I paid €777 in the last week of December 2022 at Thomann.
And I was shocked to see price changed to €899 only 3 weeks later!
The Digitakt is priceless.
I hope that the rise in its price will be reflected in several future OS updates.
Got mine new for $650 in the US in early December on sale. If budget is a concern, you just have to be disciplined waiting for sales, Elektron has plenty throughout the year.
Yes and I thought that 739,- were expensive when I got mine some month ago, but currently 899,- is insane and meh…! That price will foster MPC sales for sure.
EDIT: Same happens to Syntakt: 789,- during the last limited offer and now 1049,- just crazy.
Crazy times, inflation-wise… In most of the world!
I’m thankful this forum has such a healthy marketplace for buying/selling used gear. If I were looking for a DT right now, I’d definitely get it used.
I could swear that Syntakt was 1200 euros a few weeks back. I checked here in Germany while a friend in Japan wanted to buy one.
We’re both quite positive it was what we saw. Now he bought it for about 1000 there.
I could be mistaken
I now see that I bought Digitkat and Syntakt at the best moments there was, payed 650 euros for new Digitakt and 770 euros for new Syntakt.
Digitakt launch price £649
Current price in Anderton’s (pre-order for stock due next weekend) - £689
Current price (available now) in Elevator Sound - £699
Either you lot are shit at shopping or you just want something to be outraged about.
Current price at Elektron: £849
Guess the message is if you want a DT then buy one before retailers stock runs dry as prices will rise in line with Elektron.se.
But Andertons are charging £689 pre-order for new stock…
I’d still say jump on it if sooner rather than later if considering it, though for my tuppence worth even at £690 I’d say it’s too pricey.
Just feels a little unusual to have a retailer continue to offer a sustained c20% discount vs retailer RRP in todays market. Could well be a tax loophole though.
I’m on the fence to buy one 765€ (Bax Music, France). Seems a correct price isn’t it ?
Had no luck with second hand since 2 weeks (crooks or really bad condition buttons).
I bought a Digitakt from Anderson’s just over a year ago. Price from then to now is +17%. Everything is going up except my wages!
I just checked £684 = €773. But then importing it into Europe will add some tax. Also Andertons might be a bit falling behind since they are still on 1.30 firmware. Pretty sure the price will go up as soon as they learn about songmode.
yea DT & DN are 899 euro in thomann atm. got mine for €650 “back in the day”.
Tiz the few Bob.
Interesting, why are you getting one? Thought you didn’t really like it.
he’ll be getting another Machinedrum next
