Waiting for our Syntakts to arrive

I ordered direct from Elektron last Thursday, received tracking info an hour ago.

Ordered with the extras from Elektron straight after release. Will be delivered tomorrow around lunch time.

Mine is on the way ! I think it was the last one in stock. Ordered from a German Musikhaus

Happy day! And a poster too—will have to put it up in my “dorm room”- haha.

There’s no time like the time of waiting.

Ordered from the west coast of Sweden on Thursday. Hopefully delivered tomorrow on the east coast of Sweden. It would actually have gone faster if I had taken my bike to fetch it. :slight_smile: …but there’s something special about waiting. So I don’t mind. Yet.

Mine just shipped direct from Elektron.
I definitely ordered within 90 seconds of them releasing it so I don’t think theres any rhyme or reason to the order they’re shipping them in (I used to buy a lot of limited release sneakers and street wear so i’m pretty quick on the buttons).
I didn’t want to wait 4 months for it like i did with the 404, so i didn’t even read the description of what a Syntakt was until I’d ordered :upside_down_face:
Luckily I later found out that a Syntakt is exactly what I hoped it would be.

Similarly, I haven’t listened to any of the sound demos beyond the initial radio broadcast. Mine should arrive this week. I read 12 tracks and analog voices/FX and was sold immediately.

I’d already convinced myself that if it remotely resembled the leaked images then I was definitely going to buy it.
It ended up having more features than I’d initially expected so I’m pretty happy.
Also, I quite liked the model cycles but i just hated the knobs and buttons/pads, so I ended up selling it straight away. Always contemplated possibly picking another one up in the future but I’m glad I wont need to now.

Well Elektron managed to cancel my order before despatch so I’m officially not waiting now, and hopefully someone got my ‘bundle’ after it being sold out!
All the best to you lot :+1:

Name checks out. :wink:

Seriously though that sucks. Sorry that happened. Strange they would cancel it though. Did they say it was because they took more orders than was available?

No fella, I asked them to cancel it!
Just glad they stopped it as I’d ordered Thursday right away…

All these syntakt videos have me using the Rytm more while waiting for Syntakt to arrive. What a brilliant piece! No wonder they took the best machines from it. I ordered morning of announcement from Sweetwater in USA.

Rubadub are sound, I used to enjoy visiting the shop back in the ol’ before pandemic times. I saw that they had updated their page to say that their first batch had sold out so I emailed to ask if my order made the first batch and they got back to say it had, so I asked when they were shipping and he said hopefully in next few days. Fingers crossed it gets here in time for the bank holiday weekend…

They will once all orders have been shipped to customers and retailer but it will be the standard version not the limited one

I’ll be happy too !

Why not buying straight from any retailer?

Those I’m ok to buy from are sold out.

Got it- let’s hope Elektron put some back on soon
