Waiting for our Syntakts to arrive

Yep - just got mine this morning, ordered direct from Elektron same morning they were released. Like the VESA mounts on the bottom - do the other digi boxes and heat have them? Looking forward to replacing my Cycles, can’t stand the tiny writing on it, had to stick labels all over it but I can actually read the writing on the syntakt without having to take my glasses OFF!

Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate the support. :blush:

I’ve been missing my Elektron boxes since reluctantly parting with M:C, DT and DN last year so I’m very excited to get my hands on Syntakt.

The older brother is patiently waiting on delivery of the younger sibling.

Agree on the VESA mounts. Yes, the other digi boxes have them. I have my DT mounted due to desk constraints and the ST will follow suit.

Welp, my Syntakt left Cologne and is now in Memphis Tennessee, but Fedex is giving the below error:

" Clearance delay - Import Shipment requires a Commercial Invoice. No scheduled delivery date available at this time."

Usually this happens when paperwork is filed improperly or gets lost. I believe in order to fix this @Elektron will need to call the special FedEx international number they have to resolve the issue. Tried calling, but their offices in Sweden close at 4:00pm (:roll_eyes:) so I sent an email. Really hoping this doesn’t get booted back to Gothenburg.

:rofl:

I’ll ask the team to take a look at your ticket. Hopefully, it won’t cause any delays (but can’t make any promises of course).

On another note, we have no possibility to offer support via phone so a ticket is always the way to go :slight_smile:

I put my order in at Sweetwater within an hour of it going live last Thursday. I reached out yesterday since I hadn’t heard anything from my “rep” since then, which is unusual even for a pre order. Anyway he told me yesterday that they should be getting them in either that day or today but I have a sneaking suspicion that it was to keep me from canceling (not that I was planning on it) :man_shrugging:t2:

Just spoke with Andertons, I ordered on the 22nd and they’re not getting stock till 4th May now, pain

Thanks, Martin! Appreciate that. To be clear I emailed ar@elektron.se which is what my invoice email said to do should I have any questions. Hoping they see it soon.

Music Matter had 1 in stock this morning

No slides possible though

How are you using Drambo with the boxes? Just sound generators? Sequencing?

Mine is scheduled for delivery on Friday, so if you don’t hear anything by then I would call up your local shop Friday and see if they have your delivery in.

I can’t wait for mine, I know it’s getting a lot of flak online but to me it looks and sounds like the ultimate groove box.

Ordered from sweetwater as soon as it was possible, just got shipping notification, should be here Saturday!
