Roundup 5 June | Bitwig deals, 1010 Music and more
We were going to start this newsletter with a heads-up that the Forge-TME Vhikk-X drone module is back in stock... but, incredibly, we got our biggest batch yet on Friday afternoon and it was sold out by Wednesday! The good news is that the wizards at Glasgow Synth Guild are already working on another production run and we should have another handful here early next week - at the time of writing there are still a few available to pre-order.
Bitwig’s summer sale starts today, and there are savings of up to £90 across the range. If you’ve been tempted by their excellent DAW software there’s never been a better time to dive in. We also have a couple of bundle deals based around their new Bitwig Connect 4/12 audio interface (which has dedicated CV/gate-compatible I/O for controlling your modular).
You can buy a Connect 4/12 along with an upgrade to the full Bitwig Studio software for just £599, or go for the Studio upgrade AND a Melbourne Instruments Roto-Control for just £949 - this has to be ultimate combination of audio interfacing, DAW software and MIDI control for under a grand! (Prices include UK VAT.)
In other news, we’ve been busy restocking the shelves with top-notch studio monitors from Dynaudio, the finest Eurorack power supplies from Konstant Lab, essential Eurorack modules from Doepfer and Erica Synths, and the Cycle Instruments Tetrachords mega-sequencer. Read on for details of hot new arrivals from 1010 Music, Vongon, Cre8audio and Elektrofon, plus some tasty pre-orders from Oxi Instruments, Xaoc Devices, Body Synths and DivKid.
Until next time,
Jason, Aleks, Kyle, Luke, Molly, Rob & Tom
