If you didn’t get the chance to grab Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals and were hoping to stock up, there’s still a chance on some music gear, software, and plug-ins (with a couple I missed that expire tonight). Here are a few of the best options.
Hardware
First, Reverb has up to 80% off their whole marketplace of some 300,000+ listings (internationally):
Don’t want used? They have Arturia MicroFreak new for $349 for the US.
There are also some deals on their Ableton shops, which I added a bit late to the last round-up:
Ableton EU Shop
Ableton US Shop
Ableton UK Shop
Oh, my, Modal Electronics’ Cobalt8 synth is at $499 — that’s $370 off. Not a typo; that’s from Sweetwater. Check the full Modal Electronics line; it’s all on sale. (For a competing entry, check the ASM Hydrasynth Explorer at $599.)
Opsix mk II, KORG’s excellent FM synth, is $599 at Sweetwater. From Thomann, KORG Opsix mk II is 568 € in Europe — and there’s b-stock available, even. (Thomann’s prices will look a bit lower for the USA, but check that what you’re buying isn’t subject to additional tariffs first!)
Roland’s P-6 sampler is one of my favorite pocket-able toys ever, and it’s down to $166
or 167 € at Thomann. I also love that that’s, like, actual gift-buying range. In the USA, that’s $219 at Sweetwater or $219 from Perfect Circuit.
KORG microKORG 2 is now $599 — $100 off — at Sweetwater. That’s especially sweet because of the ability to run Sinevibes’ stuff and work with slice-to-keyboard mode, plus a bunch of other 2.0 features and updated UI and achievements(!) It’s a great deal in Europe, too: 568 € from Thomann.
Want the full enchilada? Ableton Push 3 Standalone with the full Live 12 Suite Edition (including Max for Live) is $2199, a US exclusive at Sweetwater.
Buchla 266t Source of Uncertainty from Tiptop Audio is $314 at Perfect Circuit. Sure, you’ve probably had enough sources of uncertainty in 2025, but this is the cool Buchla kind!
BiG SiX 18-Channel Desktop Mixer from SSL is pretty much my ideal desktop mixer — I’ve used this one before. $2799 is $500 off its usual price, right now at Perfect Circuit.
Software
Expiring today December 5 — sorry I was late to this one — Rhodes’ superior emulations are up to 63% off.
Some big sales are still going — Soundtoys, for instance, has their sale of up to 66% off running through the end of the month. Black Friday just morphed into “the holidays.” And that includes the 5.5 update I covered in summer:
AAS has 50% off everything for their holiday sale. See my piece recently:
Arturia’s half-price sale runs through December 9. KORG’s Cyber Week sale (up to 55% off) runs through December 8. Softube (up to 75% off) expires December 7.
The App Store, same — if you’re thinking of an app, odds are it might be on sale right now!
Plugin Boutique has a bunch of Cyber Week gifts running, too: with your purchase, choose one of Moog MoogerFooger MF-103S, Lunacy Time, UAD Galaxy Tape Echo, IK Multimedia MixBox, Native Instrument Massive or Excite Audio’s Bloom Vocal Edit Lite.
Check their latest deals:
If you like bundles, they have exclusive bundles with 91-96% off — running you around 30-70 bucks.
Channel strips are on bargain-basement pricing for some reason:
Sonnox Producer Power Bundle – Oxford Inflator & Oxford Limiter is 91% off its usual price, so around 40 bucks instead of over 400.
SSL Native Channel Strip 2 is 87% off, so around 20 bucks.
MNTRA’s stuff is creative, unusual, truly something different — like an abandoned silo or ancient geometry. Their Black Friday/Cyber Week sale runs through December 9. I wrote a deep dive on El Jaguar earlier this year:
And Image Line is running their Black Friday sale for up to 30% off FL Studio and the like.
Generally, as a lot of these are still running, check the previous software round-up:
And some of the hardware is also still on sale:
Now I’m calling it a weekend! I will not be shopping, just music making. But enjoy!
