Save on goodies from Arturia, Korg, Yamaha, and more!

With Black Friday deals often kicking off before 28 November, it can get a little tricky to keep track of the best offers around. But don’t fear, MusicTech is here – and we’ve already spotted a bunch of great savings on marketplace Reverb.

Each year we round up all of the best Black Friday and Cyber Weekend finds, and over at Reverb, there’s some exciting deals from some huge names. There are currently three Arturia goodies up for grabs, as well as deals on Korg, Yamaha, and Dexibell.

So, if there’s a music maker and gear-obsessive in your life, we’ve got you covered. There’s also no shame in treating yourself to an early festive prezzie, either. It’s not even December yet, after all. We’ve listed its top deals below for you, and we’re kicking things off with three great Arturia offers…

Arturia AstroLab 88 – save $120

This future-ready stage keyboard has an 88-key hammer-action keybed, over 1600 stage-ready presets, and offers deep integration with Arturia’s ecosystem. Users can integrate a vast range of custom sounds through its Analog Lab plugin, V Collection suite, and Pigments soft synth. It’s also built using aluminium and bakelite to ensure solid sturdiness and portability. In this deal, you can save $120, as it’s now reduced to $2,279.99. No laptop is required.

Arturia DrumBrute Impact 1984 – save 20%

The DrumBrute was given a retro-inspired makeover earlier this year, and there’s 20 percent knocked off this mint-condition one on Reverb – taking it down to just $239.20. It delivers “beefy, Brute-powered sound”, as Arturia says, and offers per-voice colour controls, built-in analogue distortion, and polyrhythmic sequencing. There’s also a 64-step sequencer, 10 drum sounds, and can be used via MIDI or USB, making it perhaps the perfect way to integrate retro beats into your studio setup.

Arturia MINIBRUTE 2 (noir edition) – save 10%

Another Arturia goodie with a unique makeover is this noir edition MINIBRUTE2. This semi-modular 25-key analogue synth features Brute oscillators, an acidic Steiner-Parker filter, and the signature “mayhem-inducing” Brute Factor knob loved by fans. With 10 percent off, it’s down to $296.10.

KORG Nautilus 88 – save over $1,000!

Korg’s Nautilus gives players the “sound quality and capability” of its Kronos workstation in a streamlined, Japanese-made performance synth. It has the power of Kronos’ nine sound engines, a lightweight design, and up to 14 simultaneous effects and 32 simultaneous EQs – just to name a few key features. There’s also over $1,000 in bonus EXS sound libraries, fully featured onboard sampling and HD audio recording.

Not only is this a solid investment, but it currently has over $1,000 knocked off its price. You can get your hands on this one for $1,399.99.

Yamaha MONTAGE-M8x – save $675

Second-hand but in certified mint condition, this M8x is one of three MONTAGE-M models, and exclusively offers a GEX action keyboard with Polyphonic Aftertouch. It has three engines for vintage analogue, FM, and realistic instrument sounds, plus a Motion Control engine. It also boasts 400-note polyphony, 10GB of ROM preset memory, 88 keys and polyphonic aftertouch. Save over $600, as this one is now priced at $3,824.99.

Dexibell VIVO S8 Stage Piano – save $600

This 88-key stage piano features a graded hammer action keyboard with ivory feel keys and a quad-core processor (4x Faster Loading and 2x CPU Speed). It’s got 3.2 GB of memory, 180 sounds, a dedicated organ sound engine, and programmable outputs. There’s also unlimited polyphony at 24-bit /48 kHz audio quality, as well as 12 studio-quality effects, Bluetooth audio and MIDI support. You can grab it now for $2,399.99, saving you $600.

And that concludes our Reverb round up (for now!). Reverb has introduced a lot of changes on its platform as of late – all following its return to independence – which are intended to make buying and selling a smoother experience. It’s launched a newly revamped version of the Reverb Wallet, and lower seller fees for those in the UK.
