Keep up with all of the best Black Friday hardware deals 2025 with this constantly-updating list of music gear bargains.
Another year, another Black Friday. Typically, the day when American retail stores would offer discounts to entice people off the couch the day after Thanksgiving, it’s now become a worldwide sell-a-thon that seems to get longer and longer every year. We could lament the loss of tradition to the ever-rising tide of late-stage capitalism, or we could enjoy it for what it is: a chance to get some great deals on gear.
This year, we’ve got a few rolling lists of Black Friday deals going, including this one for the best hardware deals. Most of these bargains will continue through until December, so check back to see what else pops up as we find it. Synthesisers, drum machines, MIDI controllers – if it’s a solid discount on a solid product, it’ll end up here.

Erica Synths Bullfrog – $100 Off
A mini modular synth, Bullfrog was designed by Erica Synths in collaboration with Richie Hawtin. Although it’s a fully functioning instrument, the designers envisioned it being used in an educational environment, hence the big colorful knobs and onboard speaker. There’s even an oversized version for the teacher to hang on the wall!
With the Bullfrog, you get a single VCO with pulse-width modulation and FM, a lowpass filter, two envelopes with loop modes, a delay, plenty of patch points for connecting the ‘modules’, and more. There’s also a unique voice card, with six included in the package: sequencer, acid bassline, sampler/looper, and three blank ones for programming.
You don’t have to be a student to want a Bullfrog, even if Richie Hawtin’s hairstyle hasn’t changed since you were one.
Korg multi/poly – $100 Off
Korg’s been on a tear with its range of digital hardware synths. Our favourite of the bunch is the multi/poly, a quadruple-layer virtual analogue synth with Kaoss Physics and a whole lot more. It’s also on sale for a great price, making it one of the best hardware deals of the year.
If you’re at all familiar with multi/poly native, then you’ll instantly understand multi/poly, as it’s the exact same instrument, just plus the hardware housing. More than just a VST in a box, though, the physical multi/poly gives you that tactile Kaoss Pad that you need to properly operate the Kaoss Physics modulation functionality, one of the stand-out features of the instrument’s architecture.
If you’ve been on the lookout for a solid VA hardware synth, this Korg is one of the best on the market. We certainly wouldn’t mind seeing one under our Christmas tree.
Pittsburgh Modular Taiga Keyboard – $300 Off
Unless you’re a serious synth nerd with modular predilections, you may not be as familiar with Pittsburgh Modular as some of the other big synth names like Moog. That’s a shame, as Pittsburgh Modular has been doing a lot to advance analogue synthesis, particularly when it comes to blending East Coast synthesis (the kind that Bob Moog invented and that we’re generally familiar with) with Don Buchla-style West Coast synthesis. Case in point: the Taiga Keyboard, which is currently a whopping $300 off the original price.
A Taiga with a keyboard and 24HP Modular Expansion Bay, this semi-modular beauty gives you three oscillators with intergrading sine, sawtooth and square waveforms, a six-stage wavefolder for West Coast-style harmonics, Pittsburgh Modular’s gorgeous multimode filter, a dynamics section with a Buchla-inspired lowpass gate, LFOs and envelopes, a bucket brigade delay, and 64 patch points for extending the synthesis options.
It really is a gorgeous synthesizer, and a steal at this price. It also makes a sneaky gateway drug into the world of modular. Play at your own risk.
Gamechanger Audio Motor Synth MkII – $200 Off
Most synths are either analogue or digital. Not this one. Gamechanger Audio’s Motor Synth MKII, as the name suggests, uses motors as oscillators, making it electro-mechanical. With eight proprietary spinning motors to help generate sound (they actually spin optical discs read by lasers to create your usual analog-style waveforms), it’s not a cheap synth to make, hence its relatively high price. But it’s currently on sale for $400 off for Black Friday. Get your motors running.
The four-voice polyphonic instrument gives you two voices of drone motor waveshapes (sine, saw, square, and an electromagnetic inductive wave), an additional VA DCO, multimode analog filters, unique acceleration and brake settings for electro-mechanical pitch envelopes, and a lot more besides. It’s a very unique instrument that sounds and behaves like nothing else really on the market.
Note that the sale model advertised is an open-box unit.
