Currently I'm speculating if it's worth to wait until Black Friday to buy a Keyboard from Native instruments.
(from A-series or S-series, dunno).
I googled last years BF special offers, and it seems NI didn't doscount the hardwares, they had hardware+software combined discounts.
I've already got Komplete11, so i'm interested in a keyboard only discount.... Is that possible to happen?

Actually, sometimes they do hardware only discounts. I bought a few things on those sales - but they are totally impossible to predict.

Hey seeing you are from Hungary - do check out www.friendlyhouse.hu and hitspace.hu. Sometimes they have good deals on NI hardware.

They surely won't have a sale on the new A series, or the new S series keyboards on Black Friday... they'll be on the market for a month by then. Makes no sense for them to have a sale on something which will still sell well at that point.

Thanx, chk071!
Maybe I will not wait, and just pick one at a local store.
On the other hand, What do you mean by saying "new S series"? I thought the S-series mk2 keyboards are not new, are they? (hmm, the S88 will be the only new release for the S series keyboards, but for me an S61 mk2 would be enough)

You're right, they only added the S88 to the existing S-series keyboards. Thought there were more.

thanks for the feedback. My MPK88 just bit the dust, and had the same question.

Some more days, and we will see if BF contains KK keyboard discounts.
Anyway, In this year I'm very close to buy one keyboard.

Stlll no discounts on KK Keyboards , and there's a separate topic about Black friday/cyber monday sales - that contains almost no hardware discounts.
Anyaway BF is still ahead, and xmas, and new year's eve - so i'm optimistic

Well, you cannot slash hardware production cost by half

Maybe your local dealer will have some 10% off, but that's it.

I'm with dune_rave here. I know if won't be much but any KK hardware savings would be appreciated.

The a series are too new, wait 6 months at least. Maybe for march.

I look for S series (mk2) and it seems this s88 mk2 is cheaper here: https://www.gear4music.com/Keyboards-an ... 8-MK2/2NUA

I also tried the A-series in a shop, but IMHO too many things missing in this "light" version.
