With the Black Friday plugin deals coming up, you’ll want to know whether your favorite company’s plugins are on sale or not.

All The Ongoing KORG Sale Deals Right Now

Korg Black Friday Sale – Will It Happen? (TL;DR)

There is a Black Friday 2023 sale on Korg products. You can expect to see anywhere between 32 – 59% off Korg plugins this season. You will not see a sale on Korg hardware products though.

They offer direct sales during Black Friday through their official channels, including the Korg store and partner platforms like Plugin Boutique. 

If you’re looking for the iconic Korg Instruments, like the M1 Piano, Microkorg or the iPolysix, then it’s worth checking out the Black Friday sales on Korg when they drop.

Korg will additionally have sales on upgrades, so if you have the original Korg software versions, you should be able to save a bit of money upgrading to the newer versions of it.

The best thing about the Korg line is that there is now support for their DAW and plugins on Mobile, Mac, Windows, and even for Nintendo Switch. This means that you could be working on a project anywhere at any time because all files are compatible and open on all devices.

This means that when you purchase Korg plugins you additionally get AUV3 units, so you can implement them into any DAW project on your iPhone or iPad. Unfortunately, Android does not support 3rd party VSTs just yet.

Did Korg Have A Black November Sale Last Year?

Last year, Korg hosted an extensive Black Friday sale in November, running from the 14th to the 26th, where they discounted library titles and bundles by up to 50%.

In December 2022, they continued the festive spirit with a Holiday Sale from the 1st to the 28th, offering a 50% discount on all Korg music production apps and software. This included notable products such as the KORG Collection 4 series, wavestate native/opsix native, KORG Gadget 2 series, and all KORG’s iOS/Android music apps.

Where Can I Find Deals on Korg Hardware?

You will not find deals on the Korg website for hardware. However, some 3rd party retailers may sell Korg hardware for a slight discount during the Black Friday period. For these sales, you’ll want to check: Sweetwater, Gear4Music, Reverb and Thomann.

Generally, people who own Korg hardware keep it quite well, so it may also be worth checking sites like eBay, Gumtree, etc. to see if anyone is selling their hardware.

There are also often “open box” deals. These are commonly shop display models or instruments sold to retailers that don’t come in the box and have been used. You’ll get a pretty decent discount on these and they’ll be like-new.

How To Get The Most Out of Korg’s Black Friday Sale

If you are a new Korg customer, it will be best to look out for the bundles. Commonly the bundles are where you can save the most money, and if you’ve been waiting to get your hands on the digital emulations of legendary synths, then it makes sense to make use of these.

You can currently get the full Korg Collection bundle for $199 (50% Off). If you were to purchase those plugins separately, even with the discounts, you would pay a lot more.

If you’re already a Korg user, you’ll want to make use of the upgrades, if you have a previous software version. If you don’t have a previous software version, the discounts are the best you will get.

Unfortunately, this is just the way it works for most software companies’ Black Friday sales. Usually, the intro deals are much better than the customer deals.
