Heck, if NI went all Ableton and announced a new standalone tomorrow and said it's in stores right as we speak, that might destroy Akai, in all fairness.
Absolutely. Best thing Akai can do at this point is figure out what the hell is the firm availability date and promote the hell out of it. It should be promoted on every social medium platform available. Silly that they either a) don't know; or b) won't say.
But like I keep saying, I'm fine waiting for it. I actually wouldn't expect any company other than one with a stellar marketing process to announce a product at NAMM and have it ready to go shortly thereafter. I think March / April is completely realistic for any new product announced at NAMM. It's just the marketing nonsense that is Akai these days - it irks me. It's like watching an under-skilled boxer - I can see the right hand coming, the crowd can see the right hand coming, but for whatever reason, they still throw that lazy jab.
