I called them and got them to send it to me. It'll be here today, hopefully. I've been waiting since Jan. 15th. Also, GC has a 15% coupon available and you can use it on
"ANY" InMusic Brands gear. Akai, M-Audio, Alesis, Denon, etc...It'll save you $329.85 on the "X" and $179.85 on the "LIVE". But most know they'll match prices all day any day. Even no tax prices...

Now it's time to update the firmware to 2.0.5 and get busy.

One store we have called moog audio had a display for the X and live... they then sent the live over to their other store in toronto so they could put it on display there for a while.
Not sure what is up... but canada is not looking good for any of these machines at the moment.

I own both machines and live in Canada. If you want these Mpc's. You have to order from elsewhere over the border. I ordered the Mpc Live from the US back in May from MpcStuff. They had 2 available.. Ordered the Mpc X B-Stock from Thomann in August and paid no duty on it and discounted cause it was B-stock..super surprised on the no duty. I have a good friend who works at Studio Economik. Back in April he told me to look elsewhere. First it was end of June beginning of July So I preordered half way through April. 2 weeks went by and May was starting. He hit me back saying he was told not till November/December possibly the new year now.. This is not a joke. If I were you I would look elsewhere and not waste anymore time. Canada is not getting them anytime soon.
They are good machines. I personally may be sending the Mpc X back to thomann as I feel it's just not worth the extra money for what it offers. Plus trusting akai to come through is not something I'm down with. The Live is a great little box. Personal Opinion here. In saying that, I would buy from a place that allows a 30 day return. Which Thomann does.

with the dollar as bad as it is... it wouldn't be worth it unless i drove to a guitar center and picked it up in person.... even then.. any savings would get spend on the gas it would take to drive my truck down there hahaha.
the live is listed at 1600 canadian right now.
