The only question now is how long.

How long will it take to get these badboys distributed in the US. I'm sold on it because of the price and the functions. I know that the 4000 is the ideal machine but I don't know if I'm an ideal producer so I feel this is the best price to get my foot in the door. I recently got my computer upgraded, just picked up Sonic Foundry studio. I'm ready to roll.

15th is the rumour
already out here in the UK

Ya GC told me the 15th of this month too. I've put my money on the MPC 1000 back in Sept./Oct. sometime and I'm still waitin I ain't trippin. I hope it's worth the wait. Richard said it will be worth the wait. I guess we will see. Holla at cha boy and let me know what's real GoNe!@#$
