888€ for the Ren

indian summer?

Sorry, how much for a Ren? I don't think so... It's a Studio with an audio interface sellotaped on the bottom.

Studio is a good price, could possibly undercut Maschine a little bit more to really heat things up. Fly is looking pretty fair too.

I don't think any retailers in any market have accurate prices yet... I'll wait until I see something official from Akai.

DV are usually pretty spot on. I use them for pretty much all my new shopping requirements. Great service from those crazy southern monkeys.

Not saying anything bad about them in particular, but all the retailers that have posted prices so far turned out to just been guesses on their part or misinformation that they obtained one way or another...kind of unexciting until we see something more substantial IMO.

Well, at least these are nearer to the prices that I had hoped to see ?

It's good to see that the 'Studio' is pitched directly against the 'Maschine' ... which I had hoped for ( So, quick pat on the back for Nukai here ).

However, £800 is still too steep for the REN - it's a controller and I wouldn't pay that amount for any such.

+ 1 ( from a 'crazy southern monkey' ).

Happy with the Ren price looking forward to buying it
