Black Friday starts earlier and earlier every year as companies attempt to not get lost in all the noise. I think MVP loops started on Nov 1 :roll:

Don't forget the MPC-Samples Black Friday deals BTW, always some cracking site wide discounts - newsletter subscribers get the promo code one day early :nod:

Yeah, already got a few emails about Black Friday, so it can get a bit confusing.
Already two emails talking about PRE Black Friday deals...so it seems they're trying to get there before others.

Will definitely be peeping what you have to offer; I've bought some drumkits and they're always dope!

So according to that sonicstate video, Akai have told them that the spec could still change, so let's not get too carried away with what it may or may not have. I suspect things like the battery, wifi & internal storage size could be possible candidates for the chop should they need to cut costs.

EDIT: the other thing that could change is probably the name...

I think the bulk of what makes up the specs (processor, RAM, internal storage, wifi etc) resides on one of these cards they're using. $99 for a single card apparently.

Don't get your hopes down. It could drop before December.

"open for change" and "being changed" are not the same thing. There's always some misdirection there. I think this will be ready before Christmas.

I look forward to seeing what you can make with that card. Where have you seen about that?

It was shown in the leaked documents and mentioned elsewhere.

After all the Windows Embedded hype, it's interesting that Akai aren't using it at all.

an Arm SOC is more common than you may expect. Since this has serial and UTG, it should be technically possible to clone the nand to the 4GB RAM/32GB Nand version. Since it would be a Linux based OS, it should detect the upgraded memory and nand just fine. This process is the same as working with cell phones.
