I checked the specs, mine is V1.
Your V2 opens wider and is built slightly different.
I need to sell mine and get V2.
I could cut the lip a little add some dipped rubber like they use on
tool handles, I don’t feel like doing all of that though.

I haven’t seen a retro XL in stores, maybe it was a prototype/model for testers only that will come out later, idk man.

San Diego? Slide thru, let’s have some homemade cheesecake, ipa’s and beats.

The one in your pic is Onstage Mix 400 v2.

I have Onstage Mix 400 v1, fine with OG X, doesn’t play nice with XL’s headphone volume knob.

The one in your link is Gator Frameworks Adjustable Rolling Mixer Stand.

I don’t use sd slot anymore so this doesn’t bother me at all. It’s extended out as far as it can go.

I’m still used to the placement of several things from 4 x 4 q-links. Gonna be a while before muscle memory goes away and is replaced.

Nice i didn't know akai put this out.. interesting I didn't know the XL came will just about everything.. im gonna sell my plugins i have for my X :-D :-D anyone want the pro pack :-D :-D

I take that Pro-Pack, as I feel Force users should get a discount since we already have some of the features in the pack.

So I eat my words it does look like the photo. I am not to proud to admit I was wrong. It just looks kinda weirdly tacky. Why the screws all over the top plate, will there be swapable hardware components? Anyone took a look inside of one yet to see what's in there? Kinda chunky unit maybe there is an easter egg in its guts.

The screws could be a design homage to the 4000.

That makes sense. I hadn't made that connection. Thanks that cleared up that question. it would have been neat if they let you move the layout around.
