Ok, that was suprisingly easy.
Talked with Kevin at AKAI, he is replacing the unit, and letting me keep the hard drive I have been working on for a few months now...
The kicker is "authorized dealer", as far as they are concerned. If I bought it from Joe blow, I would be S.o.l
I bought on eBay from armens music, which is an authorized dealer, so my warranty is valid. A trip to the UPS store and a week or two is all it will take.
I guess this is a +1 for AKAI service... Just verify you are buying from an authorized dealer!!!
From a guy that has had or does have all the MPCs ever built, I have no bad things to say about this!
The grublet will be back on the 3k, asr combo for a minute I guess.
PEACE TO AKAIPRO! Thanks Kevin!
