It has shown up on a couple of UK online music stores for £1,999.00 (Inc VAT), £1,665.83 (ex VAT).

If that is correct, it will be a lot more than $1000.

They have taken the pages down already.

Either they had no idea, and made it up, or they had an idea, and put it up too early.

For example, a search on this site shows it listed, but the link to the actual page for the product does not work, since they have removed that page...

A lot of people on other forums think that it will be under $1000.

NAMM starts in a little over a week, all will be revealed then.

Nice one dude, yeah all will be revealed, but seriously, that controller isn't worth more than 700 pounds new, its like a Maschine with Audio I/O. If they over price it, then Maschine 2 will come out and they will lose out on cornering the market space.

"Don't be greedy Akai, people these days peeps don't have a lot of cash lying about..."

Look at all the bad press on that page. You can't argue with thousands of people. The machine looks like it's struggling with Araab's pace. Either Araab can't play on time, or the machine can't handle it.

Yes I can... none of these "1000's of people" have actually used the machine themselves.

Until I give the unit a go, none of this bullshit means anything.

It's all internet talk... worthless.
