I looked for the Akai booth in its usual spot down and somewhat center not to far from the Dave Smith Section of Namm and noticed that it wasn't there. When I checked the map it said they were located upstarts 206b. So my boy and I go to the booth and they have the entrance roped off. I'm thinking maybe its for a demo their taping and I let the lady at the desk out front know I wanna check the MPC X out. She says that its only by appointment to approved people. I've been to quite a few of the Naam Shows and I've seen the launch of the Renaissance, the touch, and new os. They always let you have a go on the machines. Dropping 2k for a machine you announce at Naam that no one can see except for a few cats on your roster who get to do vids turned me off. I'm not posting this to tell people what to do, I'm just passing along what was told to me. I just wanted people who haven't made it to the show and are thinking about putting dough down on this as soon as it drops to know. I'm hoping maybe it was like some Friday Press day and tomorrow they'll open it up, I'll let you know.
