Akai Pete (Pete Goodliffe, Software programmer for 2.0) on Twitter :

Kejlabal:
Hey Pete, we see ambiguous release date between community and reseller.
Any real release date officialy ?

Pete :
I suspect resellers have largely been inventing dates

Kejlabal:
Nooooooo... it was Q1 2017 or not even ?

Pete :
Should be Q1. They're rolling out of factories as we speak.

And a hint which could be related to 2.0 :
Pete : Some people now probably owe me some red wine...

June release??? That's ridiculous. Last week it was Q1 according to Andy. Why should we believe anyone at this point, 2.0 has been delayed for soooo many months now, what makes you think that it will be ready by then?

Looks like 2.0 is a myth, and the early announcement of the new Mpcs was just to make people stop complaining about the update delay and give them something else to talk/look forward to.

Really disappointed right now, I hope that the other companies will come up with some new hardware by the end of the year.

calm urself; lol

As the man said q1 ends march so end of march beginning of april u'll see v2.0.

All that other shit u was saying is seemingly because u did not get what u want at the time u wanted it so now ur in ur feelings so u lashing out.

I wish v2 was out now too as does everyone else but no need to cry baby over the da shit, and make up scenarios about v2 being a myth etc, etc.

what good will it do for u to wish other companies make a competing product for the end of the year? that will not change the fact that u have to wait until Akai release whenever they do; and u will still buy soon as available, or if u decide to boycott u still gotta wait even longer until the end of the year for an unconfirmed product that u hope some other company is making.

Best not to think like that until you get *official* hard facts.
There hasnt been any.
At NAMM 2016, it was "In 2016".

Thats the whole thing, they had a whole year. You would think 2.0 would be ready anyday now. I say the fat lady sings in a couple weeks.

All I can do is hope it ships in March, or beginning of April. Second Quarter is important to me also just as the first. The hype got people thinking irrational LOL that's a good thing I think, cause people are interested.
