He also get the F*ck on my nerves.. Wanted to say it a few days ago but I thought it was just me..
(Don't want to beat him up or something but just don't like the guy)

Guys, you gotta remember he's not Akai's official announcement channel or anything.
He has the right to say whatever he likes relating to his job, and it's not his responsibility to carry out official announcements or anything.

I know but that doesn't mean that he doesn't get on my nerves. He gets on my nerves and that's why I stopt visiting his twitter timeline that's it.

Thomann has the MPC X for 1899 Euros, it was 1799 before

Great. That's a good decision.
Sometimes you hear people say how this and that guy's social media is so annoying, and I can't help but think, why on earth do you follow him then…

Key music also raised the price to 1899,- euros. Does this have to do with changes they've made to the units..??

Seems like they did raise the price. The reason l wouldn't know.

So not only they delay the release date possibly even later than Q2, they also decided it was a good idea to add another 100 euros to the X's price. Good job Akai.

Is Akai doing it or the actual stores? Capitalizing on the hype.

In these times, it'd be cool if Akai actually talked to people following them…

Already lost my patience.. If this goes on I will wait six months or even longer to get the X.. That way I can buy it when wulf season is over..

You may have hit it on the head, because Akai sells it to the stores at a certain price then the stores sell it at a reasonable price that they can't go over board with.

But someone should call the store to ask why they raised the price. If they blame Akai then ummm. That's nuts!

I'm Going to stick to the Live way I can never go over 1,300 dollars. As a matter of fact I might get the Live cheaper LOL But this raising of the price is bananas.

Well it's not just one store who raised the price, it's multiple and all of them raised the price on the same day, that can't be a coincidence. Akai is behind this.

I got really hyped again after the latest demo and now I'm back at wondering if I should be giving this company any more of my money.

They went back and upgraded the hardware. Not surprised they raised their price because their margins changed. Not a good look though and falls right in line with how Akai have historically operated.

I'm getting the Live regardless because it's exactly what I've been wanting. I'm waiting 6 months to year though so they can iron out the initial bugs and prices to drop.

So what part of the hardware was upgraded?
