I don't think they deserve any particular praise, they were just a bit slow to raise the price, they raised it up to £969 the next day.

Agreed..Just got lucky I caught it in time..

they could of been asses and say the price was a site error and tried to force me to pay the new price

Now now, you were lucky and avoided a bludgeoning.

Meh, the Live aint the sampler of all samplers. Its what I want though, old school in a new school approach. Its good to sell gear you don't use, it helps define your creativity and bring yourself to another level. I'm putting up my MV and a few preamps myself. Its a hobby but it pays itself, thank you to my supporters

Mine's still on a boat.

So I initially picked up a LIVE may 3 here in LA. No pre-order. Just word of mouth that they were out in the wild.

I returned it a few weeks later but under the 30 day grace due to some hardware things i was not liking with the first batch (may 30th ish).

Forward to yesterday 6/26 I was able to walk into a local GC again and purchase a LIVE from a different batch . These just arrived off the truck. Matter of fact 3 different GC stores locally had random units in stock whereas the GC warehouse (i had initially ordered a new one online) was still showing not in stock.

Where did you order from..if I may ask?

FYI to any Canadians. InMusic is now saying end of August...

I think it's best to forget about the MPC's for a while..
No matter how hard it is..
The Launch of both units is a joke..

Tokyo stores were in short supply and delayed for three weeks. So I had to go online (Rakuten) and get an unit from online shop in Osaka. It was just delivered today. Since last year I had been working with and learning a elektron analog rhythm and I had missed the news about a standalone mpc until it was mentioned in elektron forums. The audio tracks were the feature that peaked my interest along with the battery powered standalone.

Total bullshit. Should be getting some major discount. No it's not the store they're telling me it's red tape getting them into Canada. Are you kidding me?!?

End of August Now? FFS. Akai shit the bed is an understatement.
