It's listed for $99 on the Nova Musik website here. No release date listed, but according to Chris in the comments of this post, Guitar Center and Musician's Friend have the release date listed as March 3rd. Still nothing on the Akai site.Update: I heard from Akai. It is still on track, same price and release date. The name has officially changed to the SynthStation25. The info page was removed at Apple's request.
"The Akai iPK25...now renamed SynthStation25 does in fact live. When developing hardware for Apple ipod products, Apple has a large number of hoops for developers to jump through. There was one hoop we missed so Apple made us take down the information from our web page. We are now working our way through this issue and it will be back up on the web page when we are allowed to put it back there. This has not affected shipping dates or anything, just our ability to have info regarding it up on our web page."
Maybe waiting for the app to hit iTunes?
ReplyDeleteDid Akai say anything about the SynthStation app?
ReplyDeleteThat's still on their site, so it's coming as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is great news. Any chance your contact could confirm a shipping date? Press release said Jan, Namm videos appear to say May.
ReplyDeleteI heard back. The hardware is looking like May and the software March, but it will depend on when Apple puts it up in the iTunes store.
