The local Guitar Center has 5 of them in stock but cannot release until the May 30. Drag....

I am on the list to receive one of the first five though so that is good news. I wonder why the delay for some and not others.

have you tried by any chance your local GC? I have a pretty good hookup but still have not been able to get them to budge. If you have a hook I will drive up...

Haven't had a chance to power it on but just by touching, the pads seem pretty nice and the buttons are clicky. Not a big deal but there is a tiny hole in the centre of the arrow pad. Not a big deal but aesthetically doesn't look as good as the hole not being there. The faders remind me of the vci-100. It's a bit stiff but I'm quite sure that with use it'll ease up.

Don't let the massive box fool you, it's not as big. It's also lighter than I expected. I'll upload pictures later on tonight.
