Must agree with you there blay. This is the second access product (first being powercore virus) ive pre-ordered because they said the shipping date would be one thing, then its delayed for an extended period of time for whatever reason. I could of used the deposit money for other kit or whatever in the meantime and paid for the TI with the pay cheque nearer its rell date.
Its bloody simple to me. DONT ANNOUNCE PRODUCTS TILL THEY ARE READY TO SHIP. Its a right pain in the arse for consumers to be made to keep waiting and waiting on things to be released when companies have already given release dates, even 'expected ones' (which obviously mean jack coming from access). If you cant keep release dates, dont give them or even estimations when you announce new gear, its pretty bloody simple. I for one would rather be totally oblivious to new kit until its totally ready to ship and I can actually buy it.
If this 'paper' announcement was in someway because access wanted everyone to hype to the TI instead of korgs gear then they should have more faith in thier own product and kept it quiet until either it was ready to ship or at least you had a DEFINATE date letting the buyers make up thier own minds.
And to top it off access havent given us ANYTHING else. No audio demos, no indepth specs and workings, no ideas on how certain features work. Surely they must know all this already, or will it be a suprise for us to find out for oursevles??? ooo, what joy.
