    Welp too bad they don't ship to Germany. (But probably better as I don't really need it... at all...)


    The year is 2115. Thantrax's grandchild is illegally 3D printing the latest M-Audio hardware while posting a forum reply that 'holograms cannot be cracked'. :rofl:

    Says it will ship to New Zealand and says price is $246 nzd, dipped into the savings and added it to cart and it says "NOTE: Only available for U.S. shipping and requires a valid U.S. billing address" :snuffy:

    Aw shit. Sorry to hear about that guys. I don't need it as I just bought Push, but the small business I work at has been doing a little better and... for $150, shit why not. I could use it and resell it later for more.

    Might be because they arent selling any cos for the most part, at least in my experience, M-Audio stuff is cheap junk.

    Can't imagine being someone who recently bought it for 500 bucks.. lol

    I'm gonna buy one anyway.. looks like fun for 150

    They probably feel like I did after buying a used Push for $400 + $15 shipping a week before Ableton had their 30 percent sale... effectively reducing Push to about $420.

    gotta give credit where credit is due ...

    As if we would've somehow become mystically aware of this if we hadn't read Cav Emp's post ?

    then I wonder if some people just walk around with a barbed wire butt plug up their yang

    for inspiration ...

    Would be nice if you post your first impressions, since I'm interested in this thing (for THAT price).
    I agree with you that M-AUDIO hardware is crappy (I've had many stuff from them with mixed results) hence my reticence in buying anything from them now.

    BTW I sent an e-mail to my Sweetwater sales rep asking why it's so cheap and how long it'll be at that price. I'll get back to you guys when I hear something.

    does not appear that Sweetwater gives you free shipping for this, but still may be less than your state sales tax..

    @WolwerineBlues may have something to do with Avid/digidesign having sold this subsidiary some time ago...

    I like the asio drivers that come with their "cheap" stuff... when they work .. that is !
