"Just dropping a line to let everyone on the backorder list know what is going on.
Akai really hasn't provided us with any new information on when the pad kits will arrive. So we really hope it will be sooner than later. I do assure you if you want the pads at some point to keep your order in the waiting list. We will be getting the pad kits as soon as Akai releases more from Japan and being that we are an official Akai parts dealer we get priority on the shipments of these kits.
If you have any questions please feel free to email us at any time.
We treasure your business and thank you very much for your extreme patience. Trust me the wait is worth it - the new pads are great!
Best Regards,
Michael Minehart

Voilà, ça galère "un peu"... pas avant janvier pour ceux sur liste d'attente.
... et d'autant plus qu'aparemment akai a commencé à distribuer le pad fix en Europe (si on en croit mpc-forum.com). On le trouverait chez www.musicstore.de et www.synthesizerservice.de au prix de 125 euros. A vérifier.
Effectivement j'ai contacté un type de musicstore et il m'a répondu que le pad kit était disponible pour 125 euros et quelques centimes (frais de port inclus apparemment). Arf les boules
