Well, here's an interesting twist and update on the topic: musiciansfriend.com now lists the Polar as "In Stock", but indicates that both the keyboard and desktop versions will be available in 32 days. That sounds more like they just ran out of stock and are awaiting more from the manufacturer/supplier. Hmmm...

i said this on gearslutz 3 mos ago when someone brought up the topic. Manufacturers play a very fickle game with supply and demand and how many units are on the secondary market. when there are 20,000 units produced and 20% of them are now on the secondary market most manufacturers will pull them off the line to see if demand for new units materializes or if the secondary market has taken it over.

could be wrong but thats pretty common practice for anything that costs a lot to make(auto manufactorers take a lesson!)

No, something is definitely up at access. No way would Sweetwater list them as "discontinued" if they were just holding off manufacturing... it would be listed as 'out of stock'.

Exactly. I have seen numerous products on Sweetwater that are listed in the results, but are out of stock. Sweetwater has this little message for out of stock products where they talk about "we can get it in 30 days., blah, blah, blah".

Plus, I don't trust anything on GC's sorry excuse for a website. That company would sell you waterfront property in Nevada if they thought they could get away with it.

2.7.5 is a nightmare for me. many projects won't open saying insufficient USB bandwidth when they worked 20 minutes prior : \

My money is on the TI mkII. I don;t see how it can be anything else. Other forums seem to agree with my assessment.

I saw a little flash ad on nova musik while ordering some gear that said something about TI version 2. I'll see if I can find it again.

Yeah, see i you can screenshot it if you find it.

Apparently, this thread got a plug on Matrixsynth.

Check it out:

it switches from a TI rackmount to a TI keyboard to a little thing that says Version 2 and then back to the rackmount. I didn't screencap the keyboard.
