When I pre-ordered mine I was given an estimate of May 18-20th
And in fact my order still shows that.

But wherever I've checked, if you order one right now, they are saying
July 5th.

yeah, thought so too until I realized the sad truth :/

well, my patience took the better of me so I ordered one from a japanese ebay merchant. Ended ap costing quite a bit more though!

No harm in waiting - after import taxes etc, I ended up paing almost 100€ extra

But early next week it's here, need that volca fix hahah

nice!

just be careful when saving your fm sequences. You need to save both the patch and the sequence data, and if you're using specific transpositions, envs, arps and algorithm settings, also remember to motion record them all to the sequence and save the sequence. I've lost a few really cool Autechresque sequences because I forgt to do all this

Where did you guys get yours from?

I got mine from GAK today.

It's very nice, but the lack of MIDI note velocity is glaringly obvious.

I managed to jury rig a "MIDI pipe" to work around the omission for now.

EDIT: I've hacked together a simple Max4Live device that lets Ableton do the same.
