I must confess, this one took me by surprise - Akai cinfessed they'd hidden it all away until the last minute, thogh Live Blogger Jason, snapped a pic - a good reason to stay tuned to our Live Blogs.

But basically we have an analog four voice which can run in mono (x4), poly (4 voices) and unison. Okay, theres not much to each of these voices, each one being close to the single voice of the Rythm Wolf drum machine, but four voices none the less.

I'll let Dan Gill take it from here - expected in a couple of months at around $499
