Same here. Bay Area folks - GC has a few in stock at the San Jose and San Francisco stores. I got the very first one sold from the SJ store about 30 minutes ago.
Can't wait to get off of work!

Man is this thing nice. Knobs have a great tactile feel. Browsing and loading tracks is a breeze - one knob, turn and click. Same for setting loop size/enable/disable.
The NI Controller Editor really makes this shine. I have begun working on a template for Renoise. For those who are familiar, I have Pattern Sequencing selection and scheduling mapped to one knob (again, turn and click); also have track selection/mute/unmute/ and sequence loop enable/disable mapped . Just the beginning - my head is spinning trying to think of more cool mappings.
Thanks NI! The KX1 is a beast.
Damn, now I need to figure out what to do with my SCS.3Ds. Should be able to remap it to do some non-standard things since the KX1 has pretty much everything covered as far as track navigation, loops, FX, and hot cues. Actually, the 3Ds are more natural for cue point juggling IMO - more real estate to work with plus multi-touch.
got my x1 last night and had a quick fiddle with it. the only downside to it is that you cant browse folders, only tracks.
but apart from that little gripe, its fantastic. the knobs are smooth, the lights are really bright, the loop functionality is great. i might try and re-map a little of it but i wanted it the way it was straight from the box.
excellent piece of kit N.I
well i only had a little fiddle with it last night, but yeah i couldnt browse folders, only the folder i had selected with my d-pad on my laptop.

Sweet, those LEDs look really bright
yeah theyre really bright. will be ideal in a dark booth as they flash and stay lit really well.
i was mega impressed by the whole unit, has a nice feel to it. now to get all my gear set up and running properly!
Cool :)
