WTF!!!
Oct 9th???
Now THAT’s early. Sweet. Post pics the moment you get it.
Nice one! very jealous.
time will tell!
yes time will tell.. should be here on wednesday.. will post pics and impressions..
i wasn’t expecting it to ship til november as that’s what all dealers are quoting..
they really hooked me up on the price.. and now with this early shipping.. icing on the cake if it really is an S4 they shipped me and not a casio keyboard by mistake.. 
I personally would have waited until it was at least on the truck for delivery to say anything. If it is to early there’s a chance NI could halt it.
pics or it didn’t happen mate
conversation i had with a pro audio star rep:
Native Instruments Kontrol S4 has already started shipping??
rob : not yet as far as i know
guy on a forum is claiming he got a shipping tracking # from you guys. not supposed to be shipped till nov 1st earliest last i heard
rob : he prob on our pre order lsit
rob : list*
rob : we generate tracking numbers automatically
even before shipping?
rob : yes so that the customer has tracking info from them beginning
Yeah a lot of times someone at fed ex oks it to ship only to have the company halt it either in transit or before it even lands on the truck happened with my Iphone 3G although, a lot of people were reporting on blogs that there phones were being listed as shipped so keep it quite until it gets to your doorstep. 
according to some guy at proaudiostar.. only tracking #.. not shipped yet..
bummer.. sorry for the false alarm.. all you haters can smile now
i woulda ordered from ean.. but dam the CA tax is killer.. and proaudio gave me a fat discount so i can’t complaint.. sigh
What kind of a fat discount did they give you? and why?
TechTools would never tease you with a fake fed ex tracking # 
CALM DOWN.
To the O.P. its great that you have shipping number, its a nice start to the final stage of getting an S4 but dude, for your mental healths sake do not start checking the Tracking Number every hour every day from now (i know thats what id be doing if i were you).
Nothing has left Berlin yet… seriously… calm down, few deep breaths maybe a valium.
Give it 2 weeks and you will have it im sure but your gonna burst a blood vessel getting so wound up each day that it doesnt arrive…
I bet the guy nearly had a heart attack !!!
yup almost had a heart attack.. i hit f5 on my browser every 2 minutes to see shipping update.. i even got fedex to send sms updates to me .. omg im so so so excited!!
btw ean.. i prefer 100 discount over your tutorial dvd.. how bout hooking up all these fanboys of yours with a benjamin instead of a talking manual
post your tutorial on techtools for everyone.. but then again.. its all about the money after all.. i don’t blame ya
Umm I’m pretty sure TechTools has the same price everyone else does. If you can find it for 799+ No Shipping and Tax free that’s a deal but I would honestly bet that the DVD is worth close to a benjamin as it is I am sure much more than a talking manual.
just from the short time ive been a part of this forum, i feel confident in saying that I am SURE ean has thrown us the cheapest price possible, and then some by spending the time and energy to make us a dvd tutorial for each and every s4 purchased. show some respect dude, the man is the father of controllerism lol
edit: oh by the way, i checked your pro audio website…yeah, you got the S4 for the same price, so enjoy your S4 without the dvd…OH SNAP lol
+1
if you guys have bought enough gear.. you would know that prices listed on websites are NOT the lowest price..
if you have good relationship and past deals with the dealer.. you will pay less than website price.. you just have to ask…
i buy all my gear through email dealings not through sites… this applies to proaudiostar.. pssl.. perhaps ean too? you just gotta ask
another thing is that i had the s4 in my cart at techtools and even my billing filled out when it came to me that hey maybe others sell it too..
i was always under the impression that techtools was getting it before everyone else because ean help design it.. but it turns out it ships nov. 1st everywhere.. some dealers may get more reserved some may get less… i then found out that there are plenty of 1st batch s4 reservations still available.. so i had to go with the 799 no tax no shippin
but to be fair im sure ean will provide great great service if anything is wrong with your unit .. most likely it will since all first batch first gen gear have some bs waiting to happen.. but thats the price we pay for lack of patience
Check you out, man got contacts…
