I just spoke with my Korg Rep and the price here in the USA will be:
list price $3400
map price: $2700 (map price is the price the stores can advertise the product and will become the street price)
Availability should be within the next 30 days but there is no official date set yet.
This will be in competition with the Roland E80 but it will have a sampler with 64mB of memory and the E80 has no sampling capability.
