Nobody outside of Korg has any idea home much this thing will cost, what it actually does, etc. Vendors were listing and taking pre-orders on the TI months prior to release (you have yours, right? mine's pretty cool), so it's anybody's guess when this thing really sees the light of day.
For example, there is no pure analog or hybrid design out there with any kind of polyphony for less that about $3k US, save the Dave Smith Poly Evolver, and that almost doesn't count (it sounds mighty cool, no doubt). Yet Moog has the stones to sell their mono thingy for over $3k US.
If this thing actually has a pile of analog or analog/digital oscillators with a lot of polyphony, parallel effects, etc., it would be pretty expensive. There is still only so much you can do between 20hz and 20khz that anyone wouldn't rather do on a PC (e.g., sequencing), however.
