Andertons in the uk have sent me an email saying that the batch they were due to receive today has been pushed back till the end of the month, I wonder if that means they are changing the packaging.

It might help give an idea how many defective units are out there. I posted that I bought one and it had a broken fader. Could very well help someone make the decision if they want to take the gamble or not.

My unit finally came in, ordered from Juno.co.uk. They shipped it straight away but was stuck at customs for a while so it took a bit.
Honestly kudos to Juno for the careful packing of this thing.
There was a cardboard vinyl type box which had the KO 2 box inside, surrounded by basically a sea of THICK bubble wrap. Multiple layers all around the cardboard box.
Within this cardboard box was the actual Ko 2 box, which came in perfectly undamaged.
Low and behold, everything works. Fader is good, keys arent sticking and speaker is good to go as well!

That image of Muhammad Ali makes me wanna use this thing. Such an iconic image, KO for sure.

haha! Yeah, I just expected it to be fisher price quality from all of the issues. But its great quality. The fader is great quality, but if you ship a package that has no support with 20 packages on top and the fader in turn becomes the support, it doesnāt matter how nice the faders are. So maybe mine was near the bottom.
So correct me if im wrong but once you have used up the 9 project slots its game over?
ā¦Im starting to realize that with only 9 available projects Iām going to run out of room to create new projects pretty soon. With no way to save or backup projects to the web app Iām a bit perplexed as to what my options are. Am i expected to nuke projects ?
- TE where is the archive to web app feature? We need the ability to neatly package everything up in a project and dump it to a zip. That or the ability to create more than 9 projects. I hope this is on its way in an update.

yeah ive just resorted to deleting everything when the projects fill up. only really works since i commit everything to audio same day.
considering the storage limit too, i have to delete samples to record new ones and those bunk out the old projects so im just embracing the blank slate idea

Crazy!
Agreed. Mine is just about filled up as well. TE has said that the backup feature is coming to the web app, hopefully sooner than later.

Weird. Thereās two reasons I can think of:
- They are extra careful when the shipment is international (Iām in the Netherlands)
- Teenage Engineering sent a message to resellers to be extra careful with packaging and you mightāve just gotten an early batch where they didnāt get that message yet.

After thinking about this a bit more. This might be more complicated than we might think. If samples are moved around, deleted, and loaded over time, it would cause some inconsistency when reloading old projects. One would have to have the samples saved and available for the project file to access. l am curious to see what is developed.

nightmare-ish!
Mine went back and Iād say so did many others so they are being extra careful now with packaging

Interesting results. Thatās still pretty high for the number of issues experienced.
I donāt think this is a case of only people with problems reporting as Elektronauts board feature heavily with people who use their equipment and equally discuss how to do things.
@te-david not that youād share the results with us, but I hope you have a chance to review this small sample size to see how it compares to what people are sending back especially since some of the problems indicated are not only fader related.
Not looking for or expecting a response, but just hope someone there sees this.

I think what you have to consider is that this is nowhere near deep enough of a sample group to call this kind of survey scientific method, or even to draw any real conclusions, but itās an interesting window so that weāre going off something more firm than what we perceive to be opinions of the loudest voices.
