It's going to be more like months from now, rather than weeks. MSRP is $399. But this isn't really a direct alternative to an AX8. Going with Helix Native would mean committing to always playing through a computer and buying a separate floor controller. If you're not comfortable with that you'd be better off with the AX8, especially if you're already on the waitlist.
Also: the price for Helix Native is $99 for Helix owners. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

Hmm the fx8 and helix aren't the same kind of device. I thought you were waiting for an ax8. Fractal is prioritizing ax8 production over the fx8.

I think the answer to your question is: they don't get many orders for the fx8, so they prioritize production for the more popular ax8 and axefx.

The Helix and Kemper are starting to cut in to their market a bit imho so they have had to adjust some pricing. We're talking about the fx8, not the ax8. They are very different devices and the price adjustment is only for the fx8. By the way, there is NFW Fractal is losing ax8 sales to Kemper when the ax8 sells for $700 less . Kemper on the other hand must be feeling pressure to lower their prices. As great as a Kemper profiler is, it's currently seriously overpriced. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

At the risk of sounding like a "I told you so" , Sweetwater and MusiciansFriend have just dropped their Kemper prices by $200. Even after that, it's still too high, but it shows they know the price is a problem.

How does the price of an AX8 compare to a Kemper in Argentina?

You can get Ax8 for 75% the price of a Kemper (without the foot controller).
Kemper price is around US$ 4000/5000 in Argentina. I've seen an AX for US$3000. -------------------- My lessons
