Reservation is now closed!

Thank you to SO for reserving your beatbox! The number of reservations from individuals and dealers has been overwhelming.

What's next?

Well, actually Koka is done with the design and testing of the hardware. The beatbox works. Well, Koka almost hit the production button, twice. The only problem is that because of the semiconductor crisis, various components used in the beatbox design kept getting pulled from production. First this happened with NXP chips, then with crystals, and now it seems Texas Instruments is also having trouble keeping up with demand. Koka has most of the major components already reserved, but still any small change may require a slight modification to the PCB design and once the PCBs are made there is no going back.

The current forecast is that Texas Instruments will have to catch up and deliver the chips within a couple of months. In that case, the PCBs will be manufactured immediately. Otherwise, Koka would have to replace the audio codec and voltage regulators again and then hope that those parts are not taken out of production.

However, nothing has changed in the original plans. Right now, you should expect your Beatbox offering by Christmas 2022. If Koka is not ready by then, you'll get your ten euros refunded to your account, and if you opt for a great multi-sample package instead, you'll certainly get it.

Boom!
