Casio’s handheld sampler sold out super fast in Japan.

The SXC-1 was teased at NAMM, but Casio launched its return to sampler glory in Japan this week for ¥39,930 (around $250), and preorders almost immediately sold out. There’s still no word on a US launch, but a video (in Japanese) does show off the features and workflow in detail.
