Re: Is there any plan's of kk S mk3 getting dynamic contextual control names?
I would perhaps wait and see what the next update to Kontrol S MK3 (OS 2.0) has in store for all many integrations, Cubase included.
It may be of interest - which is all I'll say until it's out.
Re: Fix the Drum State product cover graphics - this is embarrassing
"Just curious why providing feedback on certain dimension about products is such a problem. What are your priorities?"
My priorities are to create content with the Drum State library. That is all. As long I can install it and get on with it - happy customer.
Now - there is nothing wrong at all with providing feedback to improve products. I mean - if a library legitimately sounds horrible - yes by all means - provide feedback to make it sound better.
But picking on the graphics? Or icons? Or whatever else - graphically - annoys you about the entire NI product line?
It is coming off as another ham handed attempt to simply complain. About anything. Even (like this case) if it has zero to do with the overall intent of the product.
If you want to register legit feedback about product presentation - consider taking it to the teams that manage NI marketing, branding etc - none of whom BTW are on these forums.
This is a user to user support forum with a focus on the technical and workflow aspects of the respective product lines - and I am pretty sure that for 99.99% of us - the look of an icon is simply a non-starter.

Re: Maschine 3 on M+ update
You are forgetting that on that era (from which I also am) the beat machines were usually released well tested, finished and complete (for what they intended them to do). And when things were not well done, machines with bugs were a big reason for a failure… which is not the case now: some unfinished and bugged products are very successful anyway, exactly because we then can have updates (and they even slay it in your face when you make them notice what is not right: “it’s the most used product, so we are right”).
The “new” era in which we are now is the one where they cut expenses about beta testing, make very short beta periods in order to release the thing and start cashing the money (and they often ignore what beta testers tell them) and even release incomplete products saying “we will add things later”, to then make people wait ages and abandon the product before it’s completely mature in order to produce a new one to sell and make new money.
Therefore… I think the existence of people waiting for updates is more than normal
Re: Maschine 3 on M+ update
Hopefully they're not too busy developing plugins for competing hardware.

Why does Massive X 1.6 still not fully support NI keyboards?
It's been a couple of years since NI brought out poly aftertouch capable keyboards and yet the latest update to Massive X still does not support them. In fact apart from Kontakt (and Reaktor with a bit of work) none of the NI synths support Poly aftertouch, and of course this is also a long standing limitation of Maschine, which doesn't support any kind of aftertouch, not even mono. Why bother bringing out keyboards with this wonderful expressive potential and then not make use of that potential in NI's flagship synths and 'DAW" (almost)? This just seems inexplicably self defeating.
Most plugin synths these days can make use of poly or mono aftertouch sources interchangeably for aftertouch modulation - Pigments is a good example - but to play Massive X expressively, as intended, I have to switch my keyboard to mono aftertouch mode, and I can't even use Maschine to record what I play.

Re: Maschine 3 on M+ update
It's nearing the end of the beta testing phase, there is just one last stability issue the team is working on. I assure you they are doing their best to get it out ASAP!

Re: Can apple Music integration now be reconsidered as it is now on all other major platforms?
Native, now is the time to make this apple music integration happen. You are seriously lagging behind. It's a great feature. If you dont make this happen it will drastically affect your Traktor sales in the future - both software and hardware.
This comes from a guy that has been using your products exclusively almost 15 years. I hope that we dont have to jump ship because your lack of interest of competing with other companies.

Re: Can apple Music integration now be reconsidered as it is now on all other major platforms?
it has finally arrived to Serato and Record Box. I could really use this for Traktor.
Apple Music streaming integration would be amazing. I wonder if there’s any talks on implementing this feature at some point.
Re: Why does Massive X 1.6 still not fully support NI keyboards?
We are planning to release automation of all parameters with one of the next updates. We already wanted to ship that feature in spring with the 1.5 update, but then ran into complexity issues. Now that the first iteration of the Player is out we can focus on that again.
