guys can you stop behaving like NI owns you something? it is a business and their do their business choices, good or bad, buy it or leave it, end of the conversation. I don't work for them, I don't care of loosing costumers etc… I am also not happy with something but guess what I decide to buy or not, is up to me, so yes boss, no maschine in Komplete 15, what now? you buy it or you don't, not a native instrument problem. you are saying something like, " I went to McDonalds I bought a Big Mac meal, and they didn't even give me the ice cream" can you understand how silly is your complain?

did you take a look of the plug-ins offered in the Collector edition? there was Maschine 3 included?

You’re going to hang your hat on that answer? You’re missing the point. I’ve spent over $5,000 with NI, and that’s the response you give me? LOL. You’re not getting another dollar from me. I invested in your top-of-the-line products (Collector’s Edition), expecting loyalty to be reciprocated, but NI should treat its loyal customers like the lifeblood of the company. Oh well…

NI and Francisco Partners, AI is coming for your jobs. Many companies are now focused on achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) and, eventually, artificial super-intelligence (ASI). This transition could happen within the next several years. And long before AGI reaches its full potential, I’ll have the freedom to produce music without Native Instruments.

Sam Altman has promised that ChatGPT-5 will be pushing the limits of AGI for applications like music creation! And if it doesn’t happen with ChatGPT-5, ChatGPT-6 is expected by 2026 or 2027, which should easily make it possible to create and manipulate any sound I can imagine. I could play these sounds directly on my Native Instruments S-Series Komplete Kontrol S88 MK3 keyboard—absolutely any sound I want! That day is coming sooner than expected. NI could soon be little more than a MIDI controller company. I love the S88 MK3! But other models, like the S61 MK3 and S49 MK3, should be reconsidered.

iZotope, on the other hand, is a true gem in software audio. Talk to me in a few years when AI is fully integrated into this space. Francisco Partners, I hope you’re aware of how short-term your investment may be. 😀

bro what are you talking about?

I DON'T WORK FOR NATIVE INSTRUMENTS! so those $5,000 didn't help me to pay the bills. you are not my costumer. (thank god)

for everything else you said, you didn't make any sense.

they can drop the "robot megatroninc music x 10,000" tomorrow and you still make no sense, if you go to buy groceries in the same place every week, do they give you free stuff? no, same thing.

you can be an investor in NI and they still not obligated to give you free stuff. you are asking for free stuff, and so far it is the most absurd request I heard.

maschine is not part of Collector edition, so you did't pay for it, so you don't get it.

if you want it, you buy it.

even if chat GPT 300 comes out.

At first, I was like 😀😀 because I agree that NI and their new private equity people are not respecting many customers - especially long term, high spending customers - but then I was like 🤬🤡 when I saw you promoting what people want to call "AI" music generation and laughing about humans losing their jobs to advanced scripting. Log off, delete your account, etc.

Well what do you expect? He comes on here with a grand total of 7 posts complaining about a $547 "investment" as a HOBBYIST PRODUCER…meaning he's never made a dime at it, but he's mad about not getting "freebies".

That's what I like about this place…an endless stream of humor and amusement…..
