    Point is iZotope is doing a much better job than NI.

    And this hopefully bodes well for what is going on behind the scenes with the "next thing"...

    AFAIK there are no plans to prioritize ios support at the moment.

    Much better job? They made some of their plugins AS compatible few days/weeks ago? If it is years ago one might call it much better job....

    Yes.. a much better job than NI.

    NI will likely be months yet before we see AS native for important products like KK and Maschine.

    Kontakt is important NI product. And it is AS. KK is for free. And Maschine also, sort of... They are important, but not finantialy importatnt.

    Also Reaktor is important, but it will take, most probably, time to make it AS.

    Being "free" has no bearing on the importance of these critical products. KK and Maschine are the needed for customers to use expensive NI hardware. At this point, NI is paying the price of too much technical debt by damaging customer goodwill.

    NI products cannot be used without KK or Maschine???? Of course can be used without them...

    And if one wants to use them.... Here comes Rosetta 2.

    If I have to run it in Rosetta 2 for longer, I would buy a new Keyboard from a different brand. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Wow. I can't believe after years of being away to check what the other side of town is like, that here in 2022 we are still discussing NI's lack of support and just general lethargy like its 2010. Yet people still give them their money. Like @gunnga has demonstrated the best way to get NI's attention is to vote with your wallet and move on. If they start losing customers they will have to quickly figure out why.

    The only reason I'm here is because I was able to buy a second hand Maschine Plus and thought surely NI had gotten their act together, its been 6 years. At least their more communicative on this forum, back in the old days getting any kind of communication was a rarity.

    I am happy with NI. Win support is just great. HW is reliable and well built, SW works fine. No reason for complaints.

    As I observe it, it is much harder to support Apple platform. I guess, users know, why they use it. And face all the compatibility problems.

    Melodyne now Apple Silicone native.

    With Melodyne now AS native, I only have ONE piece of software that I use on a regular basis that is NOT native on M1.

    Komplete Kontrol.

    And I suspect it may be many months away from being so.

    I hope this is not the case.

    If NI would at least hint that their planned timetable for KK is June vs Oct, that would be helpful to how I start some new projects.

    Is this even possible???

    So, no problem for you. According to you, KK is outdated, has many design flaws, lacks many basic features (like AI), so great time stop using plugin that does not meet your standards and replace it with one of those that you like.

    No need to wait for KK on AS. At least for you.....

    super curious to hear the definitely solid proof you have that the devs aren’t doing anything.
