I'm kidding/not kidding when I ask if NI is looking to get their fanbase back, and hire people who actually care about their company legacy. I've been a huge fan for years, and now I'm seeing my favorite company fail to deliver the cutting-edge features they once did. I am a HUGE fan of the X1 Mk2 and have done shows with just a single one and nothing else. But even with features I wanted like USB passthrough, the new X1 is a great disappointment, and above all else, shows the round, unintimidating design aesthetic for the new gen. We don't want this! We want razor sharp edges, and sleek aluminum shells. We want compatiblity between the NI software we've been using for ages. We want new, cool stuff that we didn't even know we wanted, to inspire us to create awesome content.
Anyways, my question is what is NI's plan for future development? Unique gear like the D2 and the Jam have been unavailable for years, so to not have new versions coming up soon after this long of being out of stock, would be complete cruelty. I have seen very fiery comments about NI on so many social media, that I'm beginning to worry.
