Anyone knows the time when Komplete exactly launched in previous versions? Launch date for Komplete 15 (Sep-23rd) is only 4h away in Australia 😀
I'm guessing some time on the 23rd EU time, but that's complete guesswork. Whenever it is, be prepared for the download servers to be slammed. Probably followed by a multitude of "Does K15 work on Sequoia" 😂 to which the answer is no!!
Windows user here, so Mac incompatibilities do not concern me. But I certainly feel their pain! 😔And sure, downloads will probably be slow.
I do not need to create music with 15 right away, so waiting a little bit is ok for me.
I am more interested in details on features (especially Kontakt 8). But I guess a lot of YT channels will have updates early tomorrow…
hope I can download it tonight at 00:00 🤣
still nothing 🤔 Well, it's a German company. Guess they want to launch it during their office times. Which should begin right now. Come on, drink that coffee and press the button… 🙃
ahhh what? Are you being serious?
It's not nearly as German as it used to be. It's much more US-based now, with US-based owners.
If I were them, I would not release anything to customers in the middle of the night. Never, ever. One person with a problem will just get mad and set the forums on fire. That just seems needlessly risky.
If I was the release manager, I'd make it 9 am ET. Or maybe 10. Or maybe after lunch.
The past might not matter at all because Native Instruments has all new management, new people, and new owners. Things may change.
Yes, unfortunately for all Mac users it is true:https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/13671802084765-macOS-15-Sequoia-Compatibility-Statement
Seems like peeps on reddit are sayings things are working pretty well w sequoia and the new NI products
I'm using komplete ultimate 14 in Sequoia 15.1 beta 4 and there are no problems… even some plugins that were intel based and old now work… they crashed in sonoma…
That is encouraging—goosebump stuff—…What do you think of the new features in Sequoia? Anything stand out?
It is faster than Sonoma… however I just got into checking out the new features… will comment later when I do…. Earlier this year I had problems with kontakt 7 in sonoma to the point that I couldn't use it… not the case so far with sequoia….
Yep I've seen the same thing on Reddit so it's looking good for compatibility even though the official line is "not recommended to update".
Launch must be imminent, the website manual page already changed to Kontakt 8. Just some hours ago this was still Kontakt 7.
Welcome to Kontakt (native-instruments.com)
NI Shop now says 'Download: Available immediately' 😁
we have to be so close to launch…
