    You mentioned AI for idea and sound generation in the last update - can you tell us how that is coming along?

    And, based on the screenshot from machine, and the update to Kontakt 8, can we assume the side panel is coming to Komplete Kontrol?

    I hope so, this is absolutely necessary (the side browser, not AI which I don't care about)

    Sounds like dedicated stems hardware coming soon for TP4 👀

    I know many of you are waiting for an update to Battery 4 – yes, it’s not yet even Sonoma compatible. Battery is built on some older code that’s been non-trivial to upgrade. Our teams have been focused on making Kontakt 8 the best it can be, but now that it has been released, we’ll release an update to Battery 4 in the coming weeks.

    It's good to hear that a new update for Battery 4 is coming, but I doubt that will alleviate people's overall concern for Battery: Battery being no longer relevant for NI as a product.

    Does it still have a meaningful future? Or, is it indeed considered "dead" (discontinued) like many of us here fear?

    A honest and definite answer would be welcome at this point. (Same with Massive X's situation).

    Other than that: Thank you for the overall community update - much appreciated!

    I just wanna say, I really like the new kontakt tools, use the phrase tool with some percussion libraries and the fun starts, for example - great work from the native team

    That would be the S8 if it hadn't been discontinued.

    Firstly great job on everything - a lot of people like to complain who know nothing about software development who think they know everything with no knowledge of the complexities. So keep it up!

    Since you keep selling FM8 - you REALLY NEED TO UPDATE THE UI, it's too small! What's the point of it if you can't see it? I think there's a few other products you have that are also small, the original MASSIVE as well.

    It can't take that long to make a new UI or even make a new FM9.

    As for Traktor - the X1MK3 - can you add a way to make the buttons BRIGHTER? I am visually impaired and find them hard to read with the text only lit up - the MK2 was much better.

    Thanks for the update.

    Let's talk bout Maschine. @Simon_NI You call it upgrade and not update, this means something big. It must be a different beast compared to 2.0. Is there an idea on the price tag?

    It sounds like a decent update, but I am not sure it is the same leap as 1- 2. I hope they improved the sampler/audio engine a bit and did more than add a per-group time signature and a store to buy sampled instruments.

    Is M2 projects compatible with M3?

    When will the M+ updated kernel come out?

    Are any of the improvements visual on the hardware?

    Still no Battery news - really hope to see som innovation and good news in a few weeks.

    Agree releasing new software without HighDPI is beyond puzzling.

    What is the status on migrating the iZotope products to Native Access?

    Is there any chance Maschine’s patterns will get similar flexibility to play/stop triggers as, say, Ableton? It would be amazing if you could enable a pattern to start at the beginning of a cycle after hitting the pad, etc.

    The new Maschine software should, like the new Leap, have 1st party options/settings to add covers/hero graphics for custom kits/sample packs. Makes it more fun to browse your sounds.

    So, I gather both Battery and Reaktor are dead. Fine. At least sort of.
