Leaving this here for everyone to leave their thoughts on what they think about NI not including Maschine in the Komplete Packages. I personally find this to be a cash grab and I don’t respect the business & will be spending my money elsewhere moving forward until this simple change is made. We as consumers hold the power in our dollars this company get $500 a year out of me no longer.

    Has Maschine ever been part of Komplete?

    The only thing I ever saw was the Maschine Drum Selection, which is a Kontakt instrument.

    Maschine SW has never been part of Komplete Bundle. It has been exclusively bundled to Maschine family controllers, it has not been, AFAIK, sold separately.

    I wonder what motivates first posts like that… A.I. from rogue companies? Total mental blackout? Bashing without rhyme or reason?

    Guy joined in April 2021, and this is his "glorious" first time posting. Well, bummer. Back to the drawing board.

    Nothing better to do.

    Could be just making music. Anyhoo.

    Nobody needs Maschine without owning one of the controllers made for it. Get Battery instead?

    mash one has always been tied to the hardware. For the first time you can buy it separate. It has noth8ng to do with komplete. If you want it buy it. You can’t get everything for free.

    Yes, I can confirm that Maschine has never been included in a Komplete bundle because it’s designed to be used with hardware. For the same reason, Traktor Pro 4 isn’t part of the bundle either. I’ve noticed some misunderstandings where people assumed these two software programs were included, but that’s not the case.
