Have you really given up on Reaktor, NI?

I can't believe it, have NI really given up?

We don't know the details, so it's not worth speculating. It's unlikely to be good, but might not be terminal… have to wait and see.

Remember:

Reaktor remains a supported product and we continue to maintain it as a baseline.

Beyond this, we are in a research phase where we are exploring a number of possible futures for the NI synths portfolio (which includes Reaktor). We don't have anything concrete to share right now, but we are looking forward to sharing more as and when the time is right.

I think Mr Z's situation predates this message, so it probably still applies, but an all bells and whistles, feature requests fulfilled R7 doesn't seem likely :)

Very, very sad

I tried to warn you guys…

Where does it say Vadim left ?

He's still working at N.I . , at least according to the linked in page

He's still hired at NI. Working probably not so much or not in what he would like since he's searching for a new job.

What if he just wants NI to pay him more? But anyway, almost anyone is replacable. And if Reaktor is well documented, fresh blood may bring new ideas and so on. Still it would be pity, if Vadim leaves.

There's nothing which can be concluded from that linkedin profile. People change jobs for a variety of reasons. Not to diminish his contributions – which are significant – but he is neither the only highly skilled software developer in the world, nor the only one to have worked on Reaktor. The level of impact him leaving might have on the future development of Reaktor is entirely unknown and cannot be predicted.

Reaktor is a mature product. It could continue to deliver high quality sound for decades with nothing more than maintenance releases. I'd go so far as to say the only thing it might actually need (vs. people would like it to have) is visual improvements (scalability).

It might be wise to avoid speculations, especially from the moment we have "crystal clear" (…eh, almost) answers from the devs… or we can end-up with a massive "off-topics" warnings… 😋

What a person do for a living, or if he seeks for a second job or whatever, is nobody's business. Neither is nice to post personal information from websites that you need to be a member there to see them.

Sunborn summed it up perfectly:

"What a person does for a living, or if he seeks for a second job or whatever, is nobody's business"

Posting anyone's private business, data, info, likeness etc - in any forum - whether the intent is good, bad or otherwise - is not acceptable.

If you want to speculate on the future of Reaktor - cool - but it would be wise to avoid any personal info - especially with someone elses stuff.

+1 to continued development for Reaktor. Just so I'm on record.

-1 to publishing somebody else's job search information. As a manager, I take a very dim view of that. I would never hunt down one of my own people on LinkedIn or any other job/social media platform.

And as customers of Native Instruments hardware and software, we don't have any more right to do it either.

As I said if Mods (like you?) consider it isn’t allowed just delete the pics. I put the link first and only the pics after someone said that can’t see it and won’t create an account for that. About the reason I’m not agree but I respect the rules of course.

As a manager… I’m not.

As user… I don’t care too much. I understand employees aren’t allowed to get out of the regular “corporative damage control” and you can like it or not but in the end let’s stick with forum rules. It isn’t allowed, delete it (or if I need to do it by myself, warn me… but obviously I agree to the rules if these are like that). Aside of that is more a moral thing but not a drama. You can focus on that instead of the issue I’m pointing (speculation or not, it’s up to everyone).

Ok.

For me is worst all these corporative damage control to find “soon” that Reaktor becomes discontinued… but as I said before (not in the topic maybe) I just don’t care about NI anymore. It’s clear how things had going since the lay off and how “political correctness” has more value than transparent discus… soon.

This forum makes no sense in fact, just serves for that damage control.
Bye once again but this time forever.

I am not a mod, do not work for NI but I am a manager.

No one should have to explain anything to you when it comes to posting private details of any person.

@Mutis You may edit your posting and delete the pics, if you feel so….

The fact is that a lot of really good people have been fired. And if Vadim leaves NI, I have no hope for the development of Reaktor, because Vadim is a real irreplaceable “mega brain” ....
