in Komplete Kontrol

I have the MK3 Maschine and the mk2 S61. I so want to buy the MK3 but without Maschine integration at mk2 functionality its a no go. I'm sure NI has realize there questionaire was limited at best because they've brought some functions to the MK3. I mean let us use the darn screen already. Learn from AKAI one, unified system no matter the hardware. Rant over. Are there plans to reintroduce maschine into Kontr

    I will not be surprise if NI ditches Maschine as a whole or launch something “new” as substitute in the best possible scenario.

    Let’s hope my gut is totally wrong.

    I don’t know if it’s a “substitute” or not, but many moves brought to Kontakt and Komplete Kontrol are pointing at that direction.

    Leap, its expansions, loops and samples accessible by Kontakt 8, composition tools (chords, patterns, phrases)… these are all Maschine functions…

    Also the new Circular… probably (surely) is more interesting for them to propose new stuff to sell than improve what they already have giving it more functionalities. Once again, I see that their analysis brings them far away from my point of view. Evidently, commercially, proposing additions and updates to make a product stronger (asking for the right price) is not on pair with selling supposed “new” stuff.

    Probably, commercially speaking, I don’t understand anything. I continue thinking one of the strengths of a company could be being associated with a successful (and durable) product (which was the thing that brought them to be an industry leader: “NI? Oh yes… the ones of Maschine”… “NI? Oh yes…the ones of Traktor”)… what they think now is that it’s better to be known as a “large products portfolio” company
