More information on future updates M+

Not even a penny, until they’ve fixed the M+ firmware. @Simon_NI completely neglected every comment about Maschine Plus in his June update. Just like his team won’t respond to any questions (or this thread).

I’m not interested in ‘new later-this-year-promises’ about the development of the desktop version or other products, as long as the standalone isn’t fixed or kept compatible. I think we have to accept… the M+ is dead.

True, especially when a company becomes too large and development isn’t connected to the customers anymore (or not allowed to communicate without approval by management or multiple departments), which can also be used as an excuse.

Sometimes things aren’t moving as planned, but not informing your loyal customers is rude behavior.

Smaller companies like Polyend also make mistakes, but their lead developers stay in contact through their community forum. Open to criticism or feedback and acting upon it.

The first time @Kai_NI apologized for not following up or replying to my questions it was okay with me, but after the latest quarterly update and the silent treatment I’m done with NI as a company. Especially as @Simon_NI doesn’t step in to clarify things for us users.

Besides everything on my profile I’m using a other NI products, the advanced Ozone suite of software, and more from partners like U-he etc.. But I cannot rely on such a parent company, as everything depends more and more on centralized support and an unreliable Native Access app and authorization service, too. As long as they’re not willing to do better, I’ll avoid them as much as possible… no (more) vendor lock-in for me. Lesson learnt.
