2025 Outlook: Maschine, Kontrol, and NKS Hardware Partnerships

it is the same. But it is welcome anyway (maybe not prioritized like this over other things, but welcome).
The same…but also eventually “worst” in a “performing live” situation
I suppose it will surely interrupt the audio, while resampling (performed in a very timely way) could probably be used while creating live.

Thanks for the update. Please allow the ability to "convert pattern to clip" on the spot on the Plus like you can on the software, without having to convert a whole Section/Scene. It'd help workflow a ton. And can we please have user-defined chords available on the Plus standalone.

Exhausted and nothing more to add.. the truth is we can use the software but what was processed wasn't a lie it in beta and coming soon.. since October 2023 I have been waiting and asking for the same stuff Jester have been detailed about and others here on the forum.. NI didn't lie to use it's coming soon.. by then a new controller will be out and many will flock to thinking they fixed what you asked for the vicious cycle continues the track record speaks for itself.. for the ones who thumbs down this post your part of the problem.

Bounce in place and Kontakt 8 on Maschine+ is great. Looking forward to it! Thanks 🤝

What does this bring / mean to the Kontrol MK3?
Alongside Maschine updates, we’re bringing exciting improvements to the flagship Kontrol S-Series MK3 in Q1:
✅ Accessibility Features – Expanding the success of MK2’s accessibility features to MK3, including Kontakt integration.
I’m not a Kontrol MK3 user (still on A and M series), but it sounds to me that KK MK3 will also see some significant improvements, ‘soon’. At least bringing it up to par with MK2, by bringing those missing and therefore much requested features over to the new hardware.
Maybe I’m a bit too optimistic here, because we finally can see / read about some development on the M+ side. And yes, we still have to wait and see what next week’s beta has in store, but the same goes for KK. IF (a BIG if) those ‘accessibility features’ are all those things that are really missing from MK2 and it these have to be released within Q1, too, then I expect the announced beta to be opened ‘soon’, too.
Not speaking up for NI here, but could this announcement have a bit more in store for Kontrol MK3 users than this more detailed explanation to the Maschine Plus Q1 updates explains? Maybe @Chris_NI could clarify this, too.

Kontakt 8 coming to M+!! And more NI fx on the M+. Very good news. I will finally be able to ditch Kontakt 6
Thank you for finishing the work on Mas2 for us M+ users before jumping onto 3.0! I also hope this includes the Reaktor sidechain fix, it's been a while since we've been able to use ext sidechaining with USER Reaktor ensembles..

when is export to Ableton Live for Maschine projects coming?

This is just a proposal for future development, but I really hope someone at NI recognizes the need. If Korg and Akai can do it, NI certainly can too.

“Accessibility features” is the system to help visually impaired users, not what you are thinking about

THANKS FOR THE INFO!! And to all Komplete kontrol people: it’s Maschine’s turn to get some attention so just stop.

I think what you re failing to understand is that those things shouldn’t be mutually exclusive.
I am a Komplete owner, Komplete Mk3 owner, KK 3 user, Kontakt user, Maschine Mk3 user (and this from the very start of Maschine) because we were sold an environment.
now it’s literally a strategy of robbing peter to benefit paul and vice versa.I want Maschine Development and progress (ek i might even consider upgrading to Maschine+ if the workflow and integration is good and Ableton integration is improved), but I also want the things that were broken from KK2 to KK3 back (browser split, subbanks etc)
I paid in full for for all these hardware and software products and expect proper resources to be allocated to all of them.
I’m sure many users are in this position

Hi @Vagus
I should have also mentioned that its really hard for us to plan more than 1 quarter ahead, with committed development tasks as we need to do feasibility analysis and effort estimation for everything that we want to work on before the next quarter begins.
For example, everything i've mentioned that is coming in Q1 was already planned and fully detailed out last quarter in December.
What we have next for Komplete Kontrol (after all of the NKS HW integration improvements are done) is the missing browser functionalities that have been highly requested and missing when comparing to the previous version of the browser: drag drop, sub banks, etc..
I will have more details on the next quarterly update, likely at the beginning of Q2 (for a release plan for Q2) after all of the analysis and preparation work is completed.
I hope that answers the question.10 -
Awesome, that's a start at least :)
