Massive X updated - but still no support for NI keyboard poly aftertouch

Massive X "Coming soon with Komplete 11". I think was the reason I bought into the NI ecosystem properly. I owned a couple of NKS products. Now I purchase based on NKS.
However, there's a missunderstanding of the market from NI, I think. Look at Serum, Pigments, all the amazing stuff from Dawesome.
A) Make Massive X more user friendly. It's so powerful, and yet limited by its design.
B) Allow users to create banks. Soft synths live and die by 3rd party sounds.
C) Make it easier to use. Another view with a slimmed down interface, but one that's able to have instant impact on your sounds.
The challenge, is do NI have the appetite to update it.
Given it was what sold me on Komplete, I've hardly used it compared to non-NI synths.1 -
First signs of life for new synths from NI (possibly building on the PPG synths from Palm)
Also there is a Superbooth presentation about a new sequencer product called 'Circular' - I wonder if it's based on the Reaktor ensemble Spiral?

It might really make sense to release a Massive X 2, which corrects all the mistakes that were made in terms of usability, like, lack of automation, the macros (useless in my eyes), the lack of parameter values on release, the lack of a third oscillator, compared to Massive, and the lack of wavetable import (this could be a good way for NI to sell or provide addon content).
I don't know, I was pretty hyped when it was released, but, in the end, I rather use soft synths which work better for me. Which is a shame, because, there is "Massive" potential here.

tbh I think that is a strong possibility - probably with a simpler workflow as well
