[New release] Komplete 14 has landed 🚀

Hi, just a small question:

Do you have to install Native Access 2 in order to install K14, or can this still be done with the previous Native Access app?

The one PA plugin I might be interested in says "This product is not eligible for dynamic discounts."

Not that it matters, since it seems I haven't received a voucher.

I would like to congratulate NI for the release of Komplete 14. I'm tempted but in full honesty not there yet for reasons hard to describe, but let's make one thing very clear: none of those is disbelief. When I bought into Komplete 12 (standard) it had a major impact on my workflow. Then I got Maschine, also upgraded to Ultimate which introduced me with your lenient upgrade setup.

Not to mention that you guys managed to become my favorite synth forum at that time.... Obviously I'm not going to spout Live specifics here, but considering how Komplete has become a huge deal in my workflow it's not that hard not to, for everything else there's offtopic or Reddit.

And then I got Maschine and... omg ;)

At this time Komplete 14 is not for me (maybe I like to jinx things?) but either way.. I felled compelled to congratulate you guys with an awesome achievement. Especially in this day and time...

<WAAAAY offtopic (pls no kill me!)>

Let's not kid ourselves here... there's a reason why Reason Studios pushed subscriptions, almost at the cost of perpetual. There's a reason why Adobe almost seems to hide their perpetual stuff. There's a reason why iZotope pushed really hard but apparently came back to their senses (I only see perpetial stuff).

And I applaud them.

From my pov? Selling audio software equals praising you out of the market with every single step. The more awesome features you provide the less appealing you make it for your target audience to buy into the next release. I like to think that Reason Studios learned this the very hard way, no new release for almost one year? That's very "UN Reason able" (bad pun intended, but definitely no disrespect; these guys were trendsetters and still are!).

And let's not forget that NI are trying their best as well. Not to mention iZotope.

My point here... it's easy to judge when to think of NI as "that big bad company". Heck, that applies for most. I had the pleasure to video chat with Matt from NI for a few times and I can tell you, from my pov, that was one friendly, honest & passionate guy. Apologies if I may have b0rked some policies but since I never signed any.... My point here: there are people behind all this and that is sooo easy to overlook. "THem big bad comapnies"?

My only complaint though... could you please release less awesome Asian stuff? 😌

See, my gf is Japanese and ever since we bought Concrete Sun I can kiss my Maschine goodbye during most of the weekends 😁

And congrats with the new release!

Possibly off-topic, but just to let you know: The (new?) Plugin Alliance additions page says that BX_OBERHAUSEN is "included in ultimate and above". Seems wrong as both Included products and Compare pages say that it's included in Standard.

@Nico_NI Love seeing an influx of new synths from the likes of brainworx and yourselves. Of all of this new content which of it is ready to go on Maschine Plus?

Thanks!
