    The price drop in shops is probably due to the deal that NI itself is offering now in their site. Why they are offering it…we cannot know

    Cool, as Jester pointed out, it is unlikely at the moment, with everything that's going on with the software side of things ect. Maybe Maschine 3 will release before Komplete MK3.

    The main thing it’s missing is the ability to layer and split instruments

    Lots of rumours and innuendo flying around on this topic right now. Tis rare that NI cuts this much from it's standard Komplete hardware pricing when it really does not need to.

    But for the eagle eyes in the crowd that notice that Komplete Kontrol is slowly (but surely) working its way to a V3 release (currently at 2.9.1) - it sorta makes sense that something is coming.

    Komplete Kontrol 3 + Komplete Kontrol Keyboards MK3 = makes sense to me.

    As a dedicated S61Mk2 owner - I am just hoping that NI takes an opportunity to update our firmware to at least harness most/some/a few of any new features or functions in a (Theoretical) KK v3 release.

    I’m thinking it’ll be something along the lines of the MPC Key 61 with drum pads.

    I think so too.

    Maybe even a radically different keyboard from the current kk keyboards. I can also imagine a whole new software with new ideas and a new way of thinking about music creation.

    The recent change of identity (logo) could represent this.

    Of course, the idea of modularity would be a good thing, as ableton has just done with its stand-alone push3.

    Yeah... if that's the new MK3 - other than the much needed larger screen - it's pretty much a fail...

    Be interesting to see the new Arturia Keylab MK3 that is due out soon...

    Looks legit to me.

    And I like what I see and assume about changes.

    Hope we find out more soon!

    NI is looking a bit sparse when you bring up their MIDI controller keyboards right now:

    I see the s series when I search but they've been out of stock for some time now

    Given the expiration of partner deals, The leaked image, the lack of S series availability, new Traktor hardware, GR7 Pro as part of Izotope Production Suite 6 this week, and the page above, I'd maybe warn your credit card that you're coming very soon.
