Are these cunts seriously not adding this for <MK3?

I think this is part of NKS2 which will not be supported on any pre MK3 products.

Does this mean you can get NKS functionality without Komplete Kontrol? That would (almost)  be worth getting a MK3 keyboard for. I always hoped they would implement that for the older keyboards.

And then there's a third piece of software that this can speak with and that is Native Instruments' own Kontakt software. You can work with Kontakt from within Komplete Kontrol - this is a bit confusing - so right now I can load an instance of a Kontakt patch within, hosted inside, Komplete Kontrol but I can place Kontakt on a track in my DAW or just load it standalone outside of any DAW and interact with it using the browser and plug-in buttons directly.

Native Instruments have hinted that they might open this direct integration with plugins like they now have with Kontakt to third parties, so potentially just like companies can develop NKS plugins, then at some point in the future you might be able to interact with these plugins standalone with this keyboard without going through Komplete Kontrol. I'll talk about that later on...
