記念パピコ Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 from NativeInstruments Hello, We’re writing to let you know we will be ending software support for MK1 of the Komplete Kontrol S-Series keyboard controller on October 12, 2023. Starting with the upcoming release of Komplete Kontrol 3.0, future NI software releases will no longer be compatible with the MK1. Please do not attempt an update to version 3.0when it is released on October 12. You will still be able to use your MK1 keyboard with Komplete Kontrol 2.9 (or lower), which includes Apple Silicon and VST3 support. However, we will no longer maintain older versions of Komplete Kontrol and cannot guarantee they will be supported by future versions of your computer’s operating system. We occasionally need to retire older products like the MK1 in order to focus our resources and development efforts on building new, innovative products and features. In this case, our decision comes alongside the launch of our new MK3 keyboards. With MK3, we are introducing next-generation software with many new features that require significant team resources. This means we are not able to continue working to maintain older versions. We would like to thank you for your long-lasting commitment to Native Instruments and our Komplete Kontrol keyboards. Below, you’ll find a list of FAQs with detailed information on this change. If you have any further questions, please reach out to Native Instruments Customer Care for assistance. Your team at NI 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

記念パピコ Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) I thought the notification 2 days ago was terrible. It's only a matter of time before support for Mk2 is discontinued. Edited October 10, 2023 by kinen_papico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoncaloL Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I have a Mk2 but this is really concerning. I would understand in new versions of komplete software not being able to use all the new features, but to not be compatible at all it is really messed up. The release date of those keyboards was only 9 years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionel Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 This is a stark reminder NOT to invest in NI hardware if you’re in it for the long haul. Unlike other companies, NI are too lazy too maintain drivers for their HW(not to mention, they’re too lazy to maintain/update certain VSTs as well). Anyone remember NI Kore 2??? Loved that usb device and software to control all my plugins. Just another great NI product that became a door-stopper/paperweight =/ Want to invest in a company that maintains/updates drivers for all their HW? Korg is one of my faves. I have a KONTROL49 from ages ago that works amazing. To this day, the drivers are constantly updated and the device works perfect. That’s quality. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slight differences but amazing products! It boggles my mind why NI got rid of them. I remember there was an uproar amongst Kore owners when NI stopped supporting it. Owners had important Kore sound packs that they paid for… but they couldn't use them any more. Not one of NI’s best moves. Lesson learned from this: It’s only a matter of time until your NI hardware isn’t supported any more which makes it unusable. It would seem that NI are in the business of making door-stoppers and paperweights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NI makes some of the best HW and SW, but sometimes they just end up not supporting them any more. Too lazy to update their software/drivers, they want you to spend money on their latest gear =/ Money rules, customers drool 😢 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
