Native Instruments have updated FM8 to v 1.4.4

Again, this removes 32 bit version, so you might want to check if your legacy projects have any instances of  FM8 before running this update.

Thanks for  the heads up I don't always read the update details.
I could see dropping support for 32 bit and not including new version in the installer.  But I don't understand why they (and other developers) feel the need to delete existing 32 bit installations.

Komplete Kontrol update is also available.

Maybe it's to ease potential support issues: if they only install 64 bit you could end up in a situation where you have e.g. v2.8 64-bit and v2.4 32-bit. People might then get confused as to why something works in one host (that's using 64-bit), but doesn't in another host (that uses the 32-bit). Another reason might be that the installer does an exact file-directory sync. All just guesses on my part though.
