Last chance, do-not-click!

The presenter guy looks like he was kicked out of Guitar Center for loitering,
or nabbed in his sleep by the cops, and chooses hideous sounds,
in a lousy sounding room, to promote fumbling about
with a non-players robot keyboard, repleat with blinking lights,
and innovative buttons to find the 3% of Komplete sounds worth playing twice.
Well, buttons were all the rage in the '80s. 1880's.

I bet the Bitwig team is in on this uh, ah, umm, presenter.
Stealth sabotage at it's best. NI should have kept Kore.

Trust me,

don't watch the demo

Individual KOMPLETE Instruments not supported. You must own a
registered copy of KOMPLETE 9, KOMPLETE 9 ULTIMATE, KOMPLETE 10,
or KOMPLETE 10 ULTIMATE to use the KOMPLETE KONTROL software.

This detail will rack up the sales, for sure

Excuse me, while I get some coffee...

(In fairness, 3% of the sounds in Komplete, is a lot of sounds,
buttons better be on the heavy duty side)

It's pretty obvious the target audience demographic they are aiming for...

Highlighting kontakt keyswitches is kinda cool and useful... Would have been cooler and more useful to have a row of 10+ keyswitch assign button mashy things outside of the keybed proper to make that 49 key controller an effective 64 +/- key controller... but oh well... missed opportunity, I guess. Suppose you could spend more money to get a separate button keyswitch controller to augment the komplete controller.

I mean look at all that unused real estate!!!

Agree that Nick could do less "I work in a skateboard shop" look, and more "I'm a professional product specialist" look. But I guess the kids these days have lower expectations.

Scale freaking presets. Really? Scale presets?

Hate to say it... I'll take the Jorden Rudess ST3 Cacophony Demo videos over that uselessness any day. IIRC JR uses more than two fingers to play a C scale.

It's like Keyboards for Dummies.

That's about the only thing I liked about it

Don't forget all the LED's

In Germany it's 499€ (because 1€ = 1.31$ .......?)

Painful Product demo: don't watch!
