Has anyone found any documentation for these? Some are obvious, but I am not finding XY very intuitive....

Kind of interesting that I have to download a 5MB file that is a downloader, to download another file that is just 44MB

I mean why couldn't I just got the chance to download the 44MB straight from the link I got in the mail after signing up?

Makes me think that this x-mas giveaway is also a sort of beta test for their download manager

There is included a manual with the installation file (51 pages)

Yes it was a five minute gotcha for me, too, assumed the download installer just installed the .iso file -- NI please fix this, the installer should prompt and just install the blocks.

I can live with a little hoop jumping getting this kind of stuff for free

First impression is that this is very useable and easy to get into stuff, they have included a generous helping of snapshots too so one can understand a little better what these things are capable of from the get go

The "patches" in the XY seq sound really good

Nope they've been using thus system for a while now. It's actually very slick because the downloader is also the installer and when used to download Komplete you can just download what you need.

Oh then they really need to fix the installer so it will prompts for iso image installs...

Yeah but in this case a user is only downloading one file, so there is no need for options to select what to download

It's because of the Komplete Kontrol plug-in format... i bet.

NI:
Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) is an extended plug-in format. Established by Native Instruments, this groundbreaking development offers an entirely new quality of software/hardware integration. Third-party developers can now configure their software instruments to access the unique hardware features of the KOMPLETE KONTROL system directly. Leading instrument builders such as Arturia, U-He, and Output Audio are already on board, and the list of NKS partners is growing rapidly. The result? True integration.*

Yes maybe this is the reason, but it is still strange!

Didn't NI have a special promo last month for the Arturia bundle and affiliated moving forward with NKS?

Yes, this irritated me considerably. On the Mac, it was twice that size, too. Waste of 13 megabytes and time just to do a download of a downloader. What's the point? I know how to download files, otherwise I couldn't have downloaded the downloader.
