Good thing it's iMaschine exclusive instead, isn't it?

And people didn't get Massive X when they bought Komplete 12 initially because it wasn't finished. So unlike someone like Jean Murray, I guess they decided that they can't hype it anymore (in order to avoid potential PR issues).
Finally a sensible explanation, thank you.

Well time will tell.

For a product that's supposedly being released today, it seems odd that you can't find any mention of its existence on the NI website. I mean, there are a few pieces of info hidden deeply on the website, but you can't find those hidden nuggets from the site's front page, not even using the site's search engine.

Indeed O.o

At the other end of the spectrum, we have Spitfire Audio prominently promoting their latest product at the top of their homepage, hoping you'll order a copy of it, when it hasn't even been released yet. Who needs to wait on the product to actually exist? Let's just start selling it right away!

From what others have said in some earlier pages (and I'm just assuming it's true because I'm not aware of anything that disproves it) - NI usually doesn't usually give out public info on a product before release. Massive X being mentioned at all, let alone having a release date, is well outside the ordinary for NI - for other product launches, I haven't seen them promote products before they're released. Perhaps they changed their mind about doing the whole pre-release hype thing with Massive X after people were unhappy they had to push it back from September and want to save the hype for when it's available.

Their radio silence is still unsettling though.

Like I said, there is Massive X info buried deeply in the bowels their website, but you can't find it from the front page. You have to use Google to find the info about Massive X. I know, their main focus is their huge Summer of Sound promotion, but they should still have room for a Massive X link somewhere on the front page. I would think Massive X is the 2nd-most important news on their site at the moment (right behind their huge Summer of Sound promotion).

I think Massive X will get the spotlight on the website (top, wide banner) today. By now, 99% would be aware of Summer of Sound sale and that Massive X is included with Komplete 12. I would not be surprised if sale links are put under the Massive X banner.

About 7 hours now based on my experience.

Especially considering that the inclusion of Massive X is supposed to be a selling point for Komplete 12

It's certainly not impossible though. I'm here, doing my part. Just don't give up.
