Komplete 13, ladies and gents

And again no Absynth update...

There kinda is, its just not being released by NI!

Yeah. I think it might just be the highlight of Komplete 14.

First it was Reaktor 6, then Kontakt 6, now Guitar Rig Pro 6... so Absynth 6 makes the most sense.

And again no Absynth update...

I wouldn't expect more than patches for Absynth to run on Arm based OS X, VST3 and a resizable GUI, and I would barely expect that. The guy who coded all of Absynth is currently coding another synth with his own company, and no longer works for NI.

I feel you though, Absynth was my gateway drug to NI in general. Started in with 1.5.

Man I don't like to break bad news, but read my post right before this, the developer is designing a new synth for his own company.

NI will probably never upgrade Absynth, we can hope they maintain it, that's about it.

That's disappointing. Haven't been using Absynth 5 lately, but I would have loved a new GUI at the least.

Ah, good to know it has a definite source, NI needs to get on top of the Qt guys to fix this.

I have the great Replika in several different linux distros, with different releases of qt. In one of them, there is some serious gui corruption, but presets can be accessed. Makes sense to me that a qt flaw or flaws exist, but getting them fixed will be like the 'greased pig' chase at the local country/county fair

Just because Brian ain't with NI anymore, doesn't mean there aren't other people that can take over the code. It's a matter of effort vs payoff, though.

Pick a sound, any sound (hint: start with a new sound )

I like a lot of things about NI, the pricing structure, the sounds etc. but I haven't seen any evidence that NI will spend extra time to nurture a plug in that has a ton of legacy code that would need to be addressed, by developers who never worked on that code in the first place.

In general all I hope for is Absynth to get maintenance updates, and that's a big stretch even. Too many other projects for NI coders to work on, VST3, GUI's, Maschine development, and really, how to transition Kontakt to a resizable GUI without breaking all the third party GUI's is probably more than enough to derail Absynth permanently.

Those are all good assumptions. Time will tell which will end up being correct and which won't.

I'd just say (obviously IMHO) that never say never. Many people thought GR was practically dead and abandoned.

And all the old codebases will have to be touched if nothing for else, but for Mac on ARM. Komplete loses quite a lot in its value proposition without FM8 and Absynth in it (that's hundreds of patches, not to mention Maschine expansions rely on FM8 too).

Guitar Rig 6 Pro - Available October 1, 2020:
Full version: 199 USD
Upgrade: 149 USD
Update: 99 USD"

overpriced, all three options. full price and upgrade simply ridiculous. 99$ would be OK for someone wanting to buy a new amp sim from scratch, but as an upgrade price, 49$ is what this really deserves.

after all, this is incremental update. and someone mentioned slow development of Massive X, which is still underdeveloped after what, year, year and a half after initial release? so don't expect amps and pedals rolling out monthly. it will be slow and tedious.

[vurt]

so 49 in half price sale next time.
cool.

[EvilDragon]

Massive X and its pace of development has nothing to do with GR6 as it's done by a separate team.

I wonder why some guys obviously don't like NI but stay in this thread and write and write and write and ...
Hidden agenda?
