EDIT - I decided to make a spreadsheet in the end that gives a quick overview of the basic info regarding genre and content:

ORIGINAL POST
I've just noticed that the NI site currently is only showing 23 expansions - https://www.native-instruments.com/en/c ... xpansions/ . In Komplete 12 CE, there are 50, and there are no less than 73 in 13 CE, so its only displaying around a third of the total. At least some of these expansions are still there on the NI website - as an example, Grey Forge is here - https://www.native-instruments.com/en/p ... rey-forge/ - but its not listed in any menu I can find. To add to the confusion, clicking on the Hip Hop / R&B tab on the main page returns no results at all.
In an ideal world there would be some kind of master spreadsheet with every expansion, the genre(s) the number of WAVs, Battery Kits, Massive presets etc to get an overview of the whole range. At the moment its near impossible to figure out what everything is, and what may or may not be useful / worth installing. Anyone out there have any ideas? Cheers.
EDIT - just seen there is a list in the Komplete 13 CE product area - https://www.native-instruments.com/en/p ... s/#c945233 - but you have to click on every one to find what's in it, and there's no way to search by genre here.

Thanks you two - great resource that, superscan, but no details on the expansions.
I made a start here working from the top down (and Pure Drip as a first entry) from this list - https://www.native-instruments.com/en/p ... s/#c945233 . If anyone is REALLY bored and would find it a useful resource, feel free to add a few, I've made it free to edit for now.

I see what you mean about detail! I’ve found this incredibly useful. You may be able to reference the other spreadsheet for the order / release date as I think those are listed as such in the expansion tab.

The page you linked to shows 27 rows of 3 expansions per row, plus one row of 1.noiseboyuk wrote: Sat Sep 12, 2020 12:30 am I've just noticed that the NI site currently is only showing 23 expansions - https://www.native-instruments.com/en/c ... xpansions/ .
Pretty sure (27x3)+1 is more than 23.

Hmm, not here it doesn't. I'ts 5 rows of 4, plus one of three. Wonder why I'm only seeing that and you're seeing them all?

That spreadsheet is now done - I've had to simplify the genres a bit as there's thousands of the buggers, but hopefully someone else will also find it useful to get a quick overview.

I saw the 1st post and I decided to wait... then I forgot it for a few weeks till today. This spreadsheet is REALLY useful for me. I own K13-U-CE and I recently decided to buy a 2nd hand Maschine just to use extensions. This is really the place to find information about extensions and I never created a guide like this because I am new to Maschine. THANKS!!!!
