My feeling is that NI has very different priorities now and someone probably had to push for this synth to be released at all.
Think about how Plasmonic came out as an independent product instead of something like Absynth X.

I'm confident the developers would love to do bigger updates. However, there are realities that must be dealt with... VST3, scalable GUI's, native Apple Silicon support. Also, I would assume that Kontakt is a higher priority than Massive X. Kontakt must be many time the revenue generator compared to MX.
NI getting its house in order is the right move, even if it means less feature updates in the short term.

Yeah, but I don't think all is lost. What if NI releases MX2 with a fully featured browser, faster GUI, new skins, brand new granular engine, more wavetables, filters and FX? It could turn the table and become a hit
I mean, one can dream!

Guys, you don't get it.
Now you got it all wrong:
Yet they somehow made all the developers in the world adjust to Apple's new tech on their own behalf, while the Apple gets the highest profit of all companies in the world ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wish in the future updates you could favorite presets since there are so many. Or am I missing something?
From the off the preset browser - or lack of it - was the main minus point with MX
The preset handling in MX really annoys me.
fully featured browser
Two words: Komplete Kontrol.Two years and four months is a lot of time to put a proper browser in.
Now you got it all wrong:
It's the Apple Silicon which didn't work with most of software out there.but it doesn't work w/apple silicon
Yet they somehow made all the developers in the world adjust to Apple's new tech on their own behalf, while the Apple gets the highest profit of all companies in the world ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DAWs are like 200-500$/piece with hundreds of plugin stock and a lot more shit to maintain, while single saturators and compressors are 200$.
Here's what i can do with an M1 Mac:
everything
here's what i can do with NI without any DAW or computer:
nothing
now i'm off to enjoy my native m1 sessions - native instruments free

NI stuff it is some of the best stuff I own (especially with KK), I wouldn't give it up and would rather swap OS's than loose Komplete Ultimate and Maschine with my KK MK2 set up...MAC/PC, I don't give a monkeys, I only care about the software I run on it.
X32 Desk, i9 PC, S49MK2, Studio One, BWS, Live 12. PUSH 3 SA, Osmose, Summit, Pro 3, Prophet8, Syntakt, Digitone, Drumlogue, OP1-F, Eurorack, TD27 Drums, Nord Drum3P, Guitars, Basses, Amps and of course lots of pedals!

I never cared that much about NI stuff. gf has komplete kontrol 61 and machine micro mk3, and i like it for the hardware, but the software implementation kills it for me. Why would anyone want to wrap every software instrument they own and have their projects 100% dependent on support from a single developer is beyond me.
