Yup. It just logged in without me no problem. Too bad I didn't catch that sale. Also wonder how much they 'erroneously' sold?

OH THANK GOD they moved the touch strip somewhere else

Also, I was hoping for a set of faders, maybe an XY pad, but all in all it's a good update.

They look nice. My only question is... Do they still have the utterly ridiculous workflow where you need to press page left or right dozens of times to get to the page you want when there are dozens of pages? Or did they come to their senses and have a function to jump directly to a parameter page?

In the video, if I'm not mistaken, it looks it groups 5 pages at a time so when you click over, at least you get 5 pages together? That could be a significant improvement.

Looks like plugin buttons are still forced to be knobs though. Shame. Kore had it right with 8 knobs and 8 buttons for plugin control.

Yeah you can jump between pages (up to 7 at once, if there's more than 7 pages then you get 5 pages and prev-next to jump between sets of 5). Also pages are continuous now, not limited to blocks of 8. You can see half of one page half of another etc.

One of the main things is that afaik one can now seamlessly scroll through what used to be pages.

The whole look and feel is improved, the knobs feel gorgeous, and so do the wheels. The parameter ranges are implemented a lot better now, no more endless dialing to switch something on or off. The display is crisp.

The new keyboards look nice but I wish they're still called Komplete Kontrol

Poly AT. As if they didn't already owned half of the masterkeyboard market with those things.

Could be the final breakthrough of this feature...

Will there be a way to mark some parameters as 'favorites', and group them into some...sort of a custom Easy Page for a plugin?

No immediate plans, especially since NKS controller pages are now entirely scriptable from KSP and can be dynamic. But a notable idea. Will pass it on.

Sad state of Native Instruments
