Hey all,

Not sure if you all have this seen this, but there have been a few more teasers on NI's Instagram account over the last few days it seems!

The newest one is about 6 hours old and is giving some glimpses of the UI (don't get your hopes up though - you need to pause the video and even then you'll only get a very vague idea... but still better than nothing!

)

Why is the last mile always the hardest mile?

So far only their new modular synth does MPE, because F*ck you, that's why.
I only use Chromaphone now. The rest is "Absent" (to be on topic )
There are better options for everything AAS makes. I don't even bother with them these days. As a developer, they are dead to me.
Could you recommend alternatives to Objeq delay? I like that thing.

What's your DAW? If you have Bitwig, you can get that kind of thing by putting a resonator in the FB FX slot of one of it's delay devices.

True. Though... NI might not have anything else enticing enough this time around. K16 might be a skip for me.
This is not the only thing NI is working on for K16.

Are they making another hybrid sample instrument with vocals, strings, flutes and a fancy crossfader? Or do you mean the drum kit of an artist I’ve never heard of? Just kidding. I know it’s Reaktor 7…. I said… I KNOW it’s Reaktor 7!!! Agree with me damn it!

FM9?

Obviously it's going to be a Kontakt library that's got a very cool looking 3d commercial.

I'll take Reaktor 7 and Iris 3 FTW, that would get me to upgrade Komplete. Throw in Battery 5 for good measure.

Hey they said they were focusing on synths again right?

A Play library that AI chooses the sound for you. Along with the MIDI Pack you will be unstoppable!

NI & Izotope fusion why not bring Iris 3

Nah I don't use Bitwig, FL doesn't have a proper resonator, I'm just after that part.

we should be making unfounded last minute speculation about Absynth about now.

I think it should have new sample capabilities, always seemed a bit whack that way.

Likely an oversampling feature since it's old AF. (it's already got anti aliasing built in but hey)

New FX, reverb?

MPE

NKS everything

An Analog mode!

Oh and it's going to be a PLAY series instrument with a few dials to make it's library your own!

Somebody said Reaktor 7 so I'm gonna say Reaktor 7 - Revenge of the Blocks!

I use Blocks all the time and a new Reaktor would be amazing

And a piano with six black keys per octave?
