Not that it's relevant, but it's funny: I'm still on Komplete 5. I re-installed the whole thing the other day, and had a good laugh at what a mish-mash of outdated and discontinued software it is. It's like a software antique store:

Kontakt 3
Guitar Rig 3
Absynth 4
B4 II
Pro-53
Acoustik Piano
Electrik Piano

Reaktor, Battery, and FM8 are the only ones on the current version. Pretty funny. I would like to get a nice upgrade deal, but honestly, dealing with installing all of this crap, the random files it pukes up all over random spots in my HDD, the PITA that is Service Center, and that god-forsaken website of theirs, I wouldn't pay more than $50 for an upgrade, even to the newest version. Anyway, it seems like each new version of Komplete because more an more of nothing but a huge sample-collection...

That's just me, though--I have a long-standing vendetta with NI, and I would rather my money go to their competitors, e.g. IKMM and Urs.

I think that the current jobs they're offering are talking more than enough about their new preocupations.

Kore2 support.

Kontakt 6 will simplify user-created libraries (real sampling). A new UI for the under-the-hood stuff. New Kontakt libraries: Evolve, "Section" (brass and sax sections), woodwinds, Clavinet, Studio Drummer expansions will include Latin percussion libraries, REX file capability, a new structure for the libraries that emphasizes compositional structure and styles (intros, choruses, fills etc. clearly labeled with the UI organized around drag and drop song structure sections), and a new intelligent improvisation mode.

Guitar Rig will be renamed something like Studio Rack, and the number of effects will be reduced while upgrading the audio quality and capabilities. New multitrack glitch component with midi learn, arpeggiator and sequencer. A horizontal mixer view will show all the levels (ins and outs) simultaneously and allow drag and drop reordering of components. A super metering bridge component will be added that will display freq curves, waveforms, spatial arrays, etc., and which can be dropped at any location in the chain.

Massive 2 will permit waveform import.

A new standalone additive synth will be introduced including features found in Razor, Skanner and Prism but adding waveform import and a visual spectral mode ala Iris.

The trend toward touchscreen interfaces will start to show (sliders will prevail).

Just kidding.

I dream thing which is very unlikely happen orchestral sounds which allows play good sounding crescendos (currently have bad phasign problem). and new filter types for fm8 and synth which loads pro53 patches but have new features like new filters at least.

They will bring back all the discontinued synths and port them over to iOS. Calling it the "iKomplete LE forgotten" edition

Oh the irony of calling one's product 'Komplete' and then adding more stuff with each release.

Instead of which they've stripped the Kore browser categories from Kontakt, Massive.FM8 etc

Would be nice if they'd get on with some mashcine updating (multicore especially, hosts not named "cubase or live" integration next)

Sure would be nice if version 9 had a better install setup. And the service center could be better as well. Just trying to install and update Komplete is an all day operation. Operation Install Komplete ........................................................

I would also love to see Battery collect sound files within the host project if so desired. Missing samples can be a real bummer.
