Sompler. I like this.

The only issue is that when exquisite people (like ones with British accents) say it nobody is going to be able to tell the difference.
That cracked me up! :D

Imagine this quote but replace the word "British" with "Indian" and see how hilarious it seems then.

You were probably tongue in cheek. But there is zero priority to support Linux.

The joke doesn't track quite as well with Indian accents because of how the a is pronounced.

Doesn't really sound like "sompler" if ya dig.

Yes, I know ;)

Seems to be zero priority to support Native Access 2 in general.

Dumb piece of shit still cant install updates for vst's on my system without me having to use the NI Uninstall RegTool_64bit on each and every individual update. Drives me insane, i now have 20 vst updates that wont update and zero interest in using any NI stuff anymore.
Mac mini m4 pro, Reaper, too many plugins, Modal Argon8, Novation Circuit Mono Station and now a lovely Waldorf Blofeld.

Nothing in here -so far I can see without upgrading from K7- which is worth the upgrading. Every single yt video is showing the new tools but what about the backend? Any changes here? Chords and Phrases - pretty annoying stuff, very much aimed to beginners with no plan to start. Sick.

The changelog is pretty extensive as far as engine and instrument building improvements/fixes.

It's the same even in promo images

How could this possibly matter?

It doesn't matter, but it's the fact that this bug has been on the front page (sitting right at the top) of their flagship product since the release of the previous major version (or rather one of the 7.x.x. updates).

It's the fact...what? Each to their own, and you did indicate that it's nitpicking, but I feel you're taking some implict meaning from something that- tbph- I can't even see...

I think the point of this is attention to detail!

It's easy to assume if they missed the corners on the search bar, they missed other things as well. And we know they have!

A detail I see emerging from NI is much higher $$$ for updating. No thanks
I have a really fast computer, some good mics, vintage musical instruments, and lots of fancy software. Just need some talent

It's always been expensive (£89 in the UK) to update just Kontakt.
I usually wait until something comes out that only runs in the new version.
Of course, there's always the half price sale next year ;)
