KOMPLETE 9 and KOMPLETE 9 ULTIMATE have started shipping as of today. This a very exciting new product from NI, however they have announced that they are no longer supporting Mac OS 10.6 (or earlier), and they have discontinued support for Windows Vista (or earlier) as well in this new version of KOMPLETE.

The RECEPTOR 2 environment emulates the Windows Vista world, therefore at this time you will NOT be able to install KOMPLETE 9 or KOMPLETE 9 ULTIMATE on RECEPTOR 2, RECEPTOR 2+ machines at this time. Also, Rev C Receptors do not meet the storage or processing requirements of KOMPLETE 9, and as a result, it is not possible to run this software on a Rev C Receptor.

The good news is that KOMPLETE 9 and KOMPLETE 9 ULTIMATE WILL work on the RECEPTOR VIP, TRIO, and QU4TTRO models, with the TRIO and QU4TTRO shipping with K9 and K9U pre-installed starting next week. There will be an update for the VIP that makes it very easy to install KOMPLETE 9 coming very soon.

More good news is that we intend to release a software upgrade in the near future that will update RECEPTOR 2-class units so that they can install KOMPLETE 9, as well as enjoying new features like the RACK MODE interface as well as the exciting new LIVE MODE feature. We do not have a ship date for this release yet, but it is our hope that it will be released Q2 of this year.

In the meantime, please DO NOT attempt to install KOMPLETE 9 or KOMPLETE 9 ULTIMATE on a RECEPTOR 2 class unit; the installation will fail and the software will not run. You can however, still install and use KOMPLETE 8 or KOMPLETE 8 ULTIMATE, as those are Windows Vista compatible.

Thanks for your understanding on this, and stay tuned for more information as the software upgrade nears completion.

I remember when NI discontinued support for Windows XP.

Their newer stuff from that point onward still installs and works splendidly on XP.

I just purchased komplete 9 for use with my receptor i am so dissapointed to hear this. I hope the updates for the receptor 2 come out in the near future.

Fantastic news! I'd all but given up on there being any OS updates for the Receptor 2. Very happy, and can't wait!

Hope the "noise on ADAT outputs when switching patches" bug gets fixed

Wow!
After the first lines I think "Oh no, he tells us to buy a new receptor".
But in the end everything appears to be fine. Respect to your marketing and customer service!

I'm living through the same problem! They tell me when and if they make a patch or upgrade the linux OS for the Receptor 2, you have to send your unit in to them for the new OS.

2 ways:

instantaneous patch change Live mode takes advantage of available ram, and pre-loads singles/multi's next to the current one (background loading).

Note Persistence Live mode will switch to a pre-loaded inst/preset when a key is lifted, and allows sounding notes to decay (rather than cut them off).

That doesn't sound promising. So it will require some kind of hardware upgrade?

Not totally sure, but if it is a OS upgrade more than likely they will have to format the drive and load the new OS. I guess for now we will have to play the waiting game. When the time comes, I would save any files and folders to another drive before you send it to them and hope they load back up after the new OS.
