So would I. However,could you imagine the support hassles?

That would be the reason why that idea's a big no...

And that might be my guess... something that might have had its initial roots in Phrazor perhaps with a Kore tie-in too.

Native Instruments will be announcing a security device, adapted from the bicycle theft prevention industry, to keep your expensive organ drawbar controller from being stolen -- the NI B4 D-lock.

Viral advertising in controversial threads has been under way for some time.

A whole lot of wishful thinking going on over here for something new and exciting!!! And while I'm at it, let's throw in Urs, Rob Papen, Roger Linn, and Dave Smith to develop the most exciting Hardware-controlled soft synths ever. That would be something to talk about!!! In fact let's get a huge collaboration on this project where everyone involved gets a fair share and all the profits for each unit sold go to the Moog Foundation.

Ok haters.. come attack me now!!! Throw in your 2 cents like it matters to me. Tell me how none of what I just said makes any sense.

I know but I have ideas with no way of implementing them myself and no time!!

NI will announce awesome new versions of Vokator and Spektral Delay.

Then they will release the old versions under GPL.

Which I will then download and use to make killer tarnce.

+1 except that I'd export to Cubase.

Took me a minute, but that was a LOOONG way to go for that joke....

Way I figure, if my awful wheezes can bring a little ray of sunshine into the life of one person -- just ONE person -- well, then my cost-benefit ratio isn't doing so great. *shrug* Life's that way sometimes.

They've been discounting the classik keys for a while. That's the oldest stuff in the NI lineup and doesn't really integrate into Kore. Akoustic piano and Electrik Piano aren't state of the art anymore. B4 II could use some updating.

Updating the players to 64-bit Kontakt 3.5 would allow larger samples. Updating the Pro-53 for Kore interface would expand Kore (and yes, some new Soundpacks).

Maybe Kore gets a full midi sequencer and loop player.

A new Vocador product/vocal processor would be interesting. Autotune is huge.

DJs will deservedly get 'Mack Truck Scratch' for those with huge crabs from the sweet little things at the local pub.

I've heard NI has developed a new KORE with A.I. called HORE. that sucks all your old VSTI's into its matrix and makes you re-register them indefinitely, all the while emitting a lurid, snarky laugh through your PC speakers.

I just found this exclusive video preview of what NI have been working on for NAMM:

About time, if you ask me.

It would be great if NI announced a new drum synth (standalone/plugin) which incorporated many/all of their best drum/percussive synth -- Reaktor ensembles. Would perhaps be great if it were included in say a Battery 4 but hey even if they were to do it separately that could still be well received I think.

Adding all their worthy Reaktor drum ensembles, throwing in some new emulation modules and a decent sub bass synth -- loads of presets all accessible under one sleek GUI, imagine that! I think it would be a great addition to their software line up and could serve to give the likes of Attack and Microtonic a nudge or two.

Having to open/close several different ensembles (R5) or several different synths/samplers (Komplete) to audition an ideal sound/preset can easily get disconcerting. An easier more efficient way to audition/browse thru the plethora of (*7500+) presets from Komplete could prove to be just the right thing to do....IMHO (disclaimer).

I bought Vokator 3-computers ago, and can no longer use it, since I can't find my old registration, and NI says my original registration is 'under a different username' - so I'm screwed.

Guess that's why I'm a sucker for sending them more money for new stuff that is at-best 'handy' to use - but nowadays everything sounds the same to me anyways....so.... whatever.

They can announce anything they want - power to them.

BEST would be a lower CPU hungry version of current products. GEEZ!
