But this Massive X release has been a total shambles. First it wasn’t ready in time for the new version of Komplete and now it’s missed the official release date by four months. Why does software have a longer development time than hardware is it inherently more complex? NI are supposed to be a software company, it’s their bread and butter.
software is different, once you e designed your hardware. it is what it is, as it's all enclosed the software within only has to deal with one hardware config.
software has to be able to run the same on different os different hardware configurations so will be a more complicated endeavour.

either way, no one is going to die because massive x is delayed.
anyone waiting to use massive x on a new project, complaining ni is holding them back, well, you need a reality check.

i look at release dates like a bus timetable, great idea in principle but no one expects a bus to be on time :shrug:

Seems to be common everywhere :ud:

Pretty anxious about this release.
Like said before, it'll also be interesting to compare with Kilohearts Phase Plant.
Quite different beats anyway.

Well there is no evidence that Massive X was meant to be delayed nearly a year after Komplete 12’s release.

We knew from well sourced rumours what was meant to come in K12. These rumours turned out to be largely accurate. They predicted for example Trk One before it was ever announced. They also predicted the new products in Komplete 12 like Kontakt 6, Massive X and the new Maschine packs. Basically some clever people did some datamining.

"Back in September we announced that MASSIVE X would arrive in February. Unfortunately, when building such a complex instrument, things can take longer than expected, so we’ve taken the difficult decision to delay the release until June."

NI's statement.

I bet it will be worth the wait.

I haven't upgraded to Komplete 12, but I can see why someone would be upset about this if their decision to buy Komplete 12 was influenced by having Massive X in February 2019. I remember them advertising it in no uncertain terms "Buy Komplete 12 and get Massive X when it's released in February". So it's pretty unprofessional that NI committed that to buyers without being 100% sure of the date. A 4-month delay doesn't just come out at the last minute, I suspect that they knew the project was behind schedule for a few months now.

Honestly between this behavior and also their crappy support of the Komplete Kontrol MK2 series keyboards, I'm starting to get the feeling that NI is prioritizing sales and profits above treating their customers right.

There are so many synths that have been released recently I am sure most people can still make music and design presets, etc. :wink:
