Native Instruments Discontinuation of the Kore Product Range

[dbtucson]

Kore has become my quick synth of choice, largely because it's so easy to find the kind of sounds I'm looking for quickly, and to modify that sound on the fly. I also love the ability to pull up all my Reaktor, Massive, Kontakt and Absynth patches, as well as Kore libraries, and with a double-click be able to tweak those presets from the interface in which they were created. Likewise being able to use all of my audio unit plug ins as effects with Kore, or to "Kore-ize" my other soft synths and samplers, made Kore an incredible piece of power-user technology.

I am also a Komplete user, and generally love what NI puts out there. But I admit, this news is as disappointing and ridiculous as "new Coke." Kore is unique and highly useful, even if the interface was more lights than utility.

I'm sure I will break down before year's end and "upgrade" to Maschine," but I will be using Kore as long as it runs. And I highly suggest NI rethink the decision to scrap Kore, not because I'm resistant to change but for the amazing power under the hood of Kore.
