Kontakt 4 will be available October, 1, and the upgrade from a previous version will cost 149$. Absynth 5 and Komplete 6 have also been announced (Komplete 6 includes KONTAKT 4, ABSYNTH 5, MASSIVE, FM8, GUITAR RIG 4 PRO, BATTERY 3 and REAKTOR 5 for only 339$). The whole NI products are compatible with Snow Leopard, however 64 bits testing won't start until a 64 bits sequencer/host is available (and will require updated audio interfaces drivers). | | | Comments | | Write a comment | |
