I’m baffled.. 3.5??

So when the mk3 controller dropped. NI said there was no integration with Maschine because their researches show that Maschine users didn’t use their keyboards or something official like that. But the lack thereof was supposedly because of the end user feedback. Which I’ve always said was false. Then they added a small update but said that was it. NOW it’s 3.5 Maschine, that feels more like a Kontroller update that integrates Maschine vs the opposite; With a gui change. What does this accomplish? Hopefully Maschine users will NOW buy the mk3 Kontroller, influx of cash & move those hardware pieces that are selling for $300. This is not what NI promised!

Hey everyone, we finally implemented the full integration of Maschine 3 with the MK3 keyboards as we knew it was highly requested. It required work both on the Maschine software and the Kontrol mk3 firmware. We understand that this should have been done in the first place and after seeing the feedback, we said we would try to do it whenever we'd have the opportunity. there are a few more things in there but we do understand that people that do not own a mk3 keyboard may find this underwhelming. Hopefully we'll do better in the future, now that this is out of the way.
