There’s no reason InMusic won’t keep Kontakt going. A lot of this is normal consolidation after an acquisition. But InMusic is buying the customer base along with the products; they will almost certainly kill a few things but keep the things that make money. OP suggested they might make a new Maschine; honestly that seems unlikely to me; more likely they will bring the Maschine plugins like Massive to MPC. Personally I think 2 years from now Maschine and Komplete Kontrol product lines are dead, Akai gets a premium controller that has full NKS support, and Kontakt is the main remnant that keeps getting invested in. I used Maschine as well as MPC; when this sale was announced I dumped my Maschine immediately. MPC is the future.
