In a quest to bring my soft synths up to date, I took up Native Instruments offer to upgrade my entire NI Complete collection to their latest and greatest, for free - after I buy the KORE - their midi/audio hardware interface and controller. The KORE arrived today, and I played with it a little using my old synths, but I couldn't take full advantage of the KORE without using their preset library (which apparently contains 10,000+ sounds). I couldn't use the presets just yet, because they are all for the upgraded versions of the instruments, which I don't have until the DVDs arrive with KOMPLETE 4 I can't do much with this beautiful piece of gear. Stay tuned for a proper review. Can't wait till it's all here and working.
