It's a 30 second, montage of dimly lit, briefly featured buttons, knobs, and keys. I think babz is probably spot on.
And I agree with him: Their track record on supporting hardware (except for maschine) has been less than stellar.

Lol! No worries. Happens all the time. It's cyberspace. All realities are possible. It's all good, bro. And for that matter, who knows what a "n_ke" is, right?

I've been meaning to spend some time bringing K5 stuff into Mach V, to see how it gets on, so I'll have a backup plan in the event..
Mach V will import Kontakt version 4.1.0.3681 but not versions beyond that. I'm assuming it will import v4.0 and earlier.
In the process of setting up my Mac Pro1,1 as a Rosetta Stone a couple of years ago, I created a small partition for OSX 10.5. on which just Kontakt from Komplete 7 was installed. The K4 library was installed on another drive so as to be completely separate from the K5 library. No updates installed, just a new install of K4.
Mach V is easily able to open .nki instruments from the K4 library.

The announcement is now official, there are new keyboards to accompany the NI stuff. The Komplete 10 upgrade from 9 looks rather "meh" so there's no obvious reason to upgrade that I can see.
The keyboards look like they could be interesting, however, before you all get too excited, what's missing from this list?

Same here. The controller isn't being offered at any discount when bundled, and it's essentially Kore light, with a "new" software integration. I'm pretty happy skipping upgrades with NI though, I went from 6 to 9 for $149.
M2 Studio Ultra, RME Babyface FS, Slate Raven Mti2, NI SL88 MKII, Linnstrument, MPC Live II, Launchpad MK3. Hundreds of plug ins.
Just got an email about the keyboards and didn't notice at first the tiny little announcement of K10 for 1 October. Am too busy working to post all the links right now, or even read what's on them, so here is the link for Ultimate, which I consider more important than regular Komplete:
Like I said, I haven't even scrolled past the huge header at that page yet so haven't a clue what's in it. Just posting for others, as not everyone gets the emails. The regular K10 should be easy enough to find from their site at this point.
