It's not changing, they said no more dead software, so they started killing off "old" hardware instead.terrybritton wrote: PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope their culture is changing, but who can know?
I'm not trying to panic you, hopefully they stick with Komplete Kontrol and keep up drivers for the S series. I just don't see anything they make as an investment that you can count on functioning 10 years from now except Kontakt, and that's only if there isn't some new sampler that comes along and wrecks it like Kontakt did to Gigasampler. They are purely $$ driven, there's a huge amount of great work put into their tools for sure, but they don't out of loyalty put extra work into keeping up hardware or software that isn't making money anymore for them. Hopefully the basic MIDI functionality of the s88 is class compliant. I use a dreaded POS M-Audio ProKeys88 because it is, and it still functions as it should.
It's the huge let down of software and computer related hardware in a nutshell, that it's not meant to last, unless you freeze your OS and plug ins at a certain point and never change. The march towards the latest greatest will render them obsolete.
