"First off, KORE is kind of like finally getting that girl to go with you that you have been chasing forever. It is a blend of deep disappointment and elation all at the same time. KORE is very much a version 1 with all the warts and bumps that go along with it. However, KORE also answers effectively some key gaps in soft synths to date as regards to sound design, organization, and real-time control. KORE is a combination of hardware and software. If you are thinking of getting KORE as a hardware MIDI control interface for all your software mixing needs (ex. Live and Cubase) look elsewhere. KORE is best considered as a plugin (instrument and effect) controller exclusively. Your money would be much better spent on a Behringer BCR or BCF unit or something like a Novation Remote SL (which completely rocks btw)."Title link takes you to the full review.
The KORE buglist on NI's forum has been quite a soap opera. I think NI might have gone off half-cocked on this one...
ReplyDeleteI've never been happy with NI's software quality. It took until Reaktor 5 for it to be stable for me, and I've mostly lost interest.
ReplyDeleteWay back when I bought Dynamo (crashed constantly), Spektral Delay (ultra crasho - could never use it), Reaktor upgrades (crashed). Kontakt didn't crash much tho. Absynth was also somewhat stable, but mainly, it was all buggy.
Give it 5 to 8 years?
