alt Hacker NewsIt’s not all that crazy if you’ve paid attention to what NI has put out recently or rather what they haven’t. Their hardware has been incredibly dated forever and much of their software has been too.
They have not looked like a healthy company for years.

I would really like to see them split the businesses. The software dept shouldn't take nearly this much time to release new versions. I get moving UIs to a reasonable resolution was a big task but they felt so dead for so long
Hardware wise, I really wanted to like their Kontrol S61 MkIII midi controller - it's got a pretty decent semi-weighted Fatar keybed in it, but their QC is atrocious. Hot notes (particularly on the accidentals) meant that even a perfectly even glissando had inexplicable velocity spikes.
