I was holding out for the next Komplete as well.

It seems that DJ who wears a mouse helmet on stage posted on Twitter that he was talking to the insolvency team to try to get control of Traktor and other assets.

The other one nobody has mentioned that I want to stay as far away from NI is Music Tribe, for the obvious reason that it is run by Uli Behringer.

A few novel delays are coming out.

Ibanez LD-303 Layer Delayer, good for patterned rhythmic delay

Beetronix Pollinator Hazee Delay

Mentha Monk Echo.  Good for atmospheric delays and can even do a Delay Lama imitation.

Boss just released the GX-1 for $225.  It’s the most budget pedal they have in the GX line with 8 usable effects at a time including modeling, etc.

40 years ago that money would have gotten you a Boss delay pedal and a Morley wah/volume pedal and a power supply.
