In reply to Numanoid. Wow. 2009. Wouldn't have thought. Poor little Pro-53. :/

When Native Instruments released FM8 in October 2006 it retailed for $339! In 2022 corrected for inflation that would be equivalent to $499. So £12 certainly is a nice price :-)

In reply to MRG. B4 II and Pro-53 were discontinued already with the launch of Komplete 6 in 2009. FM8 was released in 2006 so Native Instruments have stuck with it for quite some time, without really giving it any major updates.

In reply to Taras Osipchuk. It doesn't take hours of study. For $10 it's worth it for the presets alone

In reply to Numanoid. Pro-53 was left behind-er for a while now. :(

In reply to samuel. I don't mind if they discontinue it (well, sorta), but then can we finally agree on a real legal definition of abandonware? Please? :) The "Orphan Works Directive" of the EU is wishy-washy about software.

sadly i wonder if this one of the last attempts from NI to make money with it, before they discontinue this completely?
i wonder if this will get updated, or at least be m1 compatible?

For those not owning Komplete, this is a no brainer. But I am also sad to say that FM8 has only had minor compatibility updates during the last 10 years. The GUI is now painfully small on todays hi-res screens, it actually begins to resemble the key hole surgery of FM programming back in the 80’s. It is annoying that Native Instruments seems to have left FM8 behind, seeing how in vouge FM synthesis has become, why don’t they develop FM9 or FMX (ala Massive X).
