Their hardware evolved well and their K series keybeds are really solid. Once you install the Komplete software with all the synths and samples it is a lot of fun, if not only by the sheer amount and diversity. Although when you have access to software like Garage Band for free you kinda wonder. I wish they were a bit more open though, we’ll see what happens now.
NI has been a husk for a long time, hardly surprising. It really sucks so many great sample libraries used the Kontakt format instead of something standard and open.
Their hardware was also fine but not ground breaking, in a sea of actually great options. They just didn't keep up.
The in-music-ing of so many brands is not going unnoticed among anyone with "I'll buy a moog" money, so while I expect all the brands in music is hoovering up to be profitable, I don't see any of them as huge loss to innovation.
