For anyone even remotely interested in the frustrating wait for Fender to implement the Native Instruments v2 FW integration into Studio Pro - I found a great little tidbit buried on the NI Forums - written back in early September by one of the few users that have attained "Legend" status on the NI forums.
He and I chat from time to time on various things. Not sure how I missed this - but in this post - he specifically mentions Studio Pro - and the likelihood of "us" (FSP) ever getting this integration:
My take - from his chair - he does not see a lot of utility in us getting this integration - given the current state of Studio Pro.
Which - when I really think about Remote Control capability (or lack thereof) - logically it starts to make complete sense why this integration has never arrived.
When compared with Bitwig, Cubase and Ableton - it appears that our little DAW is simply not a candidate for making this FW a reality until Fender decides to really overhaul the hardware control area and bring it in line with the rest of the players above.
Which is probably something that is not:
1. Easy
2. On the current development plan for the foreseeable future - due to other priorities.
3. The kind of sizzle Fender is currently selling to the masses - judging by the last year of updates - since the launch of FSP v8
All one can do is wait this out and see if either NI takes up the task with a "better" Komplete Kontrol or Fender makes some moves
Or - shorter term (much shorter) - look to one of the other options listed above.
