Native Instruments has released a new software-only version of Kore 2, and dropped the pricing for the original Kore 2 version bundled with the hardware controller.

Kore 2 Software Edition is designed for those who want to combine Kore 2 with their existing MIDI controller equipment. The Software Edition provides the full functionality of the Kore 2 application, but leaves out the dedicated Kore hardware controller. All owners of Kore 2 Software Edition will also have the option to add the Kore controller later on at any time as a separate purchase.

Prices:

• Kore 2 Software Edition is available now for a suggested retail price of $229 / €199.
• Kore 2 with hardware controller included has been reduced to $449 / €399.
