Thx Big Daddy O, that was a very Helpful Post.!!!
Very good to see the Win 8.1x64 drivers are working as that would def. be a deal breaker (if it didn't). In my account at NI, it say I have Kore Player (not sure if it's the same as Kore 2 Player or mine's less featured) and I've also got the Kore Electronic Experience sound pack.
Anyway, I always wanted to get the Kore 2 controller and this is good news....hopefully, I can find it dirt cheap or possible trade.
