I still plan to get Komplete at some point, and a new synth added to it never hurts, but the marketing hype that led up to this Monark synth seems disproportionate to me. Even if it does sound great, over hyping it is not going to sell it -- watching it climb to the top of KVR ranks on its own merit would. It sort of feels like someone in marketing felt pressure to pump Komplete advertising and used this new synth as the lever. I listened to the demo and didn't hear anything special, and even if it does sound great its still monophonic (which usually means too CPU hungry to run well polyphonically).
