I was at the Nuage demo in Cologne/Germany yesterday.
Of course there was also some talk about the WK ID before and after the presentation. This is what I understood from the conversation:
- Wergin and Korfhage (WK) have indeed terminated the business.
- There has been no official word on further support for the units.
- The ID integration into Nuendo is very likely not to be expanded beyond current functionality, on the other hand there seem to be no plans from Steinberg’s side to drop support.
- It was said that the WK Audio driver software was not actually coded by WK Audio.
- There is currently a way to “trade-in” your ID if you decide to buy a Nuage System. The amount of deduction will vary with the different WK products. (Up to 3.5k Euros) At the moment this seems to be a limited offer until the end of July.
The Nuage System is way more sophisticated than the ID, integration goes far beyond what can be done with the WK controllers.
