jeffincltnc Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Looks like the annual update/upgrade deals at 50% are underway with NI. I'm updating from K12 Ultimate to K13 Ultimate for half price.

Mark Schmieder Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Hah; I auto-deleted that email without reading it, but realizing there might be a bargain in there! I have such a hard time keeping up with what version of Ultimate I'm on anymore! Hmm, I'll have to check to see what has come out since K12 Ultimate Schmultimate (big regret in spending extra for the new top-of-line package, as I don't like what NI did with the GUI's even if I feel the third-party sample companies did a pretty good job in gathering the material -- it's just so hard to use those symphonic libs if one is a fine-grained library tweaker like I am).

Stokely Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I have K12 standard, and while there are certainly things in Ultimate I'd like, I haven't been using my home studio enough period--let alone Komplete--to justify it. If I hadn't gotten Zebra 2 on last year's sale, then maybe.... Doesn't help that I want an HX stomp and new guitar.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffincltnc Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Noire is the big goodie for me. Some of the stuff like Mallet Flux, Pharlight/Straylight/Mysteria, Stradivari violin and the session guitars and Super 8 are just toys and ear candy for fun, but I will play Noire for sure.

Doerfler Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Noire is the big goodie for me. Noire is my go to VST piano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felis Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I just updated. Was long overdue. I'm going to have to get an external hard drive for my laptop for all the libraries and stuff though. Got a 1Tb secondary drive in my desktop, but the laptop is getting pretty full, so I'm going to have to be a bit selective until I get more space.

drawback Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Does Full Kontakt ever go on sale? It"s regular price on their website. Quote ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doerfler Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I purchased Kontakt at 50 % off Black Friday sale 2016. Don't know if the venture capital firms that own NI now allow them to do this anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursers Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Just upgraded to standard version 13 from 12 - not that much new but taking advantage of the price Quote The Keyboard Chronicles Podcast Check out your fellow forumites in an Apple Music playlist Check out your fellow forumites in a Spotify playlist My Music: Stainless Fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Schmieder Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I went through the list of new stuff, listened to audio demos, and have exactly zero interest in anything added in K13 vs. K12. Even stranger, hardly anything has been released since K13, so will there even be a K14 -- especially with so little to add to the mix?

obxa Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 NI used to offer an upgrade path to full Kontakt if you had any registered libraries, you have to look under "special offers" in your account and it will tell you. I think I qualified through Sound iron's Emotional Piano, or some Spitfire stuff. Got it during one of the Black Friday deals. Emo piano is still a great library, but there is something very special about Noire. I upgraded to full Kontakt just for that. I've never been all that Krazy about the other stuff that's in Komplete. Quote Chris Corso www.chriscorso.org Lots of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokely Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Does Full Kontakt ever go on sale? It"s regular price on their website. My path to getting Komplete 12 on sale was to get Komplete 12 Select on sale, then wait for an upgrade sale to go from Select to full Kontakt. it took a while as they didn't/don't do product and upgrade sales at the same time of year, but it did end up saving me several hundred dollars.
