Reid Rosefelt Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) $149. $49 for upgrade. Essentially this has everything that the original Electric Sunburst has plus a second, playable lead guitar melodic instrument, additional patterns, and a full set of pedals, including Replika and a lot of stuff derived from the Modpack series--chorus, flanger, phaser, etc. Lots of sound presets, a la OTS guitars. It has 237 patterns and 51 songs. The original had 154 patterns One thing they don't mention in the video is that it has all the cool voicings from Picked Acoustic, which is my favorite thing about that VI.

I own and like the original and it does show an upgrade price of £44 (whatever that in your native currency) and full price of £129. Think I will go for it. Shame I don't have any e-voucher for once although it would probably be excluded if I did! Edited March 16, 2020 by ZincT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's $49 for an upgrade, but it says "None of the qualifying products are registered to your account " Maybe having Komplete 12 Ultimate doesn't count? You need to buy Electric Sunburst by itself. I'm going to check in with them, because I would get it for $49, but otherwise I will wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought Electric Sunburst along with Picked Acoustic at Christmas but I have also just tried to do the upgrade and got the same "None of the qualifying products are registered to your account ". I checked my account and Electric Sunburst is registered so it must be a mistake. I will also contact support.

I couldn't create a ticket for Support (I kept going around in circles) so I went on the forum. They have a post announcing it, so I put my comment in there. Why don't you do the same? Thanks! If you haven't used the NI forum before, you need to set up a separate password from the regular NI one.

If you haven't used the NI forum before, you need to set up a separate password from the regular NI one. Thanks Reid! Strangely I just tried it again and for some reason when I selected "Upgrade" from the dropdown it logged me out so I then had to log back in at which point I got the message "As an owner of Session Guitarist - Electric Sunburst you qualify to install and activate this version." So it worked in the end. Might be worth retrying as I assume that it should work for you also (as you get Electric Sunburst with K12U).

bjornpdx Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I clicked on the Buy button then selected the Upgrade option, then logged in and got the same message ZincT got above. "As an owner of Session Guitarist - Electric Sunburst you qualify to install and activate this version. " Which means I got the $49 price. I bought Session Guitarist separately about a year ago since it wasn't part of the Komplete version I have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Rosefelt Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Yes, it works for me now too. 😁 Purchased and can't wait to download! Edited March 16, 2020 by Reid Rosefelt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Here's a quick demo using the melody instrument of Session Guitarist - Electric Sunburst Deluxe to play the guitar part... https://soundclick.com/r/s8c915 (It's the opening of a Porcupine Tree song I'm learning to play).

Reid Rosefelt Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Very frustrating. After several tries, I still can't make the thing work. I have no issues making Native Access install other libraries. Anybody have any ideas for me? Never mind! The answer was to update to the latest version of Kontakt. I wasted all this time making the video! Anyway, for all of you, this won't work unless you have Kontakt 6.2.2.

John Maar Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I'm still on K9U, so no upgrade pricing for me. Will have to wait until I finally upgrade to the current version of Ultimate. I bought the Kontakt 6 upgrade, so it may be a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be some great deals on it from Time+Space and other dealers. But the best deal will be half price in the summer of 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan o driscoll Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Does the deluxe version allow you to turn off the pattern generator to play a note as it sounds? I have the original version - is deluxe in general worth the upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the original version - is deluxe in general worth the upgrade? It does. It has single note multisamples. It doesn't have anywhere near the detail of an Orange Tree Samples guitar library, but if you're not looking for that level of realism, it's okay. I find the rhythm pattern player/engine useful for ready to go, no fuss simple strumming patterns. If I'm just starting to work on recording something and say a basic 8th note based strumming pattern will help the song feel more full, it can be really helpful. I can do the same patterns and a lot more with Evolution, but there's a lot less presets and creating a new one takes a little time -- and when I'm feeling inspired, those minutes are significant to me. So when I'm just looking to put in a basic, ready to go pattern, Session Guitarist is as simple as it gets. But because the rhythm pattern player is mainly just a loop player, you really have extremely limited options to make any adjustments to a prerecorded loop strumming pattern. But the realism of the single guitar notes in the Deluxe version doesn't compare to the Evolution libraries. I have owned the Deluxe since it came out and I basically never use the single string multisamples for anything but filling in rhythm parts, not for leads. Also, the Deluxe version gives you additional rhythm patterns, so you may find it's worth it for that alone.

aidan o driscoll Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Thanks @PavlovsCat .. I am a guitarist, so you might wonder WHY would I need a guitar instrument plugin? First out just because ... and to learn one. Main reason though is to have a decent enough alt guitar instrument for trying ideas when on my laptop and not in my music room. And also I reckon one could use it as a reverse ideas machine where one might come up with something you might never think of on guitar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But considering that you're just using this for ideas and not final production, then I'd say then I'd be more inclined to think this could be really good for you -- having the strumming patterns and single notes in one library. So considering that, I bet you'd like it. Also, I've heard your music in the past and really liked it. (My late mother was a very talented musician and music teacher and always told me that whenever you hear or play with another musician that you think is talented, don't hold back -- tell them that, it can mean more to them than you realize. I know that was true of me back when I had talent and now when I don't!). Edited August 14, 2023 by PavlovsCat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
