cclarry Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 They've recently moved Ark 1 away from Kontakt and made it available to their SINE player, with an intro price of €399 (Kontakt Version works on the Player and is also on sale, but it looks like they're moving away from it so will not be updated any longer). Anyone already with Ark 1 is eligible to upgrade to the SINE Version for free. Ends 31st May 2020. https://www.orchestraltools.com/store/collections/39?fbclid=IwAR0b0tROoK_MYALT5XZ2b4kRFouNvVy5QSHk8nAtA7YwfDPjB6Gu-_SaUBY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husker Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 So I wonder how you get the Sine version for free if you got Ark 1 with the Native Instruments promo last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Sorrels Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 My Native Access serial number for Ark I worked just fine. But some user's have reported that the App shows a different number than the NI website. The only problem with using the number from the app is you can't copy it. I had to type it by hand. Looks like from now on if you buy the Kontakt you have to pay a fee to get the Sine version also, but purchases before May 13 it's included. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you don't lose access to the Kontakt version somehow? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can keep the Kontakt version installed but the Sine versions are separate & will need to be downloaded via the Sine app. In other words you can't use the Sine player to load the Kontakt libraries. You can however load both Sine & Kontakt version instances in a project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husker Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't lose the Kontakt long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Symmetry Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) That is how it's currently working for me. Importing the license into the SINE app didn't affect the Kontakt versions. They're co-existing. Of course NI might change that policy in the future. I'm guessing the Kontakt versions will no longer be updated & OT moves to Sine exclusively.

husker Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Got everything downloaded and working. Wish Sine had a manual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
