Fleer Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 And it’s the reason why I’ll update to the next KU CE when there’s a sale. More stuff to fill the void. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie Foster Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I do use the Kontakt instruments. Mostly the ones that come with Ultimate, not the ones that come with standard Komplete. So Ultimate was probably worth it. And at half price, KU13 CE is probably worth it to me...... I've been waiting for Noire for a while..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never used anything else than Kontakt. Yeh, pretty true. I do use the drums. I really like the AR 50's. They do have their main engines like Kontakt and GRig. I would like to see them make a new drums "container engine". They could make all the FX available in it too with maybe some midi song building. They bought Loop Loft didn't they? Pretty hard to go past EZ Drummer and Sup3 to open up NI drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Looking forward to Noire. But am I going to use it? Edith knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good SSD space isn't free and needs to be considered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassDaddy Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 To be honest Noire is a good enough name to make me want it no matter what it is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you just get the updated product versions (Kontakt, Reaktor) or anything not in your version of KU that would otherwise be in the regular Komplete? You don't lose anything but gain updates or things that are new to regular Komplete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antler Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 The 'You Save' bit almost looks like a PA subscription sales pitch 😜 On a slightly more serious note, do the instruments tend to move into the 'lesser' editions as they get older? e.g. ARKHIS is only in CE - if we wait long enough, might it eventually get included in Ultimate (and then Standard after even more time)? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There usually is a few new plugins and sometimes an update on Reaktor or something. I think you get extra serial numbers of the things you have but its been a while and I don't recall right now.

Haven't seen that happen yet. The Ultimate items haven't yet showed up in the standard edition. I'm thinking it will be the same for the CE stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Scarbee Rick Bass was only in the Ultimate version, but is now in Standard. Cuba was in 12 Ultimate but not Standard, now in 13. Same with the Sunburst guitar. Same with Crush Pack. But, there's a lot of stuff that's been around for a while that hasn't found its way down, such as most of the AR Drums and Scarbee Basses, as well as the reverbs and compressors (although cheat mode: they seem to be available in GR6).

I think I opened Massive X once. Same with Massive. I don't use any of the expansions. How do they even work? The bundles contain a bunch of loops and presets for Massive, Prism, Monark, and Battery. I assume if you have Maschine it's easy to work with these. If, like me, you don't have Maschine you could browse through the content with Komplete Kontrol instead. I don't typically use Komplete Kontrol in my DAW for most things. Maybe Pianos and EPs (especially since Lounge Lizard is NKS compatible), but usually not for synths. If I want to use any of these presets in the synths they are made for, I have to copy them from where the expansions are stored and into the user directories for the given synths.
