Sander Verstraten Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Native Access v2 exists. It supposed be just for Komplete Now users. But I could download and install it without issue, and it seems to be a little bit more user friendly. https://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/native-access-2/ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locrian Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Overall a nice improvement over V1, but still no option in Settings to specify plugin type (say VST2 vs. VST3) to prevent the Repair error from constantly showing up. The Repair function needs some repair when you use the relocate option; even when you take it to the correct folder it does not accept it. Part of the problem is that NA V2 does not tell you what the specific problem is (you have to guess from the last folder location). Not sure why it's so difficult to get this working correctly. Just noticed that after the initial installation, it seems to re-reun the installation process every subsequent time you use it. This is a real PITA; esp since it uninstalled version 1 (fortunately I have a backup). One step forward, two steps back...

TheSteven Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Looks like v2 is to support their subscription mode - see left side menu, item under Library. and here (link below) is NA's subscription page. Service is called KOMPLETE-NOW (yup ,spelled all in caps) : https://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/komplete/komplete-now/ $9.99 a month 100% not interested but YMMV.

Fleer Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Dang. Subscription. Smells like WUP. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteven Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 and the subscription looks like a lite variation of Komplete Select. You only get a partial subset of that library (with a couple different items included) but every month they will add something new. I guess that way they can probably string you along for several years before they run through the current content. Like Adobe once your subscription ends you own nothing*. *I could be wrong but that's how I'm interpreting the following quote from their KOMPLETE-NOW web page: Quote What happens if I cancel? + If you cancel during the trial period, you won’t be charged. There’s no commitment and you can cancel any time. Once your paid subscription starts, you’re still free to cancel whenever you want. Since you’ll always pay in advance, your subscription will continue to be active until the current billing period expires. Trials will also continue to work until the current cycle expires.

Re: WUP - I always thought BARF would be a better acronym (Basic Audio Renewal Financing) and it would match the taste left in your mouth after making a payment.

Magic Russ Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Be warned that this does not pick up the installation paths you have set up from version 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
