smallstonefan 448 Posted June 1, 2022 I'm on Komplete 10 Ultimate - I think it might be time to upgrade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smallstonefan 448 Posted June 1, 2022 I have some individual instruments that are part of Komplete. For example, I have Mallet Flux. If I upgrade my K10U to K13U and get Mallet Flux, can I sell the individual instrument that I have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smallstonefan 448 Posted June 1, 2022 Thanks Larry - this makes the upgrade a true no-brainer. 🤘 Do you think Best Service is the best price we'll see? I can't image it going much lower... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smallstonefan 448 Posted June 1, 2022 I bit - went from Ultimate 10 to Ultimate Collectors Edition. It seems like waiting a few years for me makes the upgrade worthwhile. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrie 373 Posted June 1, 2022 The best place used to be Time+Space for NI upgrades in my experience. Too bad they are now gone 😞 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magic Russ 852 Posted June 1, 2022 If they hold to their past release patterns Komplete 14 is coming out in September/October. Of course with the mergers that may not be a given. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cclarry 31,972 Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Also this: HALF-PRICE INSTRUMENT UPGRADES Been eyeing up KONTAKT 6, GUITAR RIG 6 PRO, or MASSIVE X? Upgrade from an earlier version of any of our instruments and effects, and get 50% off. https://www.native-instruments.com/en/catalog/summer-of-sound-2022/instruments-effects-upd-upg/ Edited June 2, 2022 by cclarry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad Penguin 237 Posted June 2, 2022 Only 12 more months to go (hopefully) for 50% upgrade to K14U, and 36 months for 50% upgrade to K15UCE ! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Blanc 827 Posted June 2, 2022 And here I am, thinking "oh crap, now I have to buy this one like I always do, whilst I am in the middle of saving up for some hardware and not buying plugins". Went through my account, seems like I already have my desired K13 (Ultimate). Pfew, I would like to thank myself for saving myself from buying something for myself which I myself already bought for myself. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's always about you, isn't it???😜 All seriousness aside, what you have shared is a total win! One that I will share in, if only vicariously. I too bought into the Komplete ecosystem a couple of years ago, but I have no recollection if it was Ultimate 12 or Penultimate 11 or Deluxe Penultimate 13 Lite SE. All I know is, I have a crapton of NI instruments and effects now, some of which are killer, and 80% are bloatware that never get used. If you are just starting out in the game, Komplete is awesome! Especially Kontakt now at 199, that's a no brainer methinks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fleer 10,796 Posted June 2, 2022 I still have my unregistered KU13CE lying around. Think I’ll wait until the grace period to register and get 14 for free. We’re very close. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fret_man 478 Posted June 9, 2022 Still waiting to see Jrrshop's pricing. Not seeing it yet. Could they not be participating in this sale? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thomann has the best prices...but only shipped product, so Best Service becomes the Best Price, because they are downloadable, and you get Best Coins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antler 1,795 Posted June 9, 2022 Worth considering the drive even if you only plan to download - I've repurposed some of my older versions as backups, e.g. for IK sound files Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
