BTP Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I wonder how much it'll be next month. FYI Kontakt 7 doesn't replace Kontakt 6 so you can't automatically continue working on old projects using Kontakt 7. It's a new VST. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon new libraries will require v7. Once you find one that you want, you'll get caught into the marketing spin.

aidan o driscoll Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) So to upgrade from KOMPLETE 13 to 14 is €199 which includes Kontakt 7 .. While to upgrade to just Kontakt 7 is €99 .... mmmmmm Edited October 6, 2022 by aidan o driscoll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a deal on Komplete 13 last year and have left half of it uninstalled. Just wanted a few of the instruments. Don't see anything except for K7 that I care for in Komplete 14. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abacab Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Do folks really use everything in the KCE? If so, what's the main attraction over and above the Standard edition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, what's the main attraction over and above the Standard edition? I suppose it's just because you get much more content and the price difference isn't always that much. Last time I went from K12 ultimate to K13 CE. That gave me quite a few extra bits that I wouldn't have got from K13 ultimate. The Cremona strings for example, which are excellent. You can do a compare on the various versions on the NI website. This time I don't see a huge amount that I want in K14 CE so I'm happy to wait for the upgrade price to be much more attractive.

Fleer Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Yep. Cremona Strings made KU13CE worthwhile. Omnia Choir and Ashlight don’t do as much for KU14CE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for me. Cremona Strings are top-notch, and going from 11U to 13CE was a pretty nice upgrade. 14CE doesn't thrill me. I am indifferent to Ashlight, and while Choir Omnia looks pretty nice, I've already got a half-dozen choir libraries I don't use (and a few that I do), including most of George Strezov's. So I don't see a real advantage to having this one -- at least, not $700 worth of advantage, anyway. Edited October 7, 2022 by Amicus717 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any purpose-built library will outperform a factory patch in a hundred different ways, but for a general purpose tool, the new Factory 2 patches are well-made and sound pretty good. And they are 100% a long-overdue upgrade to the original Factory library. The difference is pretty big, to my ears. They have the kind of strengths and limitations you'd expect: not a huge amount of detail or flexibility, but quality samples and easy-to-run scripting. I'd use the Factory 2 library for doing fast sketches on my laptop any day, and I probably will. They're perfect for that role.
