I haven't seen  SSS below ~$85 and I don't think I will. Competing on price doesn't seem to be their strategy. Good for them. I do enjoy their fruit shaker though. 

SSS was on sale w/ the expansion for $99 not that long ago, probably will be again during BF or the following holidays.

For me that was the freebie of the season I missed .

Again, you are most likely relatively new to this "VI" thing, so not surprising
that you don't know the "tell tale" signs of a Kontakt GUI...

If you look at the pic in my OP, the "Wrench" button on the top left, the 
"rounded rectangle" with the Instrument info, and everything on the 
top are  ALL Kontakt Instrument features, so, just seeing the GUI tells you,
when you see a VI, that it's for Kontakt.   Were there is a difference is
in whether or not it will work in the FREE Kontakt Player, or whether
it requires the FULL version of Kontakt!  Most will require the FULL 
Version, as the dev has to pay a substantial fee to NI to allow use in
the FREE Kontakt Player...

So, NOW you know

Don't you think your jumping to conclusion that I'm new to virtual instruments is a bit unwarranted simply on the basis that I'm not familiar with a particular GUI which I've already explicitly mentioned not to use? You speak of the Kontakt GUI like being familiar with it was an indicator of level of literacy even with someone who specifically does not use them, at all.

I already know about the difference between the Full and Free Kontakt versions because the inequality has been made very clear in text on various product pages. The GUI elements however are not always visible [enough] that I would've picked up on them simply by ending up on the pages, and my first instinct is to search for the text "Kontakt" and not inspect in detail screenshots of a product that I probably won't be using.

In this thread we have two people who don't use Kontakt and out of that admittedly small sample size 100% didn't recognize Kontakt from visual cues. Maybe instead of ranting at length about how they should [recognize software they don't use], you might as well stop to think that maybe Kontakt is not as relevant outside the Kontakt bubble as you think, and adjust accordingly. Worth noting also; if the dependence on Kontakt had been made more clear on every ad/commercial/link, I'd have had even less chance at figuring out the visual cues, in light of which your arguing for our VI-illiteracy makes little sense. I also have AD/HD so even if I saw those GUI elements a thousand times, I might notice them only one or two times, because even when they are shown there are a million other little knobs, buttons and faders, not to mention the decorative graphics, in all the colors of the rainbow, competing for my attention.

But now I do know indeed, so thank you for actually answering the question.

Happy to answer the question for you nonetheless...and I'm not "ranting"...I'm EXPLAINING.

Still, sarine posting in a Sharine thread, what are the odds?
