Zip file seems to install but that doesn't show up anywhere. Besides shouldn't there be a serial for Ozone? I kinda regret upgrading because of a lot of Soundpaint type bloat. The session guitars seem worth it. The session series is the only reason I ever do the upgrades. They are awesome. I have so many other sounds and synths and high quality symphonic libraries than I know what to do with, so there's not much reason to consider upgrading for the other stuff. However, offering useful tools like Ozone is a smart move and should give people another reason to upgrade. I just barely bought Ozone earlier this year and had I known it would be in the upgrade I would have waited and put my $100 towards this upgrade instead of Ozone. Doh! There's always something to feel screwed about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spice3d Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I'm just not convinced I should upgrade from 13 standard. Maybe Kontakt 7 tips the scales, but I dunno. I always cringe whenever I see a new instrument and see it requires Kontakt...particularly the "full version" LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I’m thinking it may still take a while before Kontakt 7 will be required for most new libraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTsongwriter Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I could get Komplete 14 Update for $90 or Reaktor 6 update for $50. Uhmm... I know it's not on y'all's list for Reaktor,but from what I gather, I can recreate Shaperbox effects using Reaktor and a bunch of other plugin effects that I would normally buy, but could build using Reaktor. There only thing that's halting me is that Reaktor isn't multicore and it doesn't report PDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTsongwriter Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I wonder if I must install all of Komplete 14 or can I just install the stuff that I want, cause I'm getting really low on NVMe space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTsongwriter Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I plan to update once everyone can confirm that Best Service is working better or if I should choose to just cough up the extra $9 I would be saving and just buy it from Native themselves?

jesse g Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I have KU13, but I added K14 standard for the update price of $ 99.50, so with that purchase, I got the following. Full version of Kontakt 7 (This is what I wanted, but I get more know for the price). Playbox Session Guitarist - Electric Sunburst Session Bassist - Prime Bass Super 8 Session Guitarist - Electric Mint 40's Very Own - Keys 40's Very Own - Drums Expansion - Backyard Jams Expansion - Neo Boogie Empire Breaks Expansion - Bumpin Flava Deft Lines Ignition Keys Expansion - Body Mechanik Stacks Melted Vibes Massive X Expansion - Charge Massive X Expansion - Our House Massive X Expansion - Wake Massive X Expansion - Bump Massive X Expansion - Haze Massive X Expansion - Quest Massive X Expansion - Kino Massive X Expansion - Beam Massive X Expansion - Fade Massive X Expansion - Bounce **Just getting Session Bassist - Prime Bass is $99.00 by itself. I get to keep everything from KU13 plus add the stuff from K14 standard, now that's a bargain. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Russ Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I definitely agree that it still is a bargain to get the update for $99 as opposed to just Kontakt for $49. There is an awful lot that is included that I have already used. However, I think the Play series tends towards filler. I also think the expansions are as much trouble as they are worth if you don't have Maschine. It's nice that they throw in presets for Battery, Massive, and whichever, but they don't install them in a directory where any of those programs normally look for presets. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecode 101 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 In my case, I am only interested in Kontakt 7 and Guitar Rig 6. My upgrade price to K14U is around $250. If I just upgrade the items I want, its around $120. One of the new Kontakt libs I got, the Kareem Riggins uses uses K7. I run it through player.

Nick Blanc Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I hate either Native Instruments, Behringer or Myself. NI do their sale so I HAVE to upgrade. And then I'm stupid enough to accompany that purchase with a purchase of a Maschine controller. Now Behringer comes along and FINALLY releases the Edge. I've been waiting for that one for a couple of years. So that is an instant buy. I'll be eating instant noodles for a month. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno de Souza Lino Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I hope NI takes a page of she's book and releases a "legacy" version of their stuff that comes with the old logos instead of whatever they decided to vomit recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
