DOES KOMPLETE 11 SELECT COME WITH KONTACKT UPGRADE
We'll see how long it takes this fence to get uncomfortable. Hello, I am hoping to upgrade from Komplete 11 to Komplete 13U. Komplete has more realistic instruments like horns and strings if you need that. If your interest is keyboard and synth sounds, Arturia is the winner.

Going over the full list of everything that is in K13U, it's not hard to justify $250 even without all the synths - there's Action Strikes, the Stradivari Violin, Damage, Mallet Flux. This would be better labeled as Komplete vs V Collection, as Kontakt does not come with other libraries (ones that are in the video) I have both. There's an awful lot there for $250 (that's how they get ya), and I have a retailer that can effectively give me free overnight shipping and no tax on the boxed K13U upgrade, which would save me downloading anything. This is also the upgrade for Maschine Mk3, Maschine Studio, and Komplete Kontrol S-Series owners. That would offset most of the cost of the K13 upgrade, OR, if combined with the $100 upgrade discount on Action Strings 2 (which I'm getting, either way), would offset about ½ of the cost of K13U. Note: Must own Komplete 11 Select or Komplete 12 Select.
If I upgrade from here to anything higher, I can sell the Kontakt license I bought during the summer sale last year (since Select gives me the same upgrade options), probably netting $125-150. Inevitably, though, I'm still on the fence as to whether I'll go further than that before the end of June. It feels like that $200 is better put toward Action Strings 2 than hoarding a whole bunch of things I'm unlikely to use, or that would be "nice to have" but not essential by any means.Ĭlick to expand.OK, the first phase is komplete (see what I did there?): I just purchased the Maschine Factory Library/Komplete Select upgrade. But, Komplete Select is only costing me $25 beyond the price of the Maschine library, so it's not hard to justify.Īnything beyond Select is a huge jump in what is included, but if I'm honest, I don't really care about anything beyond a few of the synths (Massive X, Super8, etc), and I'm not exactly hurting for synths - I have Diva, Hive, Reason 11 Suite, Biotek 2, Waverazor, Collective, Spacecraft, Quantum, Elysion, Elysium, Plasmonic, Chromaphone 3, Friktion, a few Cherry Audio synths, and others I'm probably forgetting.

So taking the cost of the software out of the. On the one hand, all that's really getting me on the Komplete side is Massive (and that's hardly new, but I have a couple things that would make use of it) - there's a lot in Select that is also in Komplete Start or that came with the M32. At the time of writing, if you were to purchase the S61 in the UK it would come in at around £539/695/609 which is a fair chunk of change for a midi controller keyboard until you take into account that it also comes with Native Instruments KOMPLETE 11 SELECT software worth £159.00/179/205. At this point, I think I've pretty much talked myself down to just the Select + Maschine Factory Bundle for $74.50 (primarily due to Jef Gibbons' demonstration of what can be done with Maschine, even without the hardware).
