NI: Kontakt 3, massive price reductions on synths

check out the NI site - Kontakt 3 almost out - 33 gig library, many product improvements

New synth collection - Absynth, Massive, FM8, Pro-53: List/full price $450. Wha!??!!? (I assume this means street price around $375-400, unbelievable).

Yeah this is cool!

And it looks like its just $149 if you have Kontakt 1 or 2.

Nice updates on other stuff like Guitar Rig 3 too. Nice deals all around, looks like.

The new synth collection is an awesome compilation. Good thinking on their part.

That is a heck of a package -- where is that guy who was about to buy massive????

ON EDIT -- I pm'd him

I hope they offer some kind of upgrade to this if you already own one or two of these (like me

)

Komplete 4 to 5 is only $229, which combined with the $170 that I just paid to upgrade from 3 to 4 "during the summer of sound" is still $50 less than the $449 from 3 to 5.

Many beers. Am I making sense?

= saving $50.

Here! Here!

Thanks for the PM! This is an amazing situation - my credit card wouldn't approve for the online purchase of Massive, and I have never, ever been so happy for a credit decline before. This package is "it", I can't believe it. Absynth, FM8, and Massive for $400, with Pro-53 thrown in (not too interested in that one, but hey whatever). I am so buying this package.

N.I. states on their website that for customers who upgraded to Komplete 4 during the recent "summer of sound" sale will be receiving a e-coupon in the near future that will allow the Komplete 5 update to be purchased at a greatly reduced price from the $229. So...if you want to go from 4 to 5, I would hold off for a bit until we see what that coupon will say.

Got my upgrade ordered... even had an old Komplete Card 2006 $180 coupon hiding in the wings - Komplete 5 ends up costing me $49. Party time!!

Oh then this is so tasty indeed. Wow! Can't wait to get that coupon, I'll look on their site in a second to see if I can see any details.

I am so glad that I waited to upgrade.

Hey, can I run massive by itself on a Powerbook 1.5GHz or will it totally choke it? I'm asking because I'm not upgrading computers for some time and it'll give me a reason to integrate the PB into my G5 setup so that I really look like the Wizard of Oz...

Or Dark Helmet.

I can't find any mention of upgrade paths for Komplete 3 owners..maybe there aren't any?

Actually the only one I'm interested in is Kontakt3. I wonder if it works...

GuitarRig3's new cabinets look suspiciously like Amplitube2 cabinets, except not as cool. They even have the "air" slider like Amp2 cabs. Hmmm...

Man, I haven't even installed K4 yet. Yes, I went for the K3 to K4 Summer Of Sound update, but now all this...

(Not that I'm complaining ... Can't wait to check out Kontakt 3. Finally I don't have to rebuild the library manually!)

The question is: do I even bother installing Komplete 4, or can I just go straight to Komplete 5?

I know like at least a half dozen folks who wish that they had that problem.

Heh-heh... I guess, gearboy, in the grand scheme of things there are worse dilemmas.

You might want to install K4 for Spektral Delay and Vokator as it looks like they removed that from the Komplete 5 package.
