There are few software packages that are as much value as Komplete - look at the price of the 11 instruments that make up this package and add up the prices, you get them for less than half price buying them this way.

Probably the biggest downside to this is how long it takes to install them all and their libraries, but when you see and hear the results it's all worthwhile.

The interfaces have obviously had a lot of effort put into them to make them either look like the instrument they are emulating, or have had a great interface designed for non-emulated instruments. My only criticism here is that sometimes not enough thought was put into how much screen real estate will be taken up by these apps.

I can't really think of anything to say in terms of criticizing the sounds - they all sound great, whether you're looking for digital, analog, high quality or lo-fi.

Documentation isn't lacking either - not only do you get a collection of printed manuals, there is plenty of other information in PDF files that are installed with each instrument.

There are presets galore, with a lot of thought having gone into them. Descriptions of the presets are great too - you get some idea of what they will sound like - something that doesn't always happen with other instruments.

Customer support from NI tends to be a little slow. I haven't really had any need for it with Komplete, but my experience is that you have to be patient with them.

Value for money? Hell yeah! These things work out at less than $100 each and you're getting incredibly high quality for that price!

I've had no problems with stability with any of these. If anything, the versions included in Komplete 5 run leaner than demos of previous versions. NI seems to have done a lot to get these things working as well as they can.

Overall I would recommend this package to anyone. I know it's pricey, but if you have the money you really should invest in this.

Hi All,

This is my first post on KVR, so please bear with me. If I have posted this in the wrong location, please let me know so that I can amend it.

I bought Komplete 13 Ultimate Collector's Edition about 2 years ago & as a new customer, I didn't realise how Native Instruments calculates their upgrades for existing customers.

Since then, I made the mistake of paying almost £700 extra for newly released titles when they were released as I always intended to upgrade to the next version of Komplete on its release. After messaging Native Instruments about this and requesting a revised upgrade price for Komplete 14 Ultimate, I was told that this is not possible and was advised to resell any titles that will be included in Komplete 14 myself.

Anyway, you live and learn.

The instruments and Expansions that I'm looking to sell at a significant discount to the Native Instruments website price are as follows.

Instruments:

Piano Colors.

Sequis.

Playbox.

Glaze.

EXPANSIONS:

Backyard Jams.

Crate Cuts.

Sacred Futures.

Trill Rays.

Electric Touch.

Certified Gold.

Burnt Hues.

MASSIVE X EXPANSIONS:

Bounce.

Haze.

Quest.

I will be selling these on Knobcloud as it is my first time reselling plugins. I don't have any previous history with reselling software and want to ensure protection for me as the seller and reassure prospective buyers that this is a legitimate sale.

Sales of the titles as a bundle will increase the discount, due to the lower fees that I will have to pay.

If anyone is interested in purchasing any of these titles individually or multiples as a bundle, please message me, as it will help to offset the price I will pay to upgrade to Komplete 14 Ultimate. I can then negotiate a price prior to posting the listing on Knobcloud, so that the sale can be processed efficiently and meet the buyer's requirements at an agreed price.

Many thanks in advance.

Hey GrooveDriven, best thing to do is create a post on the Sell & Buy forum.
