I am thinking about getting Kontakt 5 on Black Friday,... maybe (?)

I know about Ivy Audio, and that Spitfire Audio have some good Kontakt libraries too, even for as low as $3.

But, what are your top 5 Kontakt 5 libraries that are reasonably priced ?

Wot sort of instruments do you like?

Wot's your upper limit to reasonably priced?

All kinds, but perhaps in this order for me: orchestral, cinematic, ethnic, guitars, keys etc.
Reasonably price could be from $5 to anything around $35 or thereabouts.

Rather like this one - £6 + VAT at Kontakt Hub. Good for cinematic touches or old techstep dnb pads if you're of that disposition

Possibly more ambient than cinematic but damn luscious is this one (got this one on my wish list at present) - £20.85 + VAT (Kontakt Hub again).

Thanks shonks. I didn't know there was a Kontakt Hub. Thats a great resource that might push me over the line to buy Kontakt on Black Friday. I can get a good crossgrade price then.

I might be wrong but I think the crossgrade/upgrade sale was a few months back, not sure if that's included in the NI Black Friday sale (hopefully for you it is). If not, some companies giveaway free Kontakt Player libraries which mean you then get a discount on Kontakt and an extra 50% on the crossgrade (so I ended up getting Kontakt for £104) but had to wait 8 months for the opportunity.

Was thinking another one I fancy nabbing is the Straight Ahead Bass (love jazz upright but most seem to be more classically-aimed or not that convincing but this one is reet nice

I downloaded Drumica and that entitles me to the Crossgrade price, currently at $249. With the sale on that drops to $124.
Are you saying there's a way of getting Kontakt5 cheaper than that?

I think that $124 is roughly equivalent to £104, possibly a bit less so you'll probably get it a bit cheaper than me.
