With regards to the current iZotope upgrade sale for Neutron 3, can you sell a the suite/plugin that was used to upgrade in the future? So if you have MPS2 and upgrade to MPS2.1, can you sell MPS2 later on? With the way that upgrades work with iZotope, it doesn't look like they have a good handle on what you own.

(In my case I own MPS2 and PPS3 and I don't even see any upgrades to Neutron 3, only the older versions of MPS1 and crossgrades. I could crossgrade from PPS3 to MPS2.1 for $99 once iZotope fixes my account to have the proper upgrade paths and then sell MPS2 without any issues, but thought I ask anyway.)

Hurray for 2000 pages, not so much for my pocket book though

Hi guys !

Noticed NI launched their summer sales.

I'm visually impaired and their site is a bit confusing for me.

What I'd like to ask you guys is - how / where can I get hold on Kontakt - for lowest possible price ?

Kontakt 6 is at half price (until the end of June) if you upgrade or crossgrade:
€/$49 to upgrade from an earlier version of Kontakt;
€/$125 to crossgrade from a selection of (Kontakt Player) libraries, depending on what you have.
Won’t be found much lower elsewhere than at NI’s own site.
If you can’t upgrade or crossgrade (yet) you’d better have a look at their bundles and buy or upgrade wisely. It’s a maze, but there’s some logic to the madness.

$99 for an upgrade from MPS2 to 2.1?

Might hold out for MPS3 lol

You're basically paying $99 for Neutron 3 Advanced.

Hadn't realized Neutron 3 was out... hmm.

I noticed yesterday that Ableton put their DAWs on sale. 25% off. Darn, just after I pulled trigger on Cubase Pro. I think there was only 33% off I have seen in the past that was better.

I logged in to my NI account to see if I'm eligible. It says Kontakt 6 would cost me 399 EUR. Is that supposed to be half price ?

It seems highly unlikely that they would intentionally allow that as I'm not aware of any company that would do so.
As for loopholes, no idea.

Did you add it to your cart to see upgrade /crossgrade prices?

I mentioned it earlier, download and register the free Sennheiser Drum Mic‘a if you really absolutely only want KONTAKT. Usually, deals for KOMPLETE are just too good to ignore.

It seems, that in stead if halving the price, NI has doubled the price for you. You must have done something really bad...

I was under the impression that NI had stopped Drum Mic‘a being eligible for updates/upgrades a while ago ???

Not sure about iZotope, but it's not unheard of for companies to allow that. For example, Toontrack allowed me to sell off SD2 once I upgraded to SD3.

DrumMic’a! ist ein virtuelles Schlagzeug auf Basis des KONTAKT Freeware Sample Players von Native Instruments. Der KONTAKT Freeware Sample Player ist upgradefähig auf die KONTAKT Vollversion: Beim LogIn in den Native Instruments Webshop mit derselben eMail-Adresse, die für die Registrierung von DrumMic’a! verwendet wurde, wird automatisch die bestmögliche Option vorgeschlagen

[medienhexer]

Ignore the rest in my native tongue

A while ago, somebody claimed that NI had removed Drum Mic'a from the list of products that would allow you to cross grade to the full version Kontakt. But that was in fact incorrect. NI still lists it as eligible for the cross grade.

Is UPGRADEFÄHIG really a German word?
