KVR Audio

Good sleuthing Dave - so looks like the regular version has all the new stuff except for Symphonic Essentials, Emotive Strings and Flesh. I think a lot of current Ultimate owners might go for a regular update, not the ultimate one, if it's the same upgrade price as the 10. The Symphonic Essentials might be useful for those who don't have good orchestral alternatives I guess.

Given all the leaky retailer info, perhaps a launch tomorrow on Aug 1?

Well, it depends on how reduced the Symphony Series is. If a lot of articulations are missing as well as mic positions, this might be pretty useless. A special crossgrade price from K11 Ultimate to the full Symphony Series would be welcome.

Yeah probably nothing but . . . ya' know . . . just a thought

And I'll be upgrading from Ultimate 9 (been waiting patiently) so much more for me to play with

Yep, 9 to 11 is a big step up. 10 to 11? I don't think so. What a pity.

You may have a point there :-/

Version 12 for you then?

Does anyone know if they have offered Ultimate bundles with their Kontrol Series S keyboards. I'm going to be wanting to get the S88 and possibly upgrade to K11 Ultimate....

They had a 100$/€ off of all Kontrol S Series keyboards but the S88 (the S88 was released recently).

And there was the Spring Into Sound promo:

50% on Komplete Crossgrades when purchasing a Komplete Kontrol S keyboard or Maschine.

I've been updating my Komplete Version Comparison chart as info trickles in. I had already taken a stab at what Ultimate would look like, and it looks like the only thing I missed so far was the Symphony Essentials bit. (A lil disappointing...)

I'd be a little surprised if they did any more Komplete discounts before the year's out, but they occasionally do offer Komplete crossgrade discounts for new Komplete/Maschine hardware purchases. If there IS another sale on crossgrades this year it will probably happen over Black Friday weekend. I've been tracking NI's sales history over the past few years...

well..probably tomorrow, we will all know which is included in the update, I guess.

So, it looks like we know what's in Komplete 11 ultimate:

Looks like we get Symphony Series Lite.

I suppose K11 Standard will be offered at a discount to entice buyers.
At full price I will likely pass up K11 unless new Synth FORM is worthwhile using.

I was set on K11 including Kontakt 6 or Absynth 6 so it is a big let down.
Very disappointed but FORM might make the difference. I hope it does.

Orders are being taken:

Komplete 11 for £479.00 = $634.48
Rather expensive.

Don't think the pricing will change much, it was $499 for regular and $999 for ultimate with K10 and K9, AFAIK.

The Komplete 11 for £479.00 probably includes the 18 % VAT

Native Instruments Komplete 11 Ultimate
http://www.thedjshop.co.uk/native-instr ... imate.html
£959.00

When do you see komplete 11 coming out?
