No dongle required for Halion 6.

I got Komplete Select 12 some time ago hoping to upgrade to standard soon. Are we expecting the upgrade (which is 399$ for me) to go on sale during the NI November BF sales?

Unfortunately, no.

Don't think so either. Komplete 12 was released in 2018, and, they didn't have a Black Friday sale on Komplete and upgrades in that year. Probably next year summer sale will be your best bet. I think I'll wait until then as well. Or maybe skip K13 completely, and buy K14 then.

Makes sense. I don't NEED K13, I just really want it. I may get a used K12 upgrade, and wait for the next good deal on updates from NI.

"Analog Pro" by InitialAudio is my favorite. https://initialaudio.com/product/analog-pro/

It's very flexible in that it can approximate various forms of tape, and also has modes for tube saturation, and record crackle. It's on sale for $29 currently, regularly $79 I think.

OK I did some investigations, some versions of Halion 6 do. If you have Halion on a dongle it cannot be transferred to a soft elicensor.

[Dirtgrain]

Oh? My Halion 6 requires no dongle, anyway (Windows PC). I didn't realize there were different versions.

I’m using Halion 6 with no physical dongle.

MIght be a silly question, but I'm just really curious. I posted two deals in the Bargain Center thread the other day, and both got 'thumbs downed', one even more thumbs down than thumbs up. Now I'm simply wondering - why? Those deals weren't posted in the B.C. before. They were not for presets or add-ons. They were no 'down from $4000 to $399' pseudo deals. They were no 'free if you register' deals. They're no Crysonic or W.A. style devs. They're no SynthEdit Win x86 plugins. They're not personal offers 'for my eyes only', but publicly available deals. Neither post contained images or embedded videos or pages of marketing dribble, just the basic facts and links. If someone's not interested in those offers, that's absolutely fine, who cares. But then why give a thumbs down? That's the part that puzzles me. Did I violate some forum rule with those posts? Did I break some 'if it's a flash sale or intro discount, don't post it' rule? Should I have agglomerated them into one combo post? If I see a deal I don't care for, I just scroll on and forget about it. So other than maybe petty personal revenge clicks, I don't see any reason for those thumbs downs. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't care less about some dweeb on the Web thumbs-downing my posts out of spite or attitude, but I'm genuinely curious if anything about my posts violated some sort of rule or code or moral guideline that I didn't know of? Because if it's just a personal distaste, then I can live with that and just not post into the B.C. anymore. But if I actually did something wrong or frowned-upon by posting those deals, then I'd really love to know what it was, in order to avoid it in the future.

[JerGoertz]

One reason I'll thumbs-down a deal is if I think it represents poor value.

[Armagibbon]

Pretty sure it aint personal

[WatchTheGuitar]

The downvoters are a weird bunch.

My advice: Don't worry about it. It's a silly way of basically saying "I don't like you", or "I don't like what you're saying". I don't know why KVR even introduced it. It's a useless forum feature in my eyes.

I appreciate everyone who gives a heads up about any deals, so, ty.

[VariKusBrainZ]

I'm guessing you beat someone else to the post an they're a sulking lil be-atch
