Short version - all the sales that happen before a new version is released ended yesterday, it's been 2 years since K13 and it's never been a longer gap than this.

I’m expecting announcements on Kontakt 7, a crossover with the X-Men and Elvis riding the Loch Ness monster.

It lists Kontakt 7, some of the newer NI products have been added, along with just a few PA and iZotope products sprinkled in: LO-FI-AF, Crispytuner, Oberhausen, and Ozone 10 Standard. About what you would expect, nothing crazy.

EDIT: It also says "pre-order" and it's not clear when it will be available, as far as I can see.

And in my case, nothing to justify the update price for Ultimate.

I see they are now including the ozone and PA stuff I already own…good deal for new users I guess but I wonder if there will be any discount for those of us who already own the 3rd party stuff? If not I guess there will be a flood of cheap licences for Ozone 10 etc!

Definitely not upgrading Ultimate if this is it, at just upgrade Kontakt if it’s a real upgrade this time (not like 6)

And there it is! Pretty much as expected, though Omnia (symphonic choir?) is new for Ultimate.

Dooesn’t look like there’s anything new specific to Collector’s Edition:

It seems thats it i mean i dont expect any surprises with new products now. With all the merging of izorope etc to include their products and pa etc it just doesnt feel like a NI komplete package but a collection with 3rd party stuff additionally. NI themselves doesnt release much interesting stuff themselves it feels like a trash can filled with some rests to fill the new version lol.

Just feels not quality anymore but just fillers

To even call it kontakt 7 is laughable. Maybe next year or in 2 years it is kontakt 8 etc

Wow, I'm pretty underwhelmed with CE. Already own the PA stuff, and want nothing to do with ozone.

LoveEnigma18 · Post by **LoveEnigma18** » Wed Sep 07, 2022 8:48 am

The announcement on NI website should only take a few hours now. Ozone 10 Standard is included with all but Select.

So, they did mix the Soundwide partners stuff in Komplete!

K14U CE looks indeed underwhelming, especially for K13U CE owners.

In general, everything seems to be more geared towards new users/buyers than existing users.

Lores is new for CE only which is disappointing but not a surprise.
The choir is mentioned in Ultimate but not in the list of instruments.
CE also has Knifonium and other PA gear not in Ultimate.

While the site mentions Omnia on the Ultimate page, surprisingly, it is not listed in the products list section for Ultimate, so it remains to be seen if it will be CE exclusive.

Good spot on Lores agharta - yes, CE exclusive - and as you say Enigma, Omnia is, um, confusing.

Can’t see a list of the Brainworx stuff - just a general reference?

I’m sure NI will update officially today, and we’ll also see iZotope tie-in with Ozone and RX10 (the latter is a bust, we already know).

Or am I blind?
