Native instruments summer of sound is here

I read that I can get Kontakt 7 as a crossgrade for $99.50 so
I just may have to finally buy it.

But then, I can get Reaktor for that same price...decisions.. decisions

Bought my update from Best Service. I thought a NI voucher and a PA plugin for 29 voucher was included with the standard update? Can anyone confirm this?

I got my PA voucher a day later. It's $20 off on any plugin.

a question: Can you have both versions of Massive? (Massive and Massive X) I bought Massive as a standalone, but I also have Komplete, but not the latest one. Asking because it let me keep Reaktor 5, but I can use Reaktor 6 , but as a player.

[aMUSEd]

Yes

Already had 2 crashes with Kontakt 7 today. Kontakt 6 had been solid as a rock for me before this.

[Kalamata Kid]

Part of the reason I plan to update from K12 Regular to K14 Regular is the new Kontakt 7.
I had crashes with HG Sounds and Kontakt 6 and am hoping that Kontakt 7 will help prevent the crashes.

Really love HG Sounds so let me ask is it likely that Kontakt 7 will fix the crashes?

Got an upgrade to Komplete Select to Standard for £180. I still have 2 unregistered copies of Komplete Select sitting in my account, I think now might be the time for me to sell them while they’re running the sale…

[kuniklo]

Now that they've finally ported more of their stuff over to Apple Silicon I'm actually more inclined to spend the $99 to upgrade than I've been in years.

I finally went ahead and bought K14 Ultimate. I think it's a great sale.

I’m up in the air about talking the $100 deal to go from standard to standard and moving to the Ultimate version. Is it worth it?

If you like sample based Kontakt instruments and Machine Packs...tit's a lot of 'stuff' but personally I haven't found much use for it and when I moved to a new computer 6 months ago I didn't even bother instaling 70% of 13U (but I guess I always can if I studently get asked to score a movie!)

I looked into it and it did make sense. I’m scoring a game this year and it will definitely come in handy.

I'm torn between Kontour or Razor. I might get both.

Totally get both!

And Reaktor...

Yes, they are totally different synths. Definitely not really a Massive 2, but something different - more of a very late answer to Serum.

Your products all remain in your account. If you have a qualifying product for a future upgrade in your account you can upgrade . I show Komplete Ultimate 12 CE, Komplete 14 Standard and every incremental upgrade or update I purchased going back to Komplete 5. I have upgraded selectively over the years without any issue. I suppose that NI could change how things work in the future. There would be one hell of a backlash if they did.

The new downgrade option is very interesting but I have a question about it: if I get the "downgrade" let's say from Ultimate 13 to Standard 14, will I still be able in the future to upgrade my Ultimate 13 to Ultimate 15 or will I be demoted to Standard grade and be only able to upgrade from Standard 14 to Ultimate 15 in case?

Thanks,
Mario

That makes a lot of sense, thank you.

I've been wondering for the past few years if maybe I have just been automatically dismissing the included content and buying third party libraires and synths when really I might be better off financially if I explored the NI content in a bit more depth. That is my taks for the next few weeks - seeing just how much Komplete gets me without third party similars. I know for instance that I have Falcon libraries that I use where I probably wouldnt use the same level content if it came from NI.
