KVR Audio

Something is wrong about their "What's new" page... I have K13 Ultimate, and I am thinking of just getting K14 Std, the "what's new" for K14 Std doesn't include Kontakt 7 for example - one of the main reasons I'd get the upgrade - while I'm pretty sure it's part of K14 Std... I don't feel confident in the info shown there

@noiseboyuk:
I want to buy my upgrade to 14 from AudioDeluxe as well, do you know if the upgrade can be registered at NI afterwards so that my purchase will be visible in my account dashboard? I know that I can register everything in Native Access but what I mean is, when I login to my NI account, my individual special price is visible to me. So if I already own 13CE my update price will be 249 euros , if I own another version the price to update will be higher etc...

And another question, how long did you wait to get the license codes from AD?

Yes, I noticed it left some off for me too, including all the Brainworx stuff and Ozone. Obviously you get everything in the bundle, so more than is shown in the "what's new for me" tab.

Both 13 and 14 CE appear in My Products, Serials and Downloads on the NI site, so yes 14CE will of course apply going forwards.

License codes took just a few minutes. I ordered morning US time, I don't know if that makes a difference.

Great, thank you very much! And for your great review as well

yeah, but no thanks, I'm not going to upgrade.
If anyone wants to purchase my K11 license send me a PM.

Edit: btw I want Falcon so 1:1 trade is ok.

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?

Well, Lucky me. After playing with several instruments by HomeGrown in Kontakt 7 had no crashes. Very happy!

Well, as an iZotope and PA customer, what does K[omplete]14 has to offer ... lots of redundant stuff ...

then thought about a K[ontakt]7 update - but what are the latest updates for K6 (6.8 ) and K7 - in-app store ... wow, if it was a non-mentioned feature in an update, ok, but ... I see zero customer value there ....

Of course, a company needs to make money ... but customer valued features should be apprend, which might not be to kill Absynth and add in-app-stores .... but, maybe I am already too old for that business model. - Well, most likely.

Guess, even NI cannot please everyone.

I don´t understand what you are talking about here but K14 has a world to offer compared to iZotope and PA.

Sorry, that was meant: upgrading from K13 (Std) to K14 (Std) .... In this case, one gets some NI stuff put lots of PA and iZotope stuff that one might already have anyways ....

I thought the Summer of Sound ended yesterday and was half happy that I "missed" it and half sorry that I didn't use it...
Today I saw it will last until next month!

Oh my...

I actually upgraded to Ultimate. Upgrading to the next version wasn’t really attractive, but there was enough in new sample libraries to make financial sense, and I’ve definitely got need for some new sample based instruments.
