Starting out with Music Production I used to only dream about owning these plugins (I had a crack that annihalated my back then PC) and now I do (At least the Standard Version).

I always struggled with the decision and now I know I was a fool. I also own Max 3.5 from IK Multimedia and compared to one another Komplete 14 is way more stable and usefull (at least on the instrument side).

When it comes to production and writing K14 just gives easy to use sounds that really sound amazing and the new Kontakt Orchestra is a blast.

The only critic I have is with the standard synth sounds in Kontakt, they aren't that good, but since you get Massive, Massive X and Reaktor there is still a blast of alternatives that leave very less to desire.

Tiny warning at the end for newbies and oldies: you need at least a mac from 2018 or a Windows laptop/pc with a CPU of 4- 6 reaching 2.5- 3.2 GHz minimum and 10 GB of RAM minimum. Everything below gets wacky.

Also installing on an external SSD works like a crush.

Overall I'm considering switching to Ultimate... let's see how that goes.

Update 21.07.2024: I finally got Ultimate. It's worth it: from libraries like Piano Colours to the Reaktor FX Molekular it's amazing. The orchestra essential libraries are great, lightweight, roundrubin sampled and offer a lot of variations and playstile.... a must.

Hi All,

This is my first post on KVR, so please bear with me. If I have posted this in the wrong location, please let me know so that I can amend it.

I bought Komplete 13 Ultimate Collector's Edition about 2 years ago & as a new customer, I didn't realise how Native Instruments calculates their upgrades for existing customers.

Since then, I made the mistake of paying almost £700 extra for newly released titles when they were released as I always intended to upgrade to the next version of Komplete on its release. After messaging Native Instruments about this and requesting a revised upgrade price for Komplete 14 Ultimate, I was told that this is not possible and was advised to resell any titles that will be included in Komplete 14 myself.

Anyway, you live and learn.

The instruments and Expansions that I'm looking to sell at a significant discount to the Native Instruments website price are as follows.

Instruments:

Piano Colors.

Sequis.

Playbox.

Glaze.

EXPANSIONS:

Backyard Jams.

Crate Cuts.

Sacred Futures.

Trill Rays.

Electric Touch.

Certified Gold.

Burnt Hues.

MASSIVE X EXPANSIONS:

Bounce.

Haze.

Quest.

I will be selling these on Knobcloud as it is my first time reselling plugins. I don't have any previous history with reselling software and want to ensure protection for me as the seller and reassure prospective buyers that this is a legitimate sale.

Sales of the titles as a bundle will increase the discount, due to the lower fees that I will have to pay.

If anyone is interested in purchasing any of these titles individually or multiples as a bundle, please message me, as it will help to offset the price I will pay to upgrade to Komplete 14 Ultimate. I can then negotiate a price prior to posting the listing on Knobcloud, so that the sale can be processed efficiently and meet the buyer's requirements at an agreed price.

Many thanks in advance.
