Just tried it a couple of days and I think it will become part of my arsenal.

First of all the good:

• Very good sound. Every sample and Osc sounds amazing, no cramping or aliasing so far.
• Very, very excellent presets!!! I tried all of them out and they all sound amazing.
• very good Fx, with just a few tweaks you get what you want.
• Simple but yet fun interface.

Now the Bad:

• No arpeggios.
• Starting from scratch not easy.
• No separate browser for searching sounds per genre.

Overall there are some misses when it comes to sound design from scratch, but the excellent sound of itself and all the presets make it more than worthwhile.

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.

Both "driveshaper" and "drivefactor" became instant favorites:

versatile, easy to use and yet filled with a lot of options like a phase invert button and a limiter to prevent one by playing with them to crush one'S speakers.

These two plugins are a must-have. Overall: just lucky to have them.
