NI KOMPLETE 8 Ultimate - Wow!

[aizo]

As for the external drive I believe that is only for installation to internal or other external hard drive from what I read about it. Secondly, WHAT THE HELL IS NI DOING? They JUST released K7 not long ago THIS YEAR. And K8 includes only 2 updated instruments (Kontakt 5 and Guitar Rig 5 Pro) and includes some more content than on K7 update (90GB samples vs 110-ish MB) and maybe some more effects. I can't believe they aren't even offering an UPDATE option at this time as well. I got K7 due to 50% off which I couldn't really pass up to get Kontakt 4, GR-4, and Absynth 5, worth $114.50 I paid to update from K5 to K7.

Wait no update option? that can't be right.....eitherway, I took the same route as you. Got the 50% off summer deal and upgraded from K5 to K7.

I'm really interested in those drum libraries. Until I get a studio in my house and can fully mic my kit I'll need something amazing sounding to keep my somewhat satisfied

I forget when K7 originally came out but it had to have been in last 6 months at the least if 8 is due on 9/1/11. And the update was months after the initial release I *think*. I waited and waited till almost end of the time period to get the update. I wanted it for Absynth 5 and Kontakt 4 (GR-4 is a bonus I guess lol since I don't play guitar worth diddly haha). And Battery 3 has some decent kits in it for my needs (orchestral mainly). But I am not bothering with K8, probably not even to do an update. I'll wait and see if they do a K9 next year at a steep discount for updates

NI is off tha hook! This PLUS announcing Maschine 1.7? Dayum.

[crofter]

Not really ultimate though, Ultimate should include Maschine as well.

I'll wait for next summers' sale. From K6 the update cycle has been about a year and both K6 and K7 was -50% a month before announcing the new version.

Seems no one has seen this yet, but the drive is ONLY FOR INSTALLING.

You can't run the thing from the drive itself.

Well guess I was looking at the wrong page or something. I still am not spending the money to go to K8 since I just went to K7 at this time. Not worth it (and don't have the money for it). If it goes for 50% later and I got the coin maybe, but for GR-5 Pro, Kontakt 5 and Reaktor 5.6 which I haven't even messed with in a long long time - not worth the trouble/coin for me. I don't do music for a living as well.

I still have Komplete 5 and I don't think I will bother.
The thought of going through all those presets scares me.

Given that it takes a few months to iron out bugs, it seems sensible to just wait until next year to get it heavily discounted, especially as id say there's nothng 'essential' in the update.

[macmurphy]

It seems many people are a bit unimpressed with Komplete 8 in comparison to 7.

as they were with 7 in comparison to 6.
