I think I'm with you on this one. If i just wait till next summer then stability is better and i get it for half price. If the only updates are guitar rig 5, kontakt 5. No FM8 update, absynth. What worries me is that alot of things are going to get dropped.JuanSOLO wrote:I have Komplete 6, and as with Komplete 7 and 8, there isn't enough "new" in it, to make me want it.
Don't know where the ads are from, but here in the states NI are saying wait until Monday for any "announcement" meaning I couldn't get any info out of NI about the upgrade path if you buy a K7 upgrade now...doghouse wrote:So how come I can't find those pages on the NI website?
They make more money out of the sample packs I'm guessing and people aren't willing or it's too easy to share freebies of presets or the synths?glitchrock-buddha wrote:I do find it strange that Kontakt and Guitar Rig are getting yet another full version upgrade while fm8 and Massive haven't changed in about 5 years.
Definitely a good policy if you prefer synths. They don't update their synths much anymore, they are quite focused on sample content these days it seems. Though they have added to Reaktor recently.3dot... wrote:I love my NI stuff...
although I lean towards upgrading every other version..
I'm also a synth guy so I tend not to use the sampled content as much
I still like having it.. it's useful ..
I just read an interview in Computer Music magazine, with one of the guys from NI. In that he says that the majority of new developments are going to be centered around either Reaktor, Kontakt or Guitar Rig (synths, samplers and effects) and you can kind of see this policy in effect with the recent releases of Razor, session strings pro and the new vintage compressors.glitchrock-buddha wrote:
