Great deal, down from $399:

They did this same deal last year too I think. I've been eyeing Reaktor for a few months now, but was holding out for a sale. Win for me!

It's usually a solid path to a cheap Komplete upgrade too. I think they generally do this Reaktor sale, then they do the cheap upgrade deal to komplete.

Good to know. Though I just started getting into Max for Live, and now with Reaktor 5 I think my plate will be pretty full for a while.

Also, just installed Reaktor, and like Live it too isn't updated for Retina. Blurry text be damned! Though this kind of makes me less angry at Ableton... Or perhaps equally angry at Native Instruments? Well, I suppose one of these days higher resolutions will be the standard.

Sale on twisted tools plugins as well as well.

Yep. I've owned Reaktor since v.3, and last year I qualified for an upgrade to Komplete for (i think) $299. Amazing bargain. And the Reaktor User Library is reason alone to get it.

On it this is the benefit of cracked software now they have a new customer I.e me hehe

Oh yes.

Imagine if U-he had a sale like this on Zebra

Imagine how all the people feel how bought Reaktor at its regular price (399$!, that is a factor of 4!)
Or any other NI stuff which regularly gets a "sale".

Just marketing tricks.

I personally prefer the u-he approach.

It's a conspiracy!

All Nis stuff regularly goes on sale, i haven't paid full price for NI anything in a long time. Take advantage of the sales and buy then. TT are having a sale to coincide, 35% off everything including the Total bundle which works out at $250! I'd be pretty pissed if i'd just bought that and i wouldn't predict TT having such a sale. Still would suck if i'd just bought Reaktor but i'd just have to suck it up and redress the balance by never paying full price again!

Hmmm... Documentation leaves a bit to be desired...

Going through the "Getting Started" manual and the randomization feature for one of the sequencers doesn't work??? A quick search of their forum shows I have to turn on a setting that I likely never would have found otherwise. Not a good start NI.
