      Finally, a good deal from NI:

      https://www.native-instruments.com/en/pricing/komplete-15/

      Pricing if you already have Komplete 14 Ultimate:

      • Komplete Standard update: $159.20
      • Komplete Ultimate update : $319.20
      • Komplete Collector’s Edition upgrade: $479.20

      PLUS use code LNGS1MOE to get 10% more off!

      I didn’t bother trying the $25 voucher cuz you can only use 1 voucher and the 10% one above is a better deal. Plus, I believe the $25 code is only good for non-sale items.

        Yeah,  you’re right that the $25 US voucher is only good for non sale items. So, as a Komplete 14 Standard user, this isn’t bad, but holding out until summer may get us 50% off on the update to 15. If there were a bunch of compelling libraries in the update,  I might do this, but NI has been focusing more attention on loops, and I almost never use loops, so I’ll wait it out for a better deal.

        It is a great deal for those just getting Komplete for the first time.  For me, Kontakt is the most important plugin there is. As much as I love Superior Drummer 3 (not Toontrack as a company,  to be clear, but the product); if I could only use one plugin,  it would certainly be Kontakt and Komplete is a tremendous value, IMO.

            Please note that these are less than 50% off when the 10% coupon is used. For example. for me:

            • Normal Komplete 15 Ultimate update “offer”: $599.50
            • Projected 50% summer sale would make it: $299.75
            • Total price for me with this sale and 10% coupon: $287.28

            So, I could get this AND 2 cups of coffee with this sale right now.

              Are you sure your Ultimate update is $599? For me it looks to be 399 (albeit in euros) without discount, and 319.2 on sale now. So 50% would be 199.

              Looks to me that I’ll have to wait until next Summer though.

                Well, now I’m not sure. Depending on where I look. I see these prices for K15 Ultimate update:

                • $599
                • $479
                • $399
                • $320

                But I remember looking at my price about a month ago (when there was no sale) and it was $599.

                I looked back at my K14 Ultimate purchase in June 2023 and I paid $199 for that. So maybe they’ll repeat next summer. Since none of the libraries are forcing us to Kontakt 8, I don’t really NEED it right now. Would I get $80 worth of use out of it over the next 6 months? Maybe…

                  Also, to help figure out if the K14 -> K15 upgrade is worth it, there’s a spreadsheet online that lists what products are included in the various Komplete versions, located here.
