I "saved" $200 on a 49S MK2/KU11 bundle either at the end of last year or the beginning of this year. They had similar deals on S61 MK2 & Maschine MK3 bundles as well.@EvilDragon - do you know if NI ever does combo sales on Komplete Kontrol and NI Komplete as a discounted bundle?
Generally no, they happen during Christmas, bf and spring as well, but in your case I'd say summer at the earliest cause komplete 12 is a new productone more question, @EvilDragon - those half off sales that usually occur, those are during summer right, not black friday? meaning that i'd be waiting a year for half off, correct?
Gah. Missed that too. Somehow not myself today. It's Folsom in Berlin right now. I guess I am a bit distracted.Well not now, on Oct 1st.
OK, i think I'll have to map this all out on a spreadsheet and figure out a plan of attack.Generally no, they happen during Christmas, bf and spring as well, but in your case I'd say summer at the earliest cause komplete 12 is a new product
For the keyboards maybe earlier

Basically, I am not a fan of my current controller, and hoped to pick up both the S88 and the Komplete Software (which i do not have yet.) So i'd like to get both, but that's a hefty price tag, hence the looking for sales
If this is not the case (using Kontakt directly withlight guide) then what does this sentence mean fron the Kontakt 6 page (near bottom)?:
“KONTAKT also works seamlessly with the Light Guide on KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboards for one-to-one visual feedback.”
Probably means when loaded inside Komplete Kontrol. But when its released there should be a way to get the free player version to see. But personally doubt it. Hope I am wrong...
And one day maybe VSL will make VEP NKS compatible.
Looks like NI finally understands who after users is keeping Kontakt alive.
I don't understand why I need two softwares to get light guide working.
Really excited about this! There are a bunch of developer-focused features that are going to result in some cool advancements for Kontakt-based libraries. And the new effects sound really nice, especially the new algorithmic reverbs and delays.
You can't just let that rest can you haha. :D *Hands you a german beer*Had Native Instruments not betrayed their end-users with their Native Access malware and forced online activation, I would be enthusiastically excited about all of this too...
...But as it is, this is just another sad day in the devolution of digital-age privacy & autonomy rights, as there is now going to be a version of Kontakt that I cannot ethically justify purchasing, however much I still wish I could remain and grow in the NI ecosystem.
But I'm glad that people who can live with the new status quo, who are able to perceive it as other than Orwellian and fascist can be happy about Kontakt 6. I wish I could see it in a positive way too. But I can't without being intellectually dishonest. Believe me, I have tried...
Oh boy.. wait till AI & bionanotech start infiltrating our everyday lives. And no this is not science fiction talk.Had Native Instruments not betrayed their end-users with their Native Access malware and forced online activation, I would be enthusiastically excited about all of this too...
