[@elpecemusiq6955]

Just listened to the demos on the advert and the sounds are just mesmerising. The songs put on there express the beauty of the sounds.

[@losophy4588]

gonna wait for summer sale. Not worth upgrading now for 500 bucks imo

[@ELLIOT8209]

Yeah, I'm still on 12ku CE

[@quincylinder9738]

I’m still on 12 and finally looking to upgrade due to some plugins not working on my new silicon Mac (switched from intel based one) gonna wait for a Black Friday or summer sale fs

[@quincylinder9738]

Do they do Black Friday sales?

[@sleepingstate1978]

Standard native instruments. They are fantastic in the sales. Out of sales... Not so much

[@sleepingstate1978]

​@@quincylinder9738probably but the real sale is their half price event. Not sure if it's summer or not but it will be at least 6 months after the release.

[@BossLevelAudio24]

Before I watch the video, it'd want to be something amazing to get me to part with another big chunk of cash. There's just so many cheaper alternatives now that are fantastic.

[@johnsuggs7828]

I have 14 Standard. Didn't need all of what's included with the Collector's and Ultimate editions. Looking at the instruments I want to get, Like the Alicia Electric Keys. The ones I want total more than the 500 dollars compares with the199 upgrade price tag to go from 14 to 15. No rush, but this is probably going to happen. Slowly going *Kompletely* Native Instruments and Arturia.

[@jroc2k]

Just downloaded mine, these sounds are amazing!

[@BEATZ4JESUS24SEVEN]

We’re I went wrong was purchasing individual plugins$ 1.400 and now there in the collectors edition that is 499.00I just upgraded to standard 15 I reached out to native instruments hopefully I pray they can adjust the price it’s to much this collectors upgrade price when ya have most of the plugins I think NI should Adjust the price if you have duplicate plugins I gave NI enuff for the next 3 future komplete collectors in over spending with them

[@joelrudshavn4894]

I agree. Had the same problem. But sadly i just had to sell the licenses instead . Knobcloud is a good option. However i wish native instruments had a discount solution for the loyal customers.

[@CommentingOnYoutube]

you can resell them at least

[@ernestm8884]

I'm in the same boat. I purchased most of the plugins that come in 15 standard and it would be really cool if NI offered Komplete 15 Ultimate for the $199.00 for peaople like us. How do you resell licenses??

[@joelrudshavn4894]

@@ernestm8884 On the NI page under ”my account” . There is a License transfer option. You need aquire a transfer id. And then you can sell it. Knobcloud is a good option.

[@jcav764]

Surprised by how much Leap looks like Arcade

[@frankwalders]

Ha ha was thinking exactly the same thing

[@CommentingOnYoutube]

Well I was excited when I saw leap, combined with having all my one shots/loops in kontakt. YES I thought. Finally I can have all my one shots/loops with drag and drop and sound preview to quickly create drum kits with. But ofc it shouldn't be that easy. For some reason there's no tags in the view mode. And I can only preview one expansion at a time. There's a search bar at least, so I can search "kick" etc The new komplete kontrol and kontakt 8 seems like constant step forward and step backwards in some areas I like kontakt 8 overall, but dissapointed it's not as good as it could be in some areas

[@WriteJus]

The main thing I’m interested in is using the loops and one shots on Kontakt 8 with all the expansions I got. I wanna see how deep the functionality actually is: if that is dope, I’ll upgrade soon. Chords seem cool, but I already have scaler 2 😎

[@bennyceca]

I think I'll wait for the summer sale or even Komplete 16 in couple of years before upgrading from v14.

[@liothomasart]

New sampler is great, leap is great, the cinematic guitars is niche I won't use it… maybe they will integrate that new sampler in Maschine ? That would be cool. I might update but waiting for Maschine Software (hardware) update really really, really bad.

[@ohheyitskevinc]

Albion One will look awesome in a scaled up Kontakt UI 😂 just kidding. I just want to be able to read it finally. Since I make my own sample libraries, it’ll be interesting to discover what the new UI design/sizing requirements are or whether it’s free form.

[@domshov]

Especially the Ostinato programming!!!!

[@jefgibbons]

Would love to hear back from someone who makes their own libraries. It's weird that even Kithara looks chunky scaled up and it is brand new.

[@ernestm8884]

I'd like to see how Komplete 15 and Kontakt 8 work with my Maschine MK3, and my Kontrol s61 MK2.

[@triplebeam23]

Id be more interested in how it handles old libraries.. i have a ton of libraries that will probably never get a update.. that i wont part ways with.. and im just praying it is still usable

[@jefgibbons]

Good point! I'm guessing we're ok for now, but if Kontakt ever gets a big redesign we might have issues. Don't expect scaling to look nice, but that's not a big deal!

[@StephaneGman]

I wish they had split paying like Ableton :(

[@EdVizenor]

Go Jeff! Hey I have a question about Kontact maybe you might know. When I open it, the sensitivity is super quite when I play. I have to hit the keys HARD to get a sound. I am using a kontact keyboard. How do I set the default velocity?

[@jefgibbons]

On the new ones you just go to settings on the hardware, then page right at the top, then adjust the sensitivity. Let me know if that helps!

[@thombarath5862]

I actually like it because it add Komplete Kontrol features (I hate this software) to Kontakt. Now I can access my Maschine libraries. Cool. But what is the plan with Kontrol? Will I eventually be able to use my NKS vsts within my mk3 keyboard?

[@dreG450]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you've been using Maschine 2 a lot less since you've switched your kontrol keyboard to mk3. I'm curious to see how your Maschine workflow has changed with the new controller and Komplete 15.

[@jefgibbons]

Definitely... I've been using it more in Cubase these days, reluctantly. Waiting for the new version of Maschine software, hoping it is a big leap forward (I haven't seen anything yet so I have no idea what it will look like). Honestly though, my videos are just quick ones these days... I will have more time in the future and will be able to get back to the regular Maschine programming. Thanks for not jumping ship!

[@chrisevans5082]

You can tell this is a hard one for Jeff to show off when time-stretched sampled loops take up half the video. NI have totally lost their edge and no longer create innovative content or instruments. What is there is good quality, but I don't need more sampled content. Real pity.

[@anzatzi]

If you not using an NI controller, Komplete Kontrol is a nightmare!

[@-Hann]

please can you elaborate on how it's a nightmare? :)

[@delphisignal]

Does the custom edit mode (wrench icon part) still look like something from Windows 98?

[@Inversible100]

Did they change anything to Massive X?

[@jefgibbons]

Doesn't look like it ☹

[@iyoseioshv549]

I've downloaded kontakt 8 and i was trying to use the new tools like chords and phrases and it kept doing weird things and playins stuff whithout me pressing anithing, it has been a nightmare to use on maschine 2 and in Fl studio. Honestly i am quite disappointed and waiting for a long time for it.

[@alain_de_frothcorn]

I'm having a nightmare just trying to download this upgrade. Sometimes Native Access doesn't show the new stuff, then it does - then it lets me download and then it fails. Servers must be struggling!

[@jefgibbons]

I have had many issues with Native Access myself! I have to have a TON of hard drive space, and make sure any form of VPN is turned off (even the iCloud Private Relay)

[@digitalzips]

Most of my owned products form Standard 14 and earlier are now in demo mode, and also Kontakt 8. Bit of a mess so far.

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

Komplete 15 and Kontakt 8. So confusing

[@paulc7798]

Kontakt resizing is a joke.

[@Azfurita]

still that stupid library view?

[@everyonehatesfrauditors765]

Exactly - bldy pain - unusable.
