don't buy the bundle until the 50% sale comes along in a few months. The upgrades are a joke, they don't reward loyalty. Why does an owner of v6 pay the same as v14? That's just wrong. Same with those who've bought part of the bundle already, no discounts given.

[@this.is.shashwat]

True

[@TierHarribel]

Can confirm. When they introduce that whole array of high quality plugins and sound packs you get for free for buying Komplete later, you'll miss out on them because they don't give them to existing owners of Komplete 15. Kinda nasty if you ask me, they did it with the previous Komplete and the one before that too, so I got burned by them once. Learn from me guys. Had I just waited a few months instead of buying it on release, I would've gotten several hundred dollars worth of content for free.

🔥Exactly, the upgrades are a joke and a slap in the face for those of us who have always bought the supposed top tier collectors edition. Over $800 upgrade for what exactly?

CHORDS, phrases & leap are all FREE. Kontakt 8 player has all 3. Do the smart thing and get kontakt8 player instead of spending 260$ on an upgrade of which you'll use 25 sounds and the rest 2600 sounds sit on the shelf forever. Great vid on telling us the different tiers btw!

EXCELLLENT Comparison and review of new instruments!! Outstanding!! This video can be used as a quick reference to go back and get a quick summary of each instrument. I also think the Conflux app is like the "combinator" functionality in Reason where it mixes different synth apps and patches into something unique. 😊😊 Thank you, Sanjay. Best 45minutes I've spent on YT in a long time. Your efforts are truly appreciated.

[@SanjayC]

Wow...I appreciate that so much. I'm glad its helpful and useful and that you can use this video as a reference. That's what I aim to do!

[@vewilli]

Super introduction of Komplete 15. As I really cannot afford everything I just updated my Kontakt from 7 to 8. I think I have so many NI-Sounds that I never use, so it's not necessary to upgrade to Komplete 15 ... Nevertheless, you give an extremely good inside into Komplete 15. Thank you so much.

[@SanjayC]

I appreciate that buddy. Thanks for coming and watching anyway.

[@hexertion]

My best guess would be NI as a company (and by no means are they alone in this) is in a hamster wheel where they feel like they need to continuously ship "new" stuff to keep profits going... while actually fixing UX in their existing plugins would be a lot better for their user base and their reputation. Komplete Kontrol for example has multiple bugs that make it a pain in the ass to use. Routine stuff like sorting and faving presets which is a breeze in other vendors (e.g. Arturia) is unnecessarily hard in a lot of NI's plugins. There's a lot of good stuff in Komplete still, but they make it really hard on you to get the maximum out of them. Depending on your budget and what you want to do, you might have much better options out there these days.

[@SN-xx7jh]

Hi Sanjay Thanks for sharing indepth details of Komplete kontrol and kontakt 8 in details. All my queries remains answered now thanks a lot.

[@ktreier]

Don’t ever buy any NI individual instruments when they launch. I own Komplete 14 Collectors Edition. When Electric Keys came out I bought it. The fact I already own that doesn’t factor into upgrade pricing to 15 even though that’s one of the new instruments included that I already own. NI will never get $ from me between Komplete upgrades now. Arturia is pretty much the same in this regard.

[@rmp5s]

Looks so fun and inspirational!! Might be time to upgrade my 12 Ultimate!! When do the sales start, though? Black Friday? Christmas?

[@alexbreugelmans8448]

Thanks for sharing this exquisite review. I do have one question: I can only see the multicolored light guide while opening instruments thru Komplete Kontrol and not in Kontakt directly. Is this because I am using KK keyboard mark 2 and not mark 3? Greetings, Alex

[@sirsilva7079]

Ni are very crafty indeed, they broke select bundle into 3 bundles knowing very well when looking closer none of the 3 make sense separated leading you to want to take the costlier next tier 'Standard' version. No wonder they went upfront about select bundle during pre-order period. I'll pass this time and stick to my select 14!

How were you able to play the expansions on the keyboard? Did you convert them?

[@SanjayC]

I opened them in Battery. Once you have the expansion installed, open Battery and then you can even search in Battery by the name of the Expansion. Works beautifully as long as you have Battery, of course.

[@PhillipYarish]

@SanjayC Thank you again! I will give it a try in Battery.

[@vadimmartynyuk]

This is specifically Komplete Ultimate 15, many of these instruments are not included in Komplete Standard and some are not in Komplete Ultimate

I’m switching from EastWest for NI. Compared to NI EastWest is pretty sub par especially when you use the NI keyboard. Your channel pushed me to make the decision. BTW love your stuff. Only question is what MacBook are you using?

You can find the loops from the Expansions in Kontakt, but I like playing them through Battery. So convenient and you can search by the name of the Expansion.

[@defrigge]

Kontakt 8 was a useful upgrade for me, and I like the new UI/workflow. While I have bought roughly 150 NI plugins and expansions over many years, I would NEVER buy any of the Komplete packages. Once you are in for it, you pay lots of pointless yearly upgrade fees (with really impertinent update pricing lately), while only using a fraction of the content. In short: you enjoy OWNING endless stuff without USING it: hilarious. My VST plugins are still too many, but at least I like what I bought and and make quite regular use of it. Komplete is a complete scattershot trashcan product IMO, with little practical use and a lot of useless, time wasting distraction.

[@DaveChips]

Schema Dark... Dubstep, Drum n bass, Dark electro, quiet transitional sections 😅😁

[@alex8795]

@sanjayc Would you happen to have or point me in a good direction of a video showing the install process to this library, step by step? or a previous version like 14 that would be a similar process.. From where and how to save the files properly without overloading the memory of your computer but still having the quality of the VST's when you load them for a session or a live setup.. I appreciate your help!!! Blessings!
