FREE LIBRARIES FOR KONTAKT 6 PLAYER FULL VERSION

Get a free or cheap Kontakt Player library, like Embertone Arcane, and you become eligible for a crossgrade at half the price you posted.Ĭurrently the full version and crossgrade are the same price for $199 (full discounted 50% from $399 and crossgrade discounted 20% from $249). Just like it is now-access to use any library and ability to edit/create sample libraries. Access to use any library, but you can't sample, edit or create libraries.

(additional tier) Kontakt Player Pro (maybe $99 full price.

Just like it is now-works with libraries licensed for Kontakt Player I feel like they should have one more tier. I have libraries that require the full version, some free and some I got for cheap, in which I use with the 15 min demo mode of Kontakt, and then I print to track I've been getting by with that for some time.

I use Kontakt Player and I mostly only purchase libraries compatible with Kontakt Player. IMO if you aren't using Kontakt to build and edit libraries, it understandably feels like an unnecessary amount to pay. Yeah I definitely like the Rack Extension approach to licensing betterįor me the answer of whether or not it's worth buying the full version of Kontakt is a tricky one. I think it might be easy to overlook that a lot of money and R&D goes into creating the environments used here. If you want to use their sample scripting SDK it will cost a bit more as some will probably have to go to UJAM. If you want to develop a product, it is sold through the site and uses the sandbox they create. The Propellerhead model would be in similar fashion. If they don't want to pay those fees its passed on to us where we will need to purchase the full software which for us opens up a greater sized library too. Thousands possibly which is why many may just say 'go full version'. NI is going to get money from their scripting software one way or the other right? If a developer wants to release a product that doesn't need a full version they are going to pay NI on your behalf.

Owning a qualifying product may also allow for a cheaper upgrade path in the future as well during sale times.

If they aren't of interest then software alone would be a better choice. Getting a Komplete bundle will also provide you with a decent set of libraries to use as well. I would certainly look towards the bundle option in Komplete if you were going to spend money. By owning it you aren't restricted to using any of the 3rd party libraries whether for player or full version. I say that largely because it is probably the largest platform for samples of all styles of music. In my opinion Kontakt Full Version is one of those pieces of software that should be given deep consideration by any musician.
