Re: Kontakt 6?
Thank you, Mark!
HandHeld Sound's Flying Hand Percussion has been on my radar since the get-go; that was always going to be the one instrument I figured I'd ever need for it, so I'm not surprised you've recommended it.
Well, I'll have K6 anyway, so, particularly if the Collector-edition-Komplete's included library (forgotten what it's called - Cuban something or other?) doesn't include MIDI-velocity "layering" for realtime playing, FHP will be a no-brainer. Dayum. More money... and waiting.
Thanks again, bud. Hope you're well!

I gave it a shot. This is the response I got:HCMarkus wrote:You might try reaching out to Native Instruments... I own Komplete Ultimate 10, but Komplete Control did not show up on Native Access. I emailed NI, and they added it for me.cuttime wrote:That seems to be the conclusion that was reached by the thread from the NI forums that I posted.

I just installed Komplete 12, and at first glance it looks like NI is relying on Native Access and Komplete Kontrol, unless there is something I am overlooking.
"Thank you for contacting Native Instruments.
This tab was indeed removed in Kontakt 6. If you really want to use this tab, you can still use Kontakt 5 if necessary.
I'm sorry I couldn't provide you with a more satisfying answer but please let me know if I can help you with anything else."

Re: Kontakt 6?
I have always been confused on this “essentials” orchestras vs “full” versions. I haven’t been able to find data not his. Do you have a link to an explanation of this or could you tell me? I think I have “essentials” with 11 “Ultimate”. I was always confused as to whether or not there was a larger version and why “Ultimate” didn’t come with it? IF there is s big difference, I will get collectors edition, even though I think its BS to buy”uptime” and have it not have the biggest version of its orchestras.mikehalloran wrote:When I saw that the full Symphonic libraries come with the Ultimate Collectors Edition in addition to the 30 expansion packs, I decided to spend the $199 now and wait till the next sale
I still need a new(er?) Mac than the 2010 and 2011 I have now. I don't know that next Tuesday's announcements will be of interest but I am curious to see what Apple has in the pipe.
Anyway, $999 wasn't in this week's NI budget even if Sweetwater will let me spread it over 24 months. Black Friday? Summer Sale? Maybe...

Re: Kontakt 6?
It’s confusing. I didn’t spot it at first when I looked at the Compare chart but I finally saw it: SYMPHONY ESSENTIALS in one column and SYMPHONY SERIES in the other.toodamnhip wrote: I have always been confused on this “essentials” orchestras vs “full” versions.

Huh?
It took some searching but I finally found them.
SYMPHONY SERIES — 165G

SYMPHONY ESSENTIALS — 18G
https://www.native-instruments.com/en/p ... ollection/
Each of the libraries can also be found on this page:

Re: Kontakt 6?
NI used to offer a functioning demo of Symphony Essentials. I have a collection of about 15G of these, including Brass, Solo Brass, String Ensemble, WW ensemble and WW solo. I'm less than impressed. The strings are some of the worst I have. The GUI is the "one knob" theory of design, although there are deeper options for further articulations.

Re: Kontakt 6?
Calling the package “Ultimate” while giving only the essential orchestra libraries is BS!!!!

Re: Kontakt 6?
After telling me "no can do", NI says "come and get It". Komplete Kontrol is free. AND, the K5 database tab is back in K6. Go figure:
