from: The Complete History of Komplete - All Native Instruments Komplete Versions Compared
Note: Costs mentioned below are not the current June 2015 sale pricesCRUNCHING THE NUMBERS - THE KOMPLETE DISCOUNTThe new Komplete 10 Prices tab http:// on the version comparison worksheet summarizes the pricing of the Komplete 10 bundles in great detail. Here are some quick facts regarding the bulk software discount that is Komplete 10. Note that all prices are in US dollars (USD): - If you paid the Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for all 39 Komplete 10 products individually, it would cost you $4,541 USD, making Komplete 10's asking price of $499 an 89% discount over retail. Similarly, if you paid the full MSRP for all 75 products that make up Komplete 10 Ultimate, the total would be $9,255 USD, which also turns out to be an 89% discount; the two bundles deliver the same price-per-product value (of $13 per product).
- If you're upgrading from standard Komplete 9 to standard Komplete 10, the 10 new products you'll get in the upgrade would cost you $712 to purchase individually, making the $199 upgrade price a 72% discount from full MSRP. Things get even better with the Komplete 10 Ultimate upgrade, where your $399 upgrade price buys you $1955 worth of software (14 new products), resulting in an 80% discount from MSRP.
- If you are trying to decide whether it will be worth it for you to upgrade from your existing version of Komplete to Komplete 10, just visit the Komplete 10 Prices tab and tally up the prices of the individual products in Komplete 10/K10U you think you'd actually use (the individual prices are all there). If the total price of the products you'd like to have is higher than the bundle update prices, then the upgrade will be a better deal for you in the long run.

I think it boils down to whether or not Komplete 10 comes with anything you really need vs a previous version you have. For me, I really wanted Damage, Absynth 5, Kinetic Metal, Rise & Hit and FM8. The new pianos will be nice as well and I've heard nothing but good about Alicia's Keys

The numbers may add up but upgrading from K9 to K10 just didn't feel like good value. The upgrade from K8 to K9 seemed like a way better deal. I guess they will have to put out something special for me to buy in. Getting Komplete at any time is great if you're just getting in to sampled sounds. Kind of like a partner to Sonar, at least it was for me. Think of what value you get when you buy those 2 products.

The other thing to consider is getting a Maschine controller which comes with Komplete Select 10 free, which is a shed load of Komplete plugins you can use in your DAW.

I just upgraded from Komplete Ultimate 9 to Ultimate 10 (HD is in the mail) and I feel that for $200 it was well worth it. Session Horns pro - come on. But not only that, there are 2 or 3 great new synths and some fantastic new effects in there. I'm looking forward to trying out the new EQ's and reverbs. If there's one complaint I have about Komplete is that they should really get rid of some of their more esoteric and specialized libraries and replace them with some more meat and potatoes stuff. For example, get rid of the Cuban and African libraries and replace them with some more guitars (especially acoustic).

I guess everyone IS different. I like the Cuban and African libraries because they are different and some flavor.
Strummed Guitar is out now so it should be included in Komplete 11 when that is released - maybe even a Strummed Guitar Pro for Komplete 11 Ultimate.
I do agree that Native Instruments is kinda weak in the guitar libraries.

I really appreciate the different textures (i.e the more esoteric and specialized libraries) available in the Ultimate editions. While I look forward to checking out all the new stuff - the Cuban library was the deciding factor why I'm upgrading from Ultimate 9 to 10. Except for perhaps creating a real replacement for the discontinued B4 plug-in - Ultimate 10 for my taste seems to have an abundance of meat & potatoes (drums, bass, piano, etc). As a guitar player I tend to ignore guitar sample libraries so I can't comment on that area but do agree that a good acoustic guitar library wouldn't hurt...

I've got Komplete 9, (from last years sale) and will stick with that version for now. Not enough to interest me in upgrading at this point for what I do. I've also bought a few Kontakt libraries from here and there, so I have pretty much what I need, without springing for Ultimate. I still use a lot of hardware synths & keyboards, so I don't use Komplete as much as I could if I was strictly ITB.
All in all, Komplete is almost a no brainer when it's on sale, considering the amount of content you get. It's a great bundle. If you're eye-balling Ultimate, then you really have to decide whether you'll use that extra content.

For updaters, it's not quite a no brainer. A lot of the time, they release the next version of the software in the fall after the summer sale. If you buy K10 on sale now, and K11 has some feature you need to have right now, you will have wasted your money on the K10 upgrade. On the other hand, if K11 is postponed or doesn't look that exciting, maybe you should have upgraded to K10 over the summer.

The way I see it is if you have K9 or k9U like I do, there is probably no way you could have dabbled with even half the feature set extensively. There are tons of samples I haven't loaded and certainly a whole load of synths I haven't used to full potential. Heck there are synths in Reaktor I haven't even loaded yet. Upgrading to version 10 would be a distraction away from my existing investment for me. I don't have time for Komplete 10.

I'm in a similar boat myself. I took the Kontakt cross-grade > Komplete upgrade route last year during the sale, which was great, and having been loving every minute of it since. Aside from SONAR itself it's been my single best and most used software investment. However.... K10 just isn't quite forcing me to buy. K10U? Yeah, now that I could do. If I only had the cash.  At one point I mis-read the $177 JRR sale as going from K9 to K10U, but was sadly let-down when I realized that it would still be $300+. Ah well, there's always version 11...

I agree the African library is nice (and I imagine the Cuban one is also). But I can't see myself using them again and again, the way you'd do with say a bass guitar library or vintage organ library. Unless of course African music is your meat and potatoes.

The way I look at it is, I'll never pay full price for a Komplete upgrade. I don't consider the full price upgrades to be good value for money. So I'm happy with waiting for the summer sale and being a little jealous in the fall when people start picking up the next version. The same thing happens when I buy a new phone - the new version's out in 6 months and I have to wait another 18 months for my upgrade. Having the very latest thing all the time just isn't possible unless you have money to burn.

If you are on K9, I think it's kinda dumb...Don't know bout the disappearing pianos but why upgrade from 9??? just a few dum dum additions. When I upgraded from 7 it was to get the new version of Kontakt and a bunch of there other big programs... Guitar Rig, Rektor (???), and Battery.
I would imagine 11 will be the heavy upgrade in their Kontakt cycle again. And it was 99 bucks. No problem.

I've got Komplete 9, (from last years sale) and will stick with that version for now. Not enough to interest me in upgrading at this point for what I do. I've also bought a few Kontakt libraries from here and there, so I have pretty much what I need, without springing for Ultimate. I still use a lot of hardware synths & keyboards, so I don't use Komplete as much as I could if I was strictly ITB.
All in all, Komplete is almost a no brainer when it's on sale, considering the amount of content you get. It's a great bundle. If you're eye-balling Ultimate, then you really have to decide whether you'll use that extra content.
I'm in a similar boat myself. I took the Kontakt cross-grade > Komplete upgrade route last year during the sale, which was great, and having been loving every minute of it since. Aside from SONAR itself it's been my single best and most used software investment.

Yup... Fortunately I had only collected $1.77 before I realized my mistake. Unfortunately it was all in pennies. Ah well, like the say... Sell A Vee!

Jeezz, can't find a buyer for my K10 bundle and ordered my K10 Ultimate already
Well, just looking at stacked boxes will give some form of satisfaction ...
Maybe you'll have a better chance when K11 comes out?

I should have my K9U to K10U upgrade on Monday.
I figure 11 is just around the corner but for $174 I don't mind being a couple of years behind in this case. There's the ProHorns for one. They've paid for the upgrade.
