I upgraded from K10 to K10 Ultimate.  Now I know where Jessica Curry and many others go to for their game soundtracks.  Half of the Amnesia series seems to come from the Action Strikes and Evolve libraries!
 
Not certain yet if the upgrade was truly worth it.  I need to spend time with the string libraries, but the Abbey kits sound reasonable and new Scarbee basses are good.
 
The stand-out for me though is Alicia's Keys.  That library just kept me stuck at the keyboard playing for hours and barely a look at the DAW. Very nice indeed.

Did anyone mention "Soul Treasures"? If anyone ever figures out what to do with that bizarre instrument, please let me know.

I've used Soul Treasures a few times. There are some really nice George Duke riffs in there. It's simple concept really - each riff is split into segments which you can time stretch, pitch shift, reverse etc. So you can take the original and twist it around until fits your track. You just have to experiment. 
 
It's also really worth learning the ins and outs of Kontakt because you can click that wrench icon and get inside the instrument to apply your own effects chains etc. You're not just limited to the effects that are given to you on the instrument's interface. Kontakt has a ton of every kind of effect you can imagine from EQ and compression to delays, flangers, choruses, tape sims, amp sims and distortion. Like Reaktor, you can either use it to host factory and third party instruments without ever getting under the hood, or you can roll your sleeves up and create your own stuff.

Isn't the Soul Treasure concept Hip Hop has been chopping up George Duke stuff for a long time and this just makes it easy?

And some follow up on shipping from Best Service in Germany. I bought my K10U update on Friday and I was notified by UPS it is scheduled for delivery Wednesday March 23 end of the day. 5 days from Germany to the frozen tundra of Minnesota with a weekend right in the middle? Wow! I could loose a day due to a snow storm on Wed but that's still nuts.

Why did you order it from a company in Germany? It's not like it's rare and you had no other choice.
Inquiring minds want to know!

What is Gründlichkeit? It doesn't have anything to do with older people breast feeding does it?

Just a little bitty.
