The (virtual) packaging and UI has gold trim ... they are clearly after the flush punter.

The demos sound incredibly good. The price is nuts. How are they going to include that with K11U? Maybe we will get another bundle. Native Instruments Komplete 11 Ultimate, Bapu Edition. Comes on a SSD drive with 5lbs of German Black Forest Smoked Becan. Sign me up, playa!

There is a crowd...albeit a small crowd of cinematic writers out there who money is no object. I mean , if you just scored a few blockbusters for Sony or Dreamworks...499.00 is nothing. There aren't many of them and those people really don't look on NI as anything spectacular compared to some of the specialty sound sets available for cinematic music which cost much much more. Some of them were probably given free examples to rate and test for their opinions....a few of them might throw some change out there for that set which will be just another tool in the toolbox.
Where many of the strings sets come up short is in realistic attacks...nothing I have tried yet really can duplicate an authentic string attack. I wonder if this set can do it realistically? Many composers are using real instruments to augment a sound to give it a more real feel..
 
But yeah...I doubt they will move much product at that price to the masses. The people who simply need a small section here and there probably won't bite at 499.00


But all those folks are already heavily invested in Spitfire, ProjectSam, Cinebrassand all the other wonderful packages... To date, NI orchestral stuff has been pretty tacky and maybe this is an attempt to erase that image... Soundiron is way better and the demos sound great but they're getting into a fairly saturated market... for me?  no way...

Maybe NI will include this in K11U and a few other small things but have Kontakt 6 and Reaktor 6 be the big draw.

And maybe Guitar Rig 6.

This might not end up in Komplete at all.
 
here is my reasoning.  this was produced by Soundiron and links to their page are on the NI product page.  this might be a 3rd party distribution deal like Heavyocity had.
 
remember Heavyocity Damage and Evolve were not included in Komplete at all for couple of versions.
 
so have to wait and see if this gets included in Komplete Ultimate or not.  My bet is no it won't be included after thinking about it.
 
Then again I really don't care much, I have Vienna and other products to fill the need.  No way I would pay $499 just for this product no matter how good, since you can get entire orchestra libraires for that or cheaper.
