I have a $25 voucher too (S61 keyboard) I also have Komplete 10 Ultimate and Strummed Acoustic.
Would have been nice to apply the voucher to Emotive Strings but can't do that.  So now I'm thinking of getting the Reaktor 6 upgrade which might induce me to learn how to use it.

you can buy a Maschine pack and use the samples/loops in other programs, just cant get the full Maschine eprerience out of the packs that way.
 
seriously I have never been able to use a NI voucher on anything but a Maschinepack because of the can't be used on a sle item, and once you have Ultimate you have pretty much everything in the store.
 
tracktor and Maschine are about it.

I'm a little surprised that as an Ultimate owner they won't let you use the voucher on a sale item...

I don't think I've used one since Kore was ambushed. I used to get Kore sound packs with the vouchers, I think.

OK, got the Strummed Acoustic and just fired up my new Komplete Kontrol S61. 
 
WOW
 
This is the first time I actually was able to play a Kontakt instrument with the various articulations! I was never quite sure how the colored zones worked in the UI of Kontakt in teh past. Having the keyboard light them up made it dead simple to experiment. 
 
I was able to make some great rhythms quickly and easily - and it was a blast to play it. Can't wait to explore my other instruments with this keyboard! :)

Yes indeedy! :)
 
Seriously, I would never have thought a controller could open up so much possibility. The way you can browse through NI instruments and the knobs automatically map, and how easy it is to page through different mappings.
 
If you have NI Komplete Ultimate, this deserves a very serious look; it will expand what you already have.

Did check out the 88key version: solid build, great Fatar keybed. Still, too pricey. Cherishing my 49er and particularly loving its synth action.

My Sweetwater rep hooked me up with the S61 for $550. The S88 is a BIG jump at $999...
