for those that think that Komplete 10 Ultimate upgrade of $399 is to high a price consider what you get (only new items to 10U are listed). If you bought Action strikes and Session Horns Pro (which I was going to) then the upgrade pays for itself and ya get other cool toys.
Abby Road 50s Drummer $99.00
Action Strikes $299.00
Discovery Series Cuba $99.00
Drumlab $99.00
Kinetic Metal $99.00
Kontour $99.00
Molekular $149.00
Polyplex $69.00
Rise & Hit $149.00
Rounds (new) $99.00
Session Horns Pro $299.00
Supercharger GT $99.00
The Gentleman (new) $99.00
The Graneur (new) $99.00
The Maverick (new) $99.00
Vari Comp $99.00
TOTAL PRICE $2,054.00.
I think $399 is VERY reasonable considering what ya get.
Well two things about that argument:
1) NI deliberately overprices their individual stuff to make it look like you are getting a better deal. They want to push people towards their bundles. They aren't expecting to sell many of these things for their supposed list price. Like Supercharger GT, I'd be amazed if they got more than a couple sales of that ever, it is just not a very interesting compressor for that kind of money.
2) Just because you "get" stuff doesn't mean you care. Like I do not care at all about 50s drummer, drumlab, action strikes, kinetic metal, session horns pro, and supercharger gt. I mean I wouldn't even bother to install them, just not the kind of things I use (session horns pro would potentially be, but I have session horns and don't care for it). Much of the rest I'm very "meh" about. I'd play with it, but it doesn't seem like it is that interesting. Like the synths. I'd try them, but I have serious doubts I'd use them over synthmaster.
Hence, not worth $400 in my opinion, and given it's my $400, my opinion is the one that matters. It needs to be cheaper or I'm going to pass. Particularly in light of the fact that the upgrade is the same price, no matter what version you come from. The K10 upgrade is the same price if you are upgrading from K2 or K9. The K10U is the same price from K8U or K9U. That means that, in all probability, K11U will be the same price coming from K9U as K10U. So there's no incentive to upgrade now since nothing interests me that much. Just wait till the next version and save money.
