This could be a super deal for anyone wanting to buy the full version of Kontakt. People on the NI forum are saying that DrumMica qualifies you for a cross-grade.

And, DrumMic'a is free. All you have to do is work your way through the German only website, download, install and authorise it and you are good to go!

Assuming this works it makes DrumMic's the freebee of the decade.
 

I went to check what the current Kontakt crossgrade prices is, but you can only see this if you have a qualifying product in your account.
 
I know there is a deal on Komplete at the moment but I was still suprised to see Komplete 9 is going for the same price as Kontakt 5! Who is going to pay $399 for Kontakt if you gan get it and all the other stuff in Komplete for the same price?
 
It looks like there are crossgrades if you are buying Komplete but I am not sure if the DrumMic'a would qualify?????

Price for the Kontakt cross-grade seems to be "secret" unless you own a qualifying product (i an sure larry can dig it out though!0. If one had known about this a while back it would have been a good way to get Kontakt for $150
 
Looks like the Komplete Crossgrade is from Maschine, Reaktor, Kontakt and GR5 Kontrol.

I just bought some new drum mics.
 
;-)
 
Luv 'em.

The crossgrade price is $249.00

I HIGHLY recommend picking one up on KVR...ususally about $150...but,
but the time you paid $150 for Kontakt and $199 for the crossgrade to Komplete,
you might as well just Pay the $399.00 and be done with it.

Right now Guitar Center has 15% off eGift Cards.  Buy a $400 eGift card for $340,

Cheers!

Undoubtedly Komplete is by far the best deal by a long shot, but for someone that does not need the extra applications and content or cannot afford the extra $100 a cross grade from a free product is a good deal.

Totally agree!

There's a lot of goodie goodness in Komplete...just in Kontakt content alone...so 
take that into consideration...

It is true Dub...and, IMO, even without being cross-gradable...it was 
a very robust freebie...but that just, as you said, makes in one of the 
best ever!
