So all the 'its too expensive' stuff kinda falls by the wayside.ĭownload install and register Drummica. Just for grins I went and had a look on sennheisers site and drummica is STILL there and still free. Start saving up for the next sale and that's it. So, you can stop dreaming about it, it won't happen.

And even if Kontakt sometimes reaches end of life, other tied in products (before mentioned Solid EQ, compressors, etc.) might still continue their life, and since that is the same code in Kontakt, by extension it would not be allowed to exist in any other recompiled or reverse engineered form, as that is ILLEGAL and NI CAN SUE WHOEVER ATTEMPTS THIS. Nobody is allowed to pry into that intellectual property that is held by NI, and while Kontakt is still a living product. See GigaStudio situation and how we now have GPlayer, for example.īut it is going to be MUCH harder to do the same thing for Kontakt, because of: proprietary binary file format, NI-specific DSP code in Kontakt 5 effects and filters (AET filter, Solid EQ, Solid Bus Comp, Feedback Comp, Transient Master etc.), scripting engine, and so on. In case NI discontinues Kontakt completely, then it's going to be possible. No, there is a lot of proven information in this thread. Making a compatible sampler is in no and has never been illegal, even if it's a proprietary format. I'd rather be able to buy samples by a great editor like Indiginus for instance. It's a decent price, but it's still $360/year for libraries that you don't own. The only alternative is the EastWest cloud. They can be occasionally helpful, but you aren't gonna play a guitar or a violin with soundfonts. True in many places, but not true in the domain of samples.Įverybody knows the soundfonts can't replace the commercial libraries for making instruments with realistic articulations, else companies would sell soundfonts instead of Kontakt libraries. These days, no one can claim they can't make their music because they're poor.'

It's totally saturated with great free and cheap software alternatives and decent budget hardware. 'Any talk of companies abusing their position or evil corps sucking people dry is absolute nonsense in the field of computer audio. But when there is an entry barrier set by NI, one cannot buy these libraries and feed their authors. There is a reason there are sample libraries at less than $50, it's because some people can't afford libraries at hundreds of $. So yes, I repeat there is a dire need for a compatible player.Īs a non professional, I can't justify putting €400 into this piece of software. The discounted crossgrade at €125 would be interesting if I didn't have to wait every other year (if I'm lucky) to benefit from it. Komplete might be interesting value, but Kontakt alone isn't and the price is set so high that the logic is to force the buyer to think 'I may as well buy Komplete'.Even the crossgrade price is ridiculous.

It's been done countless times both in software and hardware.Īlso, the perception of what is the 'right price' is personal, but it's hard to argue that there is in Kontakt as much work put into it than in, say Microsoft Office or Adobe softwares, or even the average DAW, so selling it at €399 is completely ludicrous. Making a compatible sampler is in no way and has never been illegal, even if it's a proprietary format.

There is a lot of nonsense in this thread.
