Buy Komplete Kontrol Update Komplete For Free

Been a few days with no response from NI. No updates from Sweetwater's tech support either yet.

 

I bought my S49 over the weekend from Absolute music and originally the product came without the Komplete 10 update. After reading this thread I called them.
Absolute posted me the physical disks which arrived next day. Great service. Apparently NI are telling the resellers to send the physical disks out with the hardware for this offer.
As soon as I activated Komplete 10 in the service centre, Komplete Kontrol also became active.

Hope this helps.

 

Yeah same I got in touch with both NI and my reseller "Soundseasy" and the reseller is providing the disks not NI. The reseller was happy to help and are sending out the disks

 

Thanks all - have asked Sweetwater. Wonder what happens to those that buy from a retail store, like Guitar Center, though?

 

I got mine from Guitar Center who refused to give me the update since I purchased the keyboard before May 2015 promotion, Even NI costumer service avoid to actually "give" service and tell me they can't help me but offering "komplete select" = a few demo plug-ins I already have, maybe now when Akai release their keyboard they might wake up and change their attitude, total waist of $ and energy!

 

At long last a reply from NI:-
Thank you for contacting Native Instruments.

You´ll receive your free update directly from your retailer, so please get in
contact with the shop where you bought your keyboard.

If you have any more questions, please don´t hesitate to contact us directly via
this E-Mail.

Best regards
Andre, Native Instruments Support Team

Well that's it, because I bought my S61 before the offer no upgrade.
I would not have minded paying 50% of the upgrade price,. NI could have given there early adopters a bit of a perk.
Still what did I really expect?

 

Well I will holding out until they offer a 50% off upgrade path to Ultimate 10 or even 11. The silver lining here is that our keyboards are going to gain increased functionality and that is really all that matters to me. As an owner of maschine and S61 I'll be getting 2 Komplete Select bundles. Hopefully I can transfer them to a pal or sell them for a little cash as I have everything in the bundles already.

 

How are they demo plugins?

How are they demo plugins?
If you purchased it before the offer then it's down to you , you obviously thought it was worth the money to make the purchase.
This is an incentive to people who didn't feel that way

 

you won't be able to sell these bundles.

Sowari, do you know if I will be able to give them to a friend? I have a pal with some serious mental health issues but and true passion for music. I'd like to give him a select bundle. It would make his day for sure.

 

to be honest, i don't know.

it is possible that the licenses are dependent on your ownership of Maschine or Komplete Kontrol.

maybe it could be seen as a second computer and you could install one of the Select Bundles?

you should contact Support.

Sweetwater shipped out the Komplete 10 upgrade disks to me (overnight!) so all is good now.

First REAL impressions - this is easily the best keyboard I've bought (and I've tried a bunch and Automap) and the software integration with Komplete is amazing. It is opening up Komplete to me more than ever before. This is really amazing. 100% worth the price.

 

It is a great product and Komplete is amazing. For those of us who had a taste of an earlier product called Kore, we miss the incredible functionality that was (and is available) in that discontinued product. The good news is that competition is spurring NI to catch up with themselves as they were way ahead of the competition several years ago and ironically way ahead of where they (NI) are as of today. Congratulations on your purchase. The combination of software and hardware is incredible. - Scotty

 

What an incredibly kind gesture. I've been through the ringer due to my mental health and getting back into making music has helped so much. Thankfully i'm in a better place now.

I hope you get an answer from NI and its what you want.

 

I fear, that Select will be activated with the serial of the keyboard ... we will see.

Meanwhile he might try Komplete Player, which is free and has also some nice instruments included.

 

I bought KK61 and mikkro a few months ago from Sweetwater so no special promotions for me either....I have K9U from the promotion they did 2 xmas's ago....I was hoping they'd do that promotion again this past xmas so I could get K10U for $199 but they didn't so I'm still at K9U....Now they aren't offering this promotion for 50% off to people who already own a KK board....There's TWO missed opportunities to take my money NI....I personally can't justify $400 for the differences between K9U to K10U.....It's been long enough now I'll probably just wait for K11U....That said, I LOVE the KK/Mikkro system....Beats the crap out of any workstation keyboard I've owned and it's been many!....ZR

 

To be serious were you really sick?

 

What sort of question is that? plain hostility and nasty.

You don't know me,and i definitely don't make sh*t up about mental health.And to be serious, if you want to continue the conversation in private i'll tell you what i know about mental health and how it took over my life and how it effected everyone close to me.

I was being polite to the guy with a compliment.
I don't actually remember being horrible to you or aiming the post at you, so keep your nasty comments to yourself.

 

No man I was being sincere. My best friend has cancer and my other friend has lupus I hope you get better with whatever it is or are/were going through.
