Question About Included Effects in Komplete 8

I just bought Komplete 8 and I am considering the upgrade to ultimate. Since I am kind of new to NI and Komplete products I just wanted to ask about some of the plugs. For instance it appears that I can only use Reflektor from within Guitar Rig. Is that that the same with all of the effect plugins? Like the 1176 and the LA2A plugs the come with ultimate.

I'm hoping not as I would love to be able to even use Reflektor just by itself on a send channel without having to load up Guitar Rig. It just seems like a bulky way to do things. Is there a reason for that? It would seem even more cumbersome to me to be loading up an 1176 as an insert on a channel but having to do it through Guitar rig. It's such a big window when all I want to look at are the parameters of the effect that I want to load.

I realize as I am new here that there could be a way to load up just the effect that I want but I just don't know how. I am using Studio One and the effects themselves don't show up unless I install Guitar Rig.

 

Ok, I am going to assume that all of the powered by Guitar Rig effects can only be opened in Guitar Rig. So I'll just have to get used to bulky.

Its interesting, pls give more information about it...

 

NI has saved development time by using Guitar Rig as vehicle to deliver effects.

So all of the Komplete 8 Ultimate effects (Rammfire, Reflektor, Solid Mix Series, Traktors 12, Transient Master, and the Vintage Compressors) all run within Guitar Rig 5.

 

Thanks, again Martin. I think I can get used to this kind of process. No choice really, but at least the quality is top notch. I'm going to just create a bunch of insert and send racks for various instruments and vocals. I'm sure that's what everyone else does, its just taking me a bit to get familiar with all this NI. I just ordered the upgrade to ultimate. I can't wait for it to arrive.
