I love your videos! You always show me something new. And I just apply that to the VSTs and plug-ins that I already have and I get so many new sounds and ideas. Keep it up!
That's great to hear! Thanks so much Sheridan!
Love all your videos, Jef! So informative on what is available out there. Keep on doin’ what you be doin’ 👍🏻👍🏻
Really appreciate it!! I will...
"Don't spend money on stuff that you don't need!" What great advice, especially when you look at the pluses and minuses of things to equip your audience with the knowledge to let us decide what we might need. Thanks Jef!
Thanks for the breakdown much appreciated I'm stoked.
Thanks!
Bro,
You just made a fan for life
Great job Jef!
Thanks Roberto!
Nice Video Jef! You did a great job putting this info together! I like that you are taking an objective viewpoint on the product. That's refreshing! Subscribing now!
Thanks Studio Tyson, much appreciated!
Thanks for this review. Last month (Aug 2022), I agonized over whether to buy Komplete 13 Ultimate Collector's Edition or wait until v14, whenever that might come. All I wanted initially was Arkis, but once I saw the bundle, I saw a lot of other stuff I wanted, such as Mallet Flux, Cremona Quartet, Session Guitars, and several more. V13 was on sale for 40% off, so I figured that I would buy it, then upgrade to v14 if it seemed worth it. I thought I would have to wait until at least November December, but a week or so after I received the hard drive for v13, v14 was announced. After I saw was in v14, I pre-ordered. I thought that buying v13 then upgrading to v14 would be about the same price as buying v14, or maybe 10 or 20% more. As it happened, I ended up paying 17% less, so buying v13 first was a good move. For me, the update price was really worth it for the new libraries, and applications I wanted: Komplete 7, Ozone 10, more session guitars, Lores, Playbox, Sequis, Ashlight, Action 2 Strings, Melted Vibes, Choir Omnia, East Asia, Session Bassist. It will take me the next 90 years to learn all this stuff.
I’ve had a blast adding my own samples to ash light. Mostly my singers vox, and ambient electric guitar stuff that I tracked.
Great to hear Justin! I haven't even done it myself... but so glad to hear it's working. It's a powerful synth!
@@jefgibbons you gotta try it. So easy. Just drag and drop the wav file onto the waveform in ashlight and it automatically detects the key.
@@JustinMoralesTheComposer Love it, will do, thanks Justin!
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING HOMIE
Nice Anomalie tshirt!
Love NI software and hardware... currently have K13 CE, will wait a few months before upgrading to K14 CE (likely summer of sounds sale, where I'll be able to upgrade for 50%/250€).
Nice overview, love your content Jef!
Good catch Fernando! He's one of my faves... Good call waiting for the SoS sale!
Thanks for the overview Jef! It would be nice if Native Instruments made a new instrument called: Guitar Colors, imagine all different kinds of guitar soundscapes, amp feedback, reverse patterns, talkbox etc. So, basically the guitar version of piano colors. Hopefully, they're reading along ;-)
That's an EXCELLENT suggestion!! Omnisphere has some neat patches like that, but a dedicated library would be sweet!
@@jefgibbons I say colours for all instruments out there! East Asian too! imagine that, I am :)
You are an awesome presenter and educator! Thank you soo much from a novice producer. God speed and good health to ya!
Thanks Ry!! 🙏🏼
All I care from NI is that they bring out that Apple silicon support that they are sooooo behind. I know they promised it but considering they overall attitude towards costumers I choose to believe it when I see it rather then paying them any money again for a 20 yrs old code.
NI website states M1 compatibility is coming early Q4 2022 - likely October.
these work on the new m1 macbook pro you just have to switch out of silicon bro
@@kalkeyz I highly doubt that their whole software catalog will ever be ported to M1. More likely that they will just discontinue stuff like Absynth.
@@gtz999 hopefully they commit. Would love to start using Machine 2.0 natively without kits freezing when previewed 🤞🏼
Apple uses 20yr old code so....
Going from 12CE to 14CE, waiting for the download option to become available, can't wait to have some fun. Quite a lot in there for the money!
I agree, but each person is different I guess… Glad you’re excited, have fun!!!
I know this will be worth it when it’s on sale as a cross grade because I would have upgraded kontakt anyway plus the new included libraries especially all of the session guitarists which are my favorite vsts ever and expansions well worth the money
That sounds awesome
I could just cry 😭 no VST sound beautiful you're inspiring me to start my production business 😎
@@sorry11303 Do it Jeffery! Get going with the free Komplete Start if you can't afford the big packages yet! www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/bundles/komplete-start/
Bought it this weekend and used your affiliate link ;) 💰
Thanks Justin!!
Jef, thanks for your great videos. Unfortunately I missed to order the update via the affiliate link. Therefore I used the Paypal link! Is also better than sending Mozartkugeln or Linzertorte ;-)
In the meantime, I have also treated myself Maschine and now continue to learn from your videos and tutorials. Thanks for this great work you do.
Much appreciated Wolfgang!! Though I would do almost anything for a Mozartkugeln right about now!!! Marzipan deliciousness!!
Would be cool to see a vid on the new Kontakt Factory Library!
I will!
Because I held off on all the releases and Expansions in between 13U and 14 (likely U again), I feel I’m in good shape to make this leap. Still will wait til SOS, because I’m scratching the surface on quite a bit of those. I need to upgrade my MBRP to have more onboard storage before any of this goes down anyway. Thanx again, Jef! 💯🎶🔥
Yes… SOS is great if you can wait!!
It’s such a stupid system. NI essentially promotes people who own Komplete to not buy anything until the next Komplete drops cuz they don’t give any extra discounts based on how many instruments you already own. They need to really improve their model
@@krispybowgod9656 …or, since most VST folks run models that ain’t much better, you figure out what works best until either it doesn’t or another works better. Waves Update is a bigger sham than this, IMO, and now that Arturia does the V Col bundled with the FX suites, it’ll be a matter of time before that’s just as bad to some as NI is now to some. 🤷🏾♂️💯🤣
@@krispybowgod9656 I definitely think it should be tiered for what version you are upgrading from... would entice people to update more often I'm sure!
Love the channel Jef, been a lurker since I bought Komplete standard last year and seeing you jam out expansions and new instruments reminds me its the person that makes good music, not the gear (even though the NI sounds scream inspiration). I was wondering if you know if NI does staged time zone releases or if there is a flat time it will release world wide. Thanks for all you do for us.
Thanks Caelen! Yeah, it’s usually just one release time which is around 5pm Berlin time…
@@jefgibbons Oh jeez another 12 hours for me then haha. Feels like when I was waiting for midnight releases of video games as a kid all over again 😂. Thanks again
hey! which version of koplete 14 is it? Standard ? Ultimate?. Thank you in advance for your answer!
Greetings from Poland !
Is that a monitor or a TV? I’m digging it!
Jeff, watching this cos i finally went Ultimate, ur a god at cinematic composition, but it still hurts my soul that you were using Push 2 and had Maschine Jam in a cupboard - Jam is a better Ableton controller than push since they released the Live 11 templates. I went so far out of my way to find a Jam, theres nothing else like it.
You really should do a 'Maschine Jam in 2023' video, maybe try running Maschine with just the S61 Mk2 and the Jam since they are the best things for Maschine and both now discontinued. I have wanted to try that setup for years.
That’s how I do SoundDesign…go through the patches, try to understand how it was constructed, star that bad boy and keep it movin’!
Yes… this!!
Sooo many to go through - such a long, but fun process
Jeff is making some of that royalty free YT sounding music! 🤗
Not my thing but it can get you paid if your track is used in some popular videos.
@Jef Gibbons great vid as always. I own K13 CE and I plan to upgrade to the top trier of Komplete 14. I plan on getting the MK3 at the same time.Are you running in Rosetta or Native with your MK3? I have a M1 Max so I'm just trying to get a feel for how things will work for me.
I’m in Rosetta, they just announced M1 coming in the next few weeks… but it’s working great in Rosetta…
@@jefgibbons 🙏🏿
Hi there Jef. Just discovered your channel after updating to Komplete 14 Ultimate, (using Cubase Pro 12). I have been composing & producing music for a while professionally. I love your approach and exploration of software and how very versatile you are. Subscribed and ready to get on board to learn and develop my skills further.
One question, I upgraded to Komplete 14 Ultimate (from 13 Ultimate), however on first load, Kontakt 7 didn’t load, it was still defaulting to K6? Any idea why this is?? Anyone who has done this and had the same issue, please could you let me know what I’ve done wrong. I simply just downloaded and installed 14Ultimate from the interface.
Have a great day everyone!
Thanks,
Paul, U.K. Sheffield
I hope I can buy the Kontakt
i think kontakt 7 is out now plus the new factory library
Is Kontakt 7 included? Or is it a “free” upgrade if you already own 13?
Is there a way to try the instruments then buy them individually?
One thing I don't quite get...what instrument do you get by just buying Kontakt 7 Komplete, rather than the 14 bundles? I couldn't quite figure that out.
Has anyone else got Kontakt 7 available? Mine showed up in native access, so i installed it :)
where you get the hoodie.love it
Home made!! My kid’s a pro with the Cricut
The Cello is amazing. Is that collectors edition only? Is there a native type flute anywhere in Komplete?
The flutes in Lores are great, but that’s CE I think… wait until we see what’s in Kontakt 7! Cello is CE I think too…
@@jefgibbons I guess I have Champagne
taste…. :)
can you make 1 on superior drummer ?
Hi greetings from Miami! I saw you have touché in this video, it’s possible to work touché with Komplete Kontrol? Thanks in advance🤝
what's that astronaut looking thing on your Adam audio monitors? thanks.
It’s a JVC Videosphere!!
Great video as always BUT this is a review for Komplete 14 Ultimate NOT Komplete 14 standard. Quite a few instruments reviewed here are NOT included in the standard 14
This will be the first Komplete I haven’t upgraded to. I have komplete ultimate collectors edition 13 but there really is nothing in this update that warrants me paying $796 au
It’s a lot of money! I used to always skip one generation myself…
The upgrade price from K13CE to K14CE really could have been better.
Gotta wait till next year for me :(
literally just looking at this - I think they ran a 50% off sale Dec 5th last time for cyber week or something like that
Yeah, I think they jacked it up this time... is that right?
@@jefgibbons yes price went up by 200.00
Correction update from CE 13 to CE 14 is 499.99 US Dollars
@@knightwalker5434 Pretty sure I pointed it out in my last video on K14... yeah, it got pricier!
Still trying to hold off buying the Ultimate edition until the sale next year 😬
Stay strong King!!
You’ve got an amazing last name… if that is it!
@@jefgibbons Thank you! 🙏🏿
I've always liked the alliteration of my name 🙂
My DJ name used to be dreddiknight, then I changed it to Mr King, because it gave me an ego boost 😉
@@dreddiknight I'd be all over that!!
Why do you use Maschine instead of Cubase in most of your videos? I have the software installed but I never used it or knew it was a DAW....
I hope im wrong but Komplete 14 has this thin vst sound to it and ive heard alot of instruments in it and it all has the same tinny sound to it.
I’ve never noticed this before, compared to other synths?
@@jefgibbonsYea like komplete isn’t bad but compared to other synths it has a tinny tone to it and a lot of it is cheesy. How ever there are good sound in komplete 14 but as for me I would quickly have buyers remorse after buying it and you can not return software. As i stated before to a lot of the 3rd party stuff in kontakt actually sounds better. If I had a choice between komplete 14 and onmi sphere I would choose onmi the quality of their sounds is rich
haha! @1:00 ... i think we are all guilty of spending money on things we don't need at some point. :P
So lets say you have just around $400 Would you upgrade from komplete select 13 to komplete 14 standard or rather upgrade from Cubase 12 elements to Cubase 12 Pro. >?
Oh dang that’s tough!!!
What features are drawing you to Cubase Pro? If you need vari-audio for tuning it is fantastic… (on vocals) but I wouldn’t go to Cubase Pro for the instruments or fx, k14 would be better there… are you recording more audio or more beats/ virtual instruments type stuff?
If I upgrade to 14 standard from 13 ultimate do I still keep everything that came with 13 ultimate but isn’t included with 14 standard? 😬
Yes. 🙂
They would never take stuff away from you... I think you're good!
👍🏾
Will Komplete 14 replace kontakt 5 and 6 or it will keep the 3 Kontakt instances 5, 6 and 7?
Thank you,
My Kontakt 6 instance is still available after the update.
@@WolfgangGrabner thank you!
@@WolfgangGrabner thank you!
What time you think it'll drop? I am waiting. It's past 12am GMT and Berlin Time.
Usually it’s 5pm Berlin time! Sorry to say…
Nooooo I can't wait 😭
@@jefgibbons Ah, I wondered why it still wasn't in Native Access... (6am GMT here).
Got my Native Instruments 14 at 1:45 am western time. 😁
@@SeriousTipStudio same. Still downloading. I'm trying not to dl everything because it's gonna take forever to find what's new 🙃
Can people remember the upgrade discounts and when they come?
From memory they run a sale in early December that can go up to 50% off on the upgrade from CE13 to 14?
There are definitely people out there that have spreadsheets for this kind of thing! The main one that seems to come around is the Summer of Sound sale... can't remember what happens on Black Friday after a release... anyone?
@@jefgibbons Black Friday won't have K14 on discount. Summer of sale will.
That's usually how it goes.
@@parboilrice Backing up Raees on this. I got into NI hardware/software in early 2019. Black Friday has been hardware/Komplete bundle discounts that had me wishing I had known about them before. Unfortunately, I didn't know about the Summer of Sound 50% off Komplete upgrades until weeks after it happened. Upgraded from Select (came with the S61 MkII keyboard) to Standard at regular price. Then waited around for Black Friday, was bummed about no Komplete upgrade discounts, found out about Summer of Sound, had no patience to wait seven months and upgraded to 12CU the expensive way. After buying a few post K13 app releases, I realized I needed to decide on waiting for K14 and get two years of app releases or buy just buy apps I want one off vs. paying twice. Skipped the last two Summer of Sound upgrades expecting K14 this fall and here it is. Now the real test of patience for $250 next June of $500 tomorrow.
Another word of advice in case K13 was your first bundle version, even if you wait for Summer of Sound and get 50% off next June, you will only get the apps you'd get buying K14 tomorrow. Anything released after tomorrow will be part of K15 (two years again?).
@@parboilrice That sounds about right, thanks Raees!
why are there no Kontakt 7 videos?
Mine still isn't working! I don't think anyone had it before today...
You missed a little detail 😂

Tsk tsk. If YOU were looking closer you’d have noticed the day change in the screen capture!
@@jefgibbons Zoom and enhance :) great work as ever.
@@badbelly not to mention the slight 5:00 shadow! ;)
I am waiting for new Kontakt player. I really don't like Komplete Kontrol
The browser in software is rough… looking for a patch and only seeing 4 results in the tiny lower area is not good…
IS KOMPLETE KONTROL NOW HIDPI ?
From what I can tell nothing has changed... I think it's just the Kontakt browser in K7
I just need kontakt and ozone 10 😅
I think Kontakt 7 is cheaper than 6 used to be so that’s a bonus for you!
@@jefgibbons I got notification in my mail for a discount on upgrade from Komplete 13 to 14 and then I have upgrade path for ozone advanced... Seems more convenient and more bang for a buck to get it in a bundle 😅😁🤔
@@DaveChipsIt's not Ozone advanced in Komplete though... just the basic things in Ozone 10 Standard. So it still might be better if you really don't need the stuff in K14. But if Ozone Standard is enough for you K14 makes a lot of sense!
@@jefgibbons I'm basically in need only for kontakt and ozone.
Feel like those two in separate buy come close to price of komplete 14.
Also since I have K13 there should be some discounts on a package wich might be decent. And after that just a matter of time when izotope is gonna do some black friday/cyber Monday type deals for a crossgrade to advanced version.
@@DaveChips Sounds good Dave, I'm working on a Kontakt video... should be up in a day or two, so make sure to check that before you buy it... just to make sure it's what you want. What are you hoping to get from it? Do you have an old version?
Great info, But NI is a Nightmare without iLock. Thanks but no thanks. First and foremost: Could you please help us get NI to use iLock or simpler licensing method because we have too many large files on drives. . Please help us otherwise it is a waste having so many good sounds that we cannot reach or access at will. Most of us are upgrading our apple computers with smaller drives: it becomes a NIGHTMARE keeping up with NI licenses limited to 2 computers...
I am looking to sell my KOMPLETE 14 ULTIMATE DL (Download). I paid $880 total for the package of all the instruments, i was wondering if 1. It is possible to sell it to someone and 2. Is anyone here looking to buy it off of me ? The Komplete Ultimate regular price goes for $1600 CA. If anyone can help me with some info that would be awesome, thanks for your time, take care.
Komplete scam is backkkk ahah xxD
KONTAKT and KOMPLETE KONTROL sucks ! Ancient software with endless issues. Interface unreadable, not scalable, with major features missing.
These two are the worst program for music production I have ever seen. KONTAKT HAS TO BE REBUILD FROM THE GROUND-UP !
Man, I agree it needs scaling! Won't argue with you there... but maybe stop the rampage over here...
@@jefgibbons The rampage. 😂I like that!
NI just move too fast. No one needs all this crap.
Why should I subscribe to a permanent advertisement channel? So pointless. Yeah I got it, NI pays enough for these advertisements
Thanks Sam.
Speaking of pointless...
🙄
Did you even watch the video?
Can I use Komplete 14 on the Arthurian key lab and or the launchpad pro?
