Kontakt 11 released soon?

[Paulie]

I'm hearing rumblings in the social media world about Native Instruments getting ready to release Kontakt 11. Anyone else heard anything? I'm still barely scratching the surface of version 10 right now, it was released in October 2014.

Haven't heard yet...I wonder what we can expect from the new version... also I thought Kontakt was on version 5... my only real update request is to add something similar to Reason NN-XT sampler, where it has the option to "set root note from pitch detection", which automatically sets the sample to its root note on the keyboard. One of the few things I miss about Reason sampler....that and the pitch bend knob that could add a pitch bend to any sample with ease.

Anyone else have update/feature requests for Kontakt (probably gonna be v6) ??

If you go to NI's own website, you'll find this.. https://www.native-instruments.com/en/p ... /komplete/

Sweet! I don't have Komplete, only Kontakt, FM8, and Massive separately - so I wonder if Kontakt will have its own update..

I think they released that page today. Thanks for the link!

Marcus, looks like Kontakt is going to v 5.6

its interesting how Heavyocity is no longer being bundled with Ultimate package. Like Since Damage they haven't had any new products in the mix.

Since they are naming it Kontakt 5.6 and not Kontakt 6, I'm thinking it could be a free update for us Kompete 10'rs.
I can't find serious reasons to update from Komplete 10 to 11 at this point.
I use Omnisphere for almost all my synth stuff.

When they offer Komplete 6 with updated orchestral samples, GTR Rig 6, and other updates (some of the products in Komplete 11 are getting quite old) I can justify upgrading.
