Kontakt Player enabled libraries pay NI a fee for every copy. Lots of developers don't want to do that, so you'll see them say you need Kontakt Full. And the free stuff, e.g. on Pianobook, will require it (or another sampler, but Kontakt is king for now).@proxima , okay , I need to do more research. I thought full Kontakt was only for rolling your own sample libraries and that the player was for playing back existing libraries. Looks like I can upgrade to standard which includes the full Kontakt for $269 I may do that, learn it all and then make the next jump when the next sale arrives. … I really wish there were demo versions. Anyway, thanks again for the advice.
As for a demo, your Komplete Select basically is. Komplete Standard and Komplete Ultimate is just way way more where that came from. Komplete Standard is another great deal, and as you said, Ultimate can come later.
No demo for Omnisphere sure, but there are a billion walkthroughs of it on youtube. You might even start with the Unfinished preset libraries for Omnisphere to see what you think.
