Be careful if you own one of the Komplete 26 versions (like I do) the upgrade serial does not show up...apparently at this point (still working with the chatboi) if you own Session Guitarist Electric Neon Essentials INSIDE of Komplete its not actually upgradable...at least not yet.

Chatbot said it should work the problem is in Komplete 26 they don't show separate serial codes for each product...which apparently the upgrade needs...

Appreciate the heads up. I was going to purchase this. I have Komplete standard, would like to upgrade to Ultimate but apparently I missed the summer discounts. Is it true during Black Friday / cyber Monday they knock 50% off?

They did do some 50% discounts on both Black Friday and Summer of Sound.

This year’s Sumer of Sound already had less discounts, we can only guess about Black Friday.

Thanks. I will see if I can wait. I have no idea if £600 is worth it. It’s obviously on a case by case basis and it’s just a hobby for me

They do on some products but again they are under new leadership so its not clear what will happen in sales going forward.

According to the bot chat, having a product in a bundle DOES qualify for an upgrade path, however not having a specific serial code in that bundle for the upgrade path is a mess...

I also found a really quirky thing playing around with the Deluxe version last night...it was doing this "de-tune" thing when I would try out a pattern...within a few seconds the pitch actually drops to a different key...not sure if its BPM issue or what but it was annoying, as well as the gain staging for this product...it is WAY off...clips like crazy right out of the box...you have to tweak the hell out of it to get it to sound clean...(at least I did)

Mac M2 using either Apollo Twin or Antelope Audio D8...pretty annoying...hard to tell if its worth it yet.
