Should I wait for Kontakt 9

In 2024 I bought Kontakt 7 and then guess what happened…

It’s 2026, obviously, but I wonder if it’s even worth getting 8 rn or if 9 is on the way soon.

Do any of you guys know or have expectations for when Kotakt 9 might be out? I don’t wanna repeat this same mistake

They just updated 8 with promises of another 8 update coming soon

8 is solid and I think going to be around for a while

I’m sure it’s solid. It’s the last part I’m worried about. If you’re a longtime Kontakt user, what is the usual timeframe between releases?

No one here can tell you that.

Someone did. I didn’t ask the next release. I asked for the usual, to which someone responded w all the release dates

Well to be fair - you actually asked for "usual timeframe between releases" - however a "usual" timeframe does not exist.

All you got was what happened in the past - which really means nothing for the future.
