Yes, and watching Mike Greene's demo videos is always a blast.

However, the library also needs to the full version of Kontakt to run, so that's an additional expense.

That said, if you purchased a Kontakt libraries that requires authorization, you're probably eligible for a crossgrading from Kontakt Player to Kontakt full. So instead of paying the regular $399, you can get it for $249.

Plus, Native Instruments is running their 50% crossgrade promotion until July 1, 2018, so a crossgrade is only $124.50. I happened to have a couple of eligible libraries, so I finally upgraded to Kontakt full the other day.

Now I don't have to keep reloading Kontakt every 15 minutes when my inexpensive libraries time out! smile

I should note that Embertone has a couple of very cool (and inexpensive) instruments that require the full version of Kontakt - Chapman Trumpet and Sensual Sax.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
