What I would like to know, since I've just begun exploring these sounds, is: does Kontakt 6 ever go on sale? It's $399. If you already have this, or other expansions, then the sale above offers 50% off the updates. But if you don't have it, it seems there is only the fixed retail price. True?


No. As I recall, it's been on sale for half-price two or three times in the past twelve months. Also, you can get it as an upgrade ~$140 if you own a qualifying Kontakt Player library, some of which are inexpensive and a few are free, like Embertone's Arcane, Evolution Series' World Colors Clar-Duduk, ProjectSAM's The Free Orchestra, and a few more from Soniccouture:

I'm not sure how the Kontakt Player instruments in the free Komplete Start package apply (Play Series Selection, Kinetic Treats, etc.) but one would think . . .
