Native Instruments recently launched the Summer of Sound sale, offering a 50% discount on various products. However, you can get an even lower price on Kontakt with a crossgrade trick we’ll discuss today.
It is undeniable that Kontakt is the leading sample player plugin in the industry. There are thousands of great Kontakt libraries you can purchase and hundreds of Kontakt libraries you can download for free.
However, there’s a catch.
If you’re using the freeware Kontakt Player, you will encounter the “demo mode” limitation for most libraries, especially free ones. This means that you can only play them for a maximum of fifteen minutes at a time.
Unless a library is designed for Kontakt Player, it will only function in demo mode. The only way to unlock these libraries is to upgrade to the full version of Kontakt.
The recently launched Summer of Sound sale is an excellent opportunity to upgrade since the full version of Kontakt now costs €149.50
However, the little-known secret is that you can get an even better price with a crossgrade.
But how do you crossgrade to the latest version if you don’t already own Kontakt?
How To Get Kontakt For €99.50
It’s a simple trick, really. You should download and register one of the free Kontakt libraries we listed on BPB.
Most libraries should be compatible with the offer. Our reader Darryl Lim recently reported that he got a successful crossgrade after registering Heavyocity Foundations.
The library must be registered to the Native Instruments account you’ll use for the crossgrade. So, ensure you’re registered and logged in before visiting the Kontakt product page.
When you visit the page, you should see the €99.50 crossgrade. And if you already own a previous version of Kontakt, you will see the €49.50 upgrade price.
From here on, it’s pretty straightforward. Simply select the best available offer, click the ADD TO SHOPPING CART button, and hope that you didn’t already spend all your money on plugins.
Summer of Sound 2023
Obviously, you can get many other deals during the Summer of Sound 2023 sale. However, I highlighted Kontakt because owning the full version opens the door to countless free libraries and some of the best sounds you can add to your DAW.
To explore other deals, visit the Summer of Sound page.
Get the deal: Kontakt 7 (add Heavyocity Foundations or a similar free library to your NI account to get the crossgrade offer)
