Kontakt 5 Full Version vs Kontakt Free Player

I explain the difference between Native Instruments' Kontakt 5 Full Version sampler vs the Kontakt Free Player! It's simple!

And please, support us independent sample developers who cannot fund the licensing cost to bring our sample libraries to the Kontakt Free Player! If you can blow $3K PLUS on a synthezier workstation, then you do not have the right to complain about Kontakt 5's $399 price! That $399 is granting you access to ENDLESS amounts of sample based instruments, physically modeled instruments, hybrids and MORE! Kontakt is not a sound, it is a platform that will NEVER go out of style! Unlike your hardware keyboards....

Hats off to you little brother. It's good to hear someone like you calling a customer a customer and not try and sound important by saying client. They are not clients. That right there makes you sound professional. Good luck and don't give

[stavrosafxentiou]

Great! I was looking info about this for hours. This answered all my questions

[JuanLopezmusica]

Thank you for explaining all my questions 🙏🏽

[theodorn]

Thank you for this great explanation, been wondering about the difference between Kontakt 5 Player and Kontakt full, and you explain it so well.

[tswarns]

Good way of putting that out there bro not to mention as a developer you'd have to send your product to germany literally for NI to re code it, etc costing you much $$$$. People cant be mad dawg lol

[raghavmusic]

Very good informative video 👍GOD BLESS YOU👌😊

[ToneCabinet]

Great explanation, Daryl. Thanks for sharing your wisdom

[terrydan]

Thank you, man! Great explanation. Kontakt is a bit confusing about this. You just saved me a lot of hassle.

[SIRROBERTTHEKEYTARMINATOR]

Glad you cleared that up!Couldn't figure out how to get stuff outta demo mode...man that sux for the little guy!

[VFXCommander]

Thanks for the honesty and perfect explanation!

[ethansmith]

Thank you for this info! I was worried that the free Kontakt player was only a demo lol, this was extremely helpful

[imjustplaying]

Well explained. I downloaded some HQSounds and then i hit demo mode, couldnt understand why i can have natives libraries going forever but not 3rd party, this helped. BTW I also bought komplete selection pack, this does also NOT give you the full version of the Kontakt Player...

[anthonyaraiza]

monitors $500+, interface $200, computer $1000, midi keyboard $100, microphone $200, kontakt 5 $400, any other vst probably $200-$500. Why do they hate us!!!? I'm tired of having to spend money just to get that professional sound. no wonder we hear the same bullshit on the radio. only the wealthy or well connected get help and keep getting it. musical equipment is waaay overpriced.

i really love to see the m-audio keystation 88 pro in the background :)

[孙悟穷]

Nice tutorial! I have a question: I wanna buy some Native Instruments library, but I don't have Midi, can I use them with my PC keyboard or mouse?

[rjonesmusic]

Thx for explaining this! Will you also do a short tutorial on how to use the controller by M-Audio that in the background of this video. I have one and i want to learn how to properly use it. It would be greatly appreciated!

[patrickwilliams]

Keep Grinding. Great info. You will get where you need to be..

[apkeeney]

So functionally they are exactly the same?

[TrebleFM]

i brought the kontakt cross grade to use a 3rd party instrument and i can't register it?

[jamesaf]

So, if I'm just going to use the Symphony Series - Collection which one should I get? I'm still confused on if I should get the free one or the one that costs money. Also, I'm not sending my music to anyone I'm just listening it to myself.
