    It would be nice if they release a 14, but that would probably be detrimental to any plan to go with a full blown subscription model, an expanded version of Komplete NOW. That's the direction a lot of companies are going and if they're letting us buy a Komplete 14, who is going to go with a subscription? I may be wrong, but I'm thinking there isn't going to be a 14 even though they're running a sale on 13.

    Subscription model is great for newcomers to NI. Best way to grow user base at this point.

    Primarily only current owners will be considering to purchase K14, and the only as a upgrade price.

    Newcomers paying big ticket full K14.... those days are basically over.

    NI has made it pretty clear in the past that a subscription only model won't happen anytime soon for Komplete. Also, NOW - as a separate product - is meant for a specific target audience: people who want to begin somewhere, but don't want to drop a lot of cash on e.g. Komplete 13.

    K14 comming in 5-10 weeks (end of September - end of October). Is my bet. Maybe even few weeks sooner....

    Most likely an early October release based on previous releases, very hopeful Izotope plugins will be part of the Komplete package now.

    Mainly, VST3 for all users and AS native support for Mac users....

    Guess something should pop up soon/immediately after the ongoing Komplete 13 sale ends.

    Let's hope for a September announcement and an October release. Can't wait!

    My guess is, it should be 3 to 8 weeks till K14 release (That is period in which AS native support and VST3 should come.). Probably at least month after the end of K13 sale....

    The K13 sales ends tomorrow, so hoping for some information on K14 after that. 😀

    There is new kontakt library it seems: Omnia.

    Alongside the returning classics, this incarnation of Komplete’s Ultimate Collector’s Edition boasts some serious firepower. Kontakt 7 is the latest version of the award-winning sample engine, fully loaded to handle Komplete 14’s extensive sonic pantheon. Vocal instrumentations come in two distinct varieties. Omnia introduces a robust array of symphonic choirs, ranging from the sublime to the cinematic. Lores, on the other hand, is engineered to weave a story worthy of its mythical connotation, with woodwinds, chordophones, engrossing vocals, and a bevy of dynamic control..
