how do you get the Kontakt’s Band Ensemble plugin?

hello so I recently saw that in the blog post for The "110 best free
Kontakt instruments in 2025" posted October 2 that there was a plugin called Kontakt’s Band Ensemble I have seen this plugin before and thought it looked interesting so when I clicked the link to download it took me to the Komplete start page witch I don't think its included anymore and Im not sure you where else you can get it and if you can't get it anymore why is it in the blog then?. I also think there was other plugins in the Komplete start bundle that you also can't get anymore why is that? it would've been nice if they could have put a link for the plugins somewhere at least. anyway if somebody knows how to get the plugin please let me know thanks!

That Band Ensemble is part of the free Kontakt Factory Selection 2 (and paid Library) found in Komplete Start. Looks like the blog entry uses a screenshot taken from the first version.

I also think there was other plugins in the Komplete start bundle that you also can't get anymore why is that?

Any name that you can think of?

hello okay that makes sense now that the plugin is in the Kontakt Factory Selection 2 plugin thanks! also I know hybrid keys micro prism and trk-01 was apart of komplete start but now there paid plugins but here is a list of other plugins I saw:blocks base urban beats lazer bass space drone news cool Kinetic Treats Carbon 2 and expansion sounds. there might be more but those are the only ones I could find there are rather not available or not free anymore and I don't know why they do that why would you want to pay for a plugin that was free? anyway where would there be a way to get any of those plugins I know for instance block base isn't availablewhen you start up Reaktor 6 player it says the plugin is not found and I don't know where to get it I'm not sure if its important or not. anyway thanks for your response!

This post is very difficult to read.

Any chance you could break this down to a sentence or two that does not all run together?

okay! plugins that were in the komplete start bundle such as the one listed are not there anymore and are rather paid or not available and I'm not sure why it is like that? hopefully this help!

That is because the Komplete Start bundle changes year to year. Product moves in and out each time the bundle changes.

Been like this for a while now.
