Komplete Start not including Reaktor Player anymore
As of today the new Komplete Start does not include Reaktor Player, Reaktor Factory Selection R2, Blocks Base, Micro Prism, TRK Bass & TRK Kick anymore.
Reaktor Player, Blocks Base & Micro Prism are still available for free separately, but I find it very odd that NI completely (kompletely?) removed all Synths from Komplete Start. Maybe someone from NI can chime in and explain why you're actively preventing new users from discovering Reaktor?

If they remove anything from a 'free' bundle then most likely they will plan to either retire the product or add the product to a paid bundle. In case of the latter then that would also be increasing the seen value gotten from paying to upgrade from e.g. Start to e.g. Select (or pay for monthly subscription).
I just checked Komplete Start and while you appear to be right about some stuff having been removed then they also appear to have added at least Ozone 11 EQ..

Yeah, rather disconcerting

That does seem quite strange!

I wonder if it's something to do with the way the 'Player' limits functionality?
Maybe folk getting it as part of the pack were expecting to build their own stuff, and use User Library content, then generating too much support traffic?

My cynical take is that Kontakt Player will simply generate more recurring revenue and NI is regularly releasing new Play Series instruments. Since Reaktor is on life support anyway the Venture Capital Overlords demanded that Komplete Start should convert as many hobbyists to paying customers as possible. (Since I don't know what's actually going on at NI this is completely unfounded and should all be taken with a hefty grain of salt)

Unfortunately I think you are correct- but if NI stop supporting Reaktor they will lose a lot of their most hardcore supporters

no, I was wrong

Login and add the bundle to your account again to get any missing plugins (I did) (just be sure to complete the adding to account fully) ! :

Hey PoorFellow. Beforhand thanks for repliying. I was wondering if by doing this you got the TRK-01 and/or the Reaktor Player either? And what you mean with "to complete the adding to account fully". The link you kindly posted here takes you to the KOMPLETE Start Downloads Page. Yes you can sure add Ozone Eq, and all the listed products to Native Access to later download. But not the TRK-01. Is the another turnaround I might be missing?

Sorry for the months late answer , but since you didn't 'tag' me then I were not notified. By complete adding I meant keep clicking through to it says that it's is added. As for the TRK-01 then that appears as being part of Komplete Standard and up and not in Start !
