But does it justify spending that pile of euros? Probably not. Well, if you happen to use several computers, you will have extra licences for those separately purchased packs and you can use e.g.
#Komplete 9 ultimate crossgrade upgrade
Upgrade costs 400 euros, and it depends on the situation whether you get something that you already had or not.

Lets say that you have Komplete Ultimate 8 and have purchased Damage, Actions Strings, Session Horns and possibly some other packs, then there is basically no point in purchasing an upgrade to Ultimate 9. Since Ultimate collects all items from Komplete product range, you may now end up purchasing some items twice, so to speak of. To upgrade or not, that depends a lot on whether you have only that package or have you purchased additional plug-ins which were issued after the launch of Komplete 8. If you already own Komplete 8 – especially Ultimate – and are planning to upgrade, then the choice is hard. So planning ahead is a good decision in this case. My point is that some of those plug-ins are so expensive that if you start purchasing them one by one, you will end up having spent the price of Komplete 9 Ultimate two or three times. Then again, if you are only interested on couple of plug-ins, then basic Komplete might be justified. Considering what you get with that price, it is a real bargain.

I mean if you are going to spend 500 euros and are serious about making music, why not pile up some more, and get Komplete 9 Ultimate. I myself consider the basic Komplete 9 almost waste of money. That new edition, Komplete 9 was launched today for pre-order. When Native Instruments put their Komplete 8 collections on sale, it was quite obvious that a new edition is coming.

Although there were all kinds of rumours around, it seems my prediction was correct.
