Kontakt Instruments & Libraries (Black Friday Deals List)

Heres the complete, up-to-date list of all Kontakt Black Friday deals for 2023 into 2024:

Will Kontakt Go On Sale for Black Friday?

Kontakt doesn’t directly go on sale during the Black Friday period. However, you may be able to pick it up as part of one of Native Instruments Black Friday bundles. Usually they discount Komplete which will come with Kontakt. A standalone version of Kontakt will not go on sale.

Are The Black Friday Sales The Best?

The Summer sale for Native Instruments is usually better than the Black Friday sale most years. However, this is subject to change. With past information and past sales, we can predict that the Summer sale will be where you can make the most savings.

To make the most of the sales, people commonly purchase Komplete or another package during the Summer sale and then use the upgrade sales during Black Friday to save on upgrading to a higher package of Komplete.

If you’re willing to wait for this, you can get the full version of Komplete pretty cheaply.

The best way to play these sales is to always purchase the version below which you want, and then wait for an upgrade sale. Once you can make use of an upgrade sale, you can purchase upgrades much cheaper than full versions of the software.

It’s much cheaper to buy select and then upgrade to standard edition or collectors than purchase them outright.

Another way to play the sales is to check out Native Instruments hardware and see what deals are available there.

Often a Komplete Kontrol or another instrument like Maschine will come bundled with Komplete software, and you can get the hardware + the software at a hugely discounted price.

The best places to check for this are Sweetwater and the Official Native Instruments website.

Do I Need Kontakt to Play Kontakt Instruments or Can I Use Kontakt Player?

Check the page you want to purchase the deal from, check the description and look for “compatible with Kontakt player”. If you see this on the page then you will be able to use the Kontakt instrument or library with Kontakt player.

If you see “compatible with Kontakt 5/6/7”, or “need the full version of Kontakt”, this instrument will not be compatible with Kontakt player and you will need to purchase a license for Native Instruments Kontakt.
