Kanthos Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I'm selling the following products. See details below. EDIT: No longer going with a reserve. You want it, it's yours right away. Elektrik Piano: $100 Prophet V: $125 TimewARP 2600: $125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 I own a number of Native Instruments products that I've purchased over the last few years. I want to upgrade to Komplete 5, mainly to get Kontakt 3 and the Pro-53. I qualify for upgrade pricing since I own Kore 2, but NI can't make a better deal given the products I own, so what I'd like to do is sell these products to make the Komplete 5 upgrade more affordable. We just had to buy new appliances, so I don't have money to buy the upgrade at its full price, but if I can sell enough of my current software, it's worth it. EDIT: Everything is now available immediately. If you want it, it's yours. Payment is by PayPal only, and I'll ship items within a business day after receiving payment. There may be some delay with getting the licenses transferred, since I'll have to call Native Instruments in order to do this, but NI has assured me that there's no problem in doing so. Here's my for-sale list with details; I can be flexible on prices, so send me a PM if you're interested. Prices include shipping costs world-wide, other than the FCB1010, which has its own pricing details below. Elektrik Piano: $100 Comes with manual and original media in original cases. Arturia Prophet V: $125 Comes with USB key (needed to run the software), manual and media. Nothing wrong with this; I just don't need two Prophet 5 synths, and Komplete comes with the Pro-53. WayOutWare TimewARP 2600: $125 Comes with media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Bump to mention that I'm dropping the reserve period. Buy it and I'll get it to you as soon as I can call NI to remove the license from my account. I'm also going to have these up on craigslist as soon as possible.

Kanthos Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Bump again, as I've dropped the prices a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I endorse this sale or event. These are really good prices. If I didn't already own them all, I'd buy something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm considering your copy of kontakt 2. Is it a dual install disk? I'm on a mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm pretty sure they are; I never remember having to specify a PC or Mac for any of the NI products I bought. I'll confirm that for you when I get home tonight. Worst case is you could probably download the latest Kontakt installer from NI's site to get the plugin and install the library manually by copying the CD contents and then telling Kontakt where the files are.

Argle Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 FYI East West doesn't allow resale of their products. So if you've already registered Silver the buyer won't be able to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 I have, but my intention was to give the buyer my NI account (obviously with all other software, which is all NI and can be transferred, removed from the account), so it would still be usable.

zircon Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 What's your opinion on Timewarp, Kanthos? I've been curious about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 It seems ok, and is a good reproduction of the original ARP 2600. I chose this version over the Arturia one since the Arturia version wouldn't run on my machine. I didn't mention it above, but my reason for selling is that it's not really friendly for a live situation. I want to have all the presets I like loaded and switchable by MIDI PC events, and the TimewARP doesn't handle that well. They have a demo on their site though; by all means try it. You're much more of a synth expert than I am; I was mainly interested in it as a way of recreating some classic Weather Report sounds.

But the problem is, the registration depends partially on the system ID of your machine. So your registration code wouldn't work for the next person. Also, NI will make you get permission from East West before they de-activate your account, and EW won't give you permission. I had to go thru the same thing to get GPO de-activated, but thankfully Garritan permits resells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to go thru the same thing to get GPO de-activated, but thankfully Garritan permits resells. True, it does depend on the machine. I've had it installed on two different machines though (I used to have a desktop which died, so I bought my laptop) and had no issues. I wasn't talking about deactivating the account here, just pulling all my *other* synths from the account, leaving it with only EWQLSO, and giving someone the account, changing my personal information. At any rate, I'm not looking to screw someone over, and if they are unable to register, I'll be happy to give a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Yeah I wasn't trying to imply you were looking to screw someone, just wanted to make sure you knew about EW's no selling policy. I've only recently become aware of it myself. Unless you're selling an unregistered EW product I'm not sure there's any way the next person will be able to use it past the grace period. Than again if you transfer the whole acct, who knows. That might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 I'm considering your copy of kontakt 2.Is it a dual install disk? I'm on a mac. The printing on the CD implies that they're dual-install, but I didn't see any Mac-only files when I opened it in Windows (although this could be because I don't know how to see them). I'll ask NI to be certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll ask NI to be certain. Thanks, I appreciate it. Honestly i'm not too interested about the library, I just need the plugin so I can use my orchestra samples again. ;_; 10 minutes later... Actually, I've looked the library up and there might be some cool stuff, especially that harpsichord. I'm decently set on synths between Logic and Vanguard, but some extra percussion some more piano sounds is always good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanthos Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 OA, NI has confirmed that all their installer discs include both Mac and PC content, so you're set. Let me know if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 just need to get permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Ok; I marked it as claimed, so it's yours if you want it. EDIT: NI removed all the licenses they could for software I wanted to sell. I'd forgotten that a couple of these, unfortunately including Kontakt 2, were EDU versions which can't be sold. Bah, sorry to get your hopes up OA. Better to find out now rather than later, I guess.

Geoffrey Taucer Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Actually, that foot controller is pretty tempting as well... I'll have to take a look and see what I have in the way of funds, but I may want to grab that as well if nobody else does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 how do you mean the removed the licences? Like, they're no longer registered to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Yes. Right now, the serial numbers are not registered to anyone and can be added to any NI account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
