Subject:DL or Packaged upgrade for Kompakt owner?

I already own the full version of Kompakt, so I'm opting for the downloadable upgrade. Is there anything special about the Sony version of Kompakt? And what is there of value on the Acid Program disk? Shipping charges to Canada for the full package or the separate disks is identical: $20. If I can avoid ordering anything physical, all the better.

TIA

I have the dvd but I haven't installed it yet. Someone might be able to put it up on an ftp for you to download. Or maybe sony could? Someone should be able to help you out.

The Acid system disk has about 1100 loops on it.

I know the version of Kompakt that comes with ACID Pro 6 is a little less fully-featured (e.g., you can't load instruments created with the full version of Kompakt or Kontakt). I don't know if the instruments included with Kompakt ACID Pro edition are unique from the ones included with Kompakt full.

As Nick mentioned, the ACID DVD contains a bunch of promo loops as well as some other material such as projects using said loops.

I just ordered NI Kontakt 2 Crossgrade offer for Acid Pro 6 customers. I hope I get here in three days. I'll post differences if you're interested.

Kontakt is the bigger, more fully-featured cousin of Kompakt, so your head might explode from the wealth of customization offered. :oD
