Honestly dude you're going to want to just save up for a Komplete keyboard if you want to make the most out of it and reap the accessibility benefits. The summer of sound sale is more than likely coming very son, so you might want to be on the lookout for discounts.

EastWest's play engine also runs in Komplete Kontrol as well, so it's accessible from only there, though.
However, for anyone who has used EastWest's sounds, comparing it to others, would you consider it overrated? I feel like they are a tiny bit overrated in some of the libraries that they put out, (aka Ministry of Rock 1 and 2), and I'm curious how good their orchestra actually is: I know ComposerCloud is a steal for what it is, but I feel like the majority of EastWest's libraries are over-hyped.

i don't like the way of accessability  is being used on native instruments that comes with the hardware, looks kinda unfair to me, i gave up on the idea of trying to find and accessable wayh to use kontakt librarys   with reaper or any other software  i wanted to, so i guess i'll just  use what i have right now, i don't think i'm going to be buying any komplete keybord  any time soon with the current situation going on, but i wish i can find   an other way around so maybe i can try  playing some music just for fun, or even using the footsteps kontakt  librarys i have

Honestly I'm a big fan of Impact Soundwork's guitar libraries, as now I can actually play a virtual guitar and sound good.
Seriously wish IK xultimedia would make SampleTank 4 NKS compatibleseriously regret buying the keyboard controller that I bought from them like 7 years ago, along with their mixer that never seemed to work properly. Always was whining in my ears.

Yes.
@anIdiot: You have nothing to lose selling that old keyboard in exchange for a Native one.
It really doesn't get better than that as far as accessibility is concerned, other than plugins that are already accessible (Sonivox is actually quite impressive in this regard).
I am going to underhype you right here, so sorry but not sorry. Music production is an expensive endeavor. If you haven't got the druthers, wait till you do. Seriously. Especially if you are dealing with potentially inaccessible stuff. Save yourself the hastle. There are people out there, me included, that can handle your production work, who already have the setup, while you wait for a good time to sell your keyboard.
Regarding Eastwest, correct it is only accessible through nks. It also generally depends on what you're looking for as far as Eastwest instruments are concerned. Their Stormdrum series are great, and their guitars are good-sounding yet not very elastic, i.e. you're stuck with what's within the largely static presets. If you want guitars, go for something like this:

The orchestral libraries are good, although the Sonivox Fimlscore Companion bundle stands shoulder to shoulder with Eastwest's orchestral library, is substantially cheaper and smaller in size, and is surprisingly accessible. Beyond that, it has open-browsable fxb presets for the instruments that don't have a menu-system. The only applications that I still use Eastwest for from an orchestral standpoint are solo instruments, as that is the only thing the Sonivox bundle doesn't have. Yes, it's got 12gb worth of pianos as well, and don't let the Steinway attachment fool you, as this is no typical Steinway grand sampling from Garageband or Logic. This is a very meticulous sampling of just about any acoustic grand piano configuration you could want, and for electric pianos there's the Waves Electric Grand 80key, which is NKS-ready as well.

I do already have logic pro. This keyboards not actually half bad. Somethings wrong with the mod wheel but besides that, it’s quite well built, the keys feel nice and they're velocity sensitive, it has 60 something keys, and it’s quite simple. But I have know idea what company made it or what price it went for as it's from a coupple of years ago. Perhaps I can check with my parents.

Oh man. If we're talking orchestral stuff, a lot of Project Sam's stuff is seriously amazing. That gets pricey though. Don't quote me as its super late right now but I believe all their libraries support NKS. The Joshua Bell Violin is pretty awesome too. I don't own that one yet so can't speak too much on that.

I have a piano that's something else though. Walker 1955D from Embertone (sampled off a 9 foot Steinway D concert grand). The thing is simply incredible and I love it to bits.

Can you tell I'm a fan of embertone?
If you can convince your parents to let you break the bank a little, I would absolutely suggest getting a komplete keyboard. The A series goes pretty well for it's price point. I wish I could truly begin to tell you just what you get access to with a Komplete Kontrol. Now I guess I'm off to remind myself that I really don't need to buy the korg legacy collection right now...

Honestly...wow. The Joshua Bellviolin is really good. I have the symrhony  essentials from NI that comes with komplete 12 Ultimate, so I'll probaly just stick with that for now, and Session Strings for legato parts.
For pianos, I'd say that I am content with all of the pianos that NI bundles in, and I probably wouldn't need another piano, as there are like 7 different ones.
I honestly don't really like pattern instruments (like phrasing instruments), as they never seem to have the right pattern that I'm looking for. Or, like Scarbee Funk Guitari' the chords I look for aren't available right off the bat.
I'd really like to find a synth with a large, wide, fat monophonic lead, but I don't know enough about synthesis and   don't know what I would look for to find them.
Quick question regarding Session Horns Pro if anyone has it: how exactly do you trigger smart voicing from the keyboard itself? I asked someone from NI, and they said that it should be there, but I cannot find it.
i love the fact that we as blind people can enjoy all of these NKS compatible libraries.

Yeah, sort of figured IK Multimedia was on that list. Just hope I can sell their keyboard somewhere...
I feel like there are some shortcuts on the Kontrol that I'm missing, like how to remove FX in an effect chain.
Also, in reading the reviews for plug-ins on KKACCESS.com, the reviewer mentions how they're categorized by vendor into different sound banks. However, I can't seem to find that using the 4D encoder. Do I use the other knobs?

i guess you're right, i'll  be probably geting a  cheap decent komplete keybord whenever i can if there is  one

@11
My point is that it makes sense for no one to care about making them keyboard accessible, since it's nearly impossible to do even for the small ones, and when you do it's terribly inefficient.  I'm not making judgements about what people own, merely saying that we shouldn't really judge Native instruments for not putting in huge amounts of effort for the small number of people who are going to use it without the keyboard.

@22: Not to mention the fact that accessibility is a hard-sell on their hardware, and it does significantly increase their numbers according to stats. So if they are going to commit to accessibility, chances are they are going to make it a hardware-exclusive in order for the investment vs return to even out more. Plus, as you said, there is only a small amount of people who actually do go for the komplete software without the keyboard. As far as I'm concerned, the perfect hardware-software integration is such that until Komplete makes a knob/encoder box that plugs into a keyboard's sustain peddle or extention port, I would never look back from the Komplete boards. Potential Komplete customers should know that given the solid hardware-software integration along with expandability, the nature of their products is to keep you wanting more. That's why there's that tempting discount price to Komplete 12 (even 12ultimate is a steal if you own one of their keyboards) and their summer of sound sale makes the discounts even steaper. I personally am waiting for that, and am probably going to go with Komplete 12 stand-alone because hard drive space constraints. I am going to want to use this mx500 for a little more than not even a year before I decide that their 2tb variant is worth it. Lol.
