Hands On: Native Instruments Komplete 9 Ultimate

Hands On: Native Instruments Komplete 9 Ultimate

Where to start talking about the incredible Native Instruments Komplete 9 Ultimate? With 65 instruments and effects, over 16,000 sounds, and over 370 gigabytes of samples and content, Komplete 9 Ultimate truly offers an embarrassment of riches for anyone looking for a comprehensive package of virtual instruments and sonic capability. Guitar, bass, drums, keys, synths, it’s all there. Then there are the studio effects — EQs, compressors, reverbs, NI’s signature “creative” effects for making entirely new sounds, and more. Komplete 9 Ultimate is so big that it is delivered on its own hard drive! Komplete 9 Ultimate is compatible with Mac and PC, and supports VST, Audio Units, and AAX Native formats, and standalone operation.

Among the big news in Komplete 9 Ultimate is Battery 4, a complete redesign of the popular drum sampler; Abbey Road Vintage Drummer with authentic early-mid 1900s drums and sounds; Scarbee Rickenbacker Bass; 12 new studio effects (EQs, compressors, reverbs, and more); Driver, a distortion filter for creative sound design; Monark, a fat-sounding, modeled analog synth that everyone will recognize; Skanner XT for a wide range of synthetic textures and sounds; Giant, the world’s biggest upright piano; the 14GB Action Strings; the 4-piece Session Horns section; Damage, a creative percussion module; and more. All of these new additions sound phenomenal and only serve to expand on Komplete’s already awesomely versatile sonic palette. All the old favorites are also included: Kontakt, Guitar Rig, Massive, Absynth, Reaktor, FM8, and so much more. Let’s put it this way: if you can’t find or make the sound you want in Komplete 9 Ultimate, don’t blame Komplete!

If you want a single package for both studio and stage that delivers a comprehensive array of instruments, effects, and content, the Native Instruments Komplete 9 Ultimate is unrivaled. There’s simply nothing like it!

Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
