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!
