A lot of us here recall Native Instruments’ first Komplete software suite (and bought it). Over the years, Native Instruments tweaked the package, made it more sophisticated, more polished, but at the same time, they added some new components – err, komponents. New to the bundle are Kontakt 3, Guitar Rig 3, and the company’s critically acclaimed Massive synthesizer! It’s no exaggeration to say that Komplete 5 is beautifully polished and capable of creating any style of music you can imagine!
Komplete 5 consists of the award-winning Kontakt 3 sampler, Massive, FM8, Absynth 4, Pro-53, Battery 3, B4 II, Reaktor 5, Akoustik Piano, Elektrik Piano and Guitar Rig 3, plus over 50GB of pro-quality sample data. And that doesn’t even take into account the hundreds of effects that are included with the majority of the virtual instruments and synths. The Komplete 5 package is fully compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows XP and supports Audio Units, CoreAudio, CoreMIDI, VST, and RTAS. Komplete 5 is Sweetwater-priced at $999.97 and includes free FedEx shipping. If you already own Komplete 4, the upgrade to Komplete 5 is just $199.97, which is a steal, particularly when you realize that the Kontakt 3 sampler upgrade is priced at $149.97 all by itself and that Massive sells for $299.97. That’s a savings of almost $250 right there!
