From the day the company released its first product and right up to today, Native Instruments has always been at the forefront of computer-based sound creation and effects. And now there’s news – big news! – about the latest, greatest products in the Native Instruments line, all of which are set for release on October 1st! Everything starts with three brand-new KOMPLETE bundles:
- KOMPLETE 5: The all-inclusive collection of NI products that includes 11 unique synths, samplers, virtual instruments, and effects, as well as an astonishing 7,500 presets and a stunning 60 gigabytes of premium sound content! What’s more, this top-of-the-line collection now includes NI’s latest killer synth, which it rightly calls Massive. When you’re ready to give your studio the first-class treatment it deserves, you’ll want KOMPLETE 5 installed on your Mac or Windows-based computer!
- KOMPLETE SYNTHS: Premium in everything but price, these amazing computer-based synths are faster and more powerful than the hardware they are meant to replace. From fat analog to glossy FM and everything in between (including a few that defy categorization), this is the collection for you!
- KOMPLETE CLASSICS: Musical styles change and evolve, but this core group of classic instruments never sounds dated. Included in this collection are acoustic pianos, electric pianos, tonewheel organs, and rich analog synthesizers, all ready to add an unmistakable touch of class to your tracks.
- KONTAKT 3: Now more comprehensive, more intuitive, and with 1,000 instruments and more than 33 gigabytes of acoustic and electric samples. This is NI’s flagship sampler with a hugely expanded feature set that includes everything producers, keyboard players, and sound designers could ever want or need, like a reworked Wave Editor with tools for looping, slicing, and editing, right down to the sample level.
- GUITAR RIG 3: This newest version of NI’s critically acclaimed guitar and bass sound system is even more versatile than ever. It includes many new precisely remodeled amps, cabinets, and effects, plus an even simpler user interface and hot new presets. It’s available in the “Kontrol Edition” with a redesigned Rig Kontrol foot controller or as a software-only edition without the foot controller.
All of this is cool enough, but NI has always looked after its supporters with free updates for recent purchases and reasonably priced upgrades. Customers who purchased KOMPLETE 4, GUITAR RIG 2, or KONTAKT 2 after September 1st, 2007 qualify for a free upgrade to the newest versions of each product (with the exclusion of the Guitar Rig foot controller) directly from Native Instruments.
To get these “grace period” upgrades, registered owners need to fill out a form. You’ll also need your proof of purchase (your Sweetwater receipt) in an electronic format you can upload.
After you send the form and after it’s processing by NI, you’ll receive your update by mail or as a download link by e-mail (only for GUITAR RIG 3).
