It seems like only yesterday that Native Instruments introduced its first products, but 2006 is actually the companys 10th anniversary. So its only appropriate that they should release their latest and greatest software bundle this year, KOMPLETE 4! This new version incorporates Universal Binary versions of ABSYNTH 4, BATTERY 3, and FM8, all of which add significant creative capabilities and offer increased integration with NI’s host system KORE and the KoreSound format. The new KOMPLETE package also includes the critically acclaimed AKOUSTIK PIANO, which offers musicians and producers access to a comprehensive range of world-class, performance-ready piano sounds. Native Instruments has also refocused the content of KOMPLETE 4, which now offers 12 instruments and effects. The companys INTAKT and KOMPAKT sample players are no longer part of KOMPLETE and have been discontinued as individual products. Comparable functionality is provided by the more powerful KONTAKT 2 and BATTERY 3 samplers. Owners of the individual versions of INTAKT and KOMPAKT can take advantage of a special crossgrade offer for KONTAKT 2.
All owners of KOMPLETE CARE 2006 will receive a free update to KOMPLETE 4. The KOMPLETE CARE update program will not be extended beyond its current 2006 version due to a change in Native Instruments’ product-release policy. Relevant product releases will be consolidated and combined with a corresponding annual revision of the KOMPLETE bundle, which will be made available to registered users at an attractive update price.
