Native Instruments Komplete 15 Ultimate Edition Software Production Suite

What’s new with Komplete 15 Ultimate Edition?

In a word, plenty. Alongside a slew of returning classics, this next-gen iteration of Komplete Ultimate Edition arms you with some serious firepower. Kontakt 8, the latest incarnation of Native Instruments’ award-winning sample engine, fuels the expansive sonic pantheon of Komplete 15. Evocative sound design tools abound, with the Schema: Light and Schema: Dark cinematic sequencers providing distinct approaches to mood and timbre via multilayered sonic sculpting. In addition to numerous entries from NI’s Symphony Essentials collection, Action Woodwinds, Choir: Omnia Essentials, and Valves offer a veritable suite of orchestration and voices, delivering multitudes of articulations and phrasings across woodwind and brass instruments. If you’re looking for an evolved take on cinematic sonics, Scene: Saffron, Conflux, and Vocal Colors reimagine classical guitar and composition configurations through multidimensional expression and interfacing capabilities rife with synth-derived timbres to explore.

Meanwhile, the collection’s Play series entries expand to include Bazzazian Tapes, Bouquet, Feel It, Glaze 2, Nacht, Sway, and Utopia, all of which utilize the hallmark Play series blend of impactful presets, detailed sound-shaping options, and extensive real-time control, all wrapped in an intuitive, dual-sound interface. Guitar Rig 7 Pro — a highly versatile one-stop shop of amp simulations and multi-effects racks — augments your studio tool kit, while the additions of Icon and Upright Session Bassist plug-ins, as well as Session Guitarist — Acoustic Sunburst Deluxe, and Session Ukulele, expand your library of virtual plucked strings. iZotope Ozone 11 Standard — the industry’s leading all-in-one mastering suite — is joined by iZotope’s Vocal Synth 2. At the same time, NI’s Trash plug-in delivers over 600 styles of distortion and impulse responses, collectively expanding your array of sonic contouring options. For the rhythm section, Karriem Riggins Drums, Rudiments, and Session Percussionist bolster your percussive performance palette, and the Phoenix and Diamond Electric Keys, alongside the signature Alicia’s Electric Keys, give you more options with the ebonies and ivories than ever before. In global instrumental stylings, Ireland’s Spotlight Collection plug-in joins the armada of international sonics.

Boundless instrumental, effects, and processing possibilities

You'll find over 150 instruments, effects, and processors supported by more than 100,000 preset sounds within the Native Instruments Komplete 15 Ultimate Edition. From the endless creative potential of Reaktor 6 and authentic world-music textures of the Spotlight series to the unmatched amp sims of Guitar Rig 7 Pro and Play series kaleidoscope of synths, vibes, and performance tools, the Ultimate Edition has you covered for virtually any production obstacle. You also get excellent mix tools, including studio-style EQ, Dynamics, and Bus Compression processors. Plus, innovative titles such as the unique sample-and-synthesis-driven Form and the multimode Replika XT delay ensure even more flexibility.

Expand your performances

In addition to Komplete 15’s bevy of plug-in power, Native Instruments includes more than 80 expansion soundpacks, every one of which is methodically tailored to the sonic profiles of specific genres and styles. Thanks to collaborations with leading artists, sound designers, and music technologists, Komplete 15’s expansions bring a carefully curated array of one-shots, samples, synths, drums, loops, and more to work with nearly any DAW. Kontakt 8, Monark, Massive X, Battery 4, and Massive are just the tip of Komplete 15’s iceberg of expansion-compatible instruments.

Seamless hardware integration and hands-on control

If you're rocking a Kontrol series keyboard controller or Maschine creation tool, then you'll be blown away by the way Komplete 15 Ultimate Edition fits into your workflow. Not only can you browse your Komplete 15 library for instruments and effects directly from your hardware, but you can also call up individual presets via the tag/category-based browser and tweak them to perfection without touching a mouse. It's the perfect combination of software flexibility with the hands-on control you'd expect from a traditional hardware keyboard or a groove machine.

Inspiring tools for post-production, sound design, and mastering

Because Komplete 15 is such a powerful tool for songwriting, it's easy to forget that it's perfect for post-production, too. If you produce audio for video on a regular basis, you know that you can never have too much content to pull from. And Komplete 15 really covers all angles — whether you need pulsing tribal drums for an ad, a solemn acoustic piano for a short film or powerful sound-design capabilities to create sound effects, Komplete 15 Ultimate Edition has the tools you need. Best of all, the individual products are all very easy to browse through, streamlining your entire creative process — from writing to mastering. Equip yourself for all your sound-design needs, and even more to discover.
