12 great NI instruments and effects in one package!
NI KOMPLETE 4 also includes the following instruments and effects:

• ABSYNTH 4 - KOMPLETE 4 begins with ABSYNTH 4, an intoxicating sound creation tool. By forging together synthesis and sampling, ABSYNTH draws its formidable power from a combination of multiple synthesis techniques, granular sampling, and flexible envelope control. A versatile semi-modular architecture and clean interface make it effortless to sculpt everything from organic textures to rhythmic madness, from time-evolving soundscapes to vintage sounds. ABSYNTH includes more than 800 evocative, expressive, and musical presets that cover an astonishing range of territory.
• AKOUSTIK PIANO - AKOUSTIK PIANO fuses the sampled sound, expressiveness and playability of three of the most reputable grand pianos - the Steinway D, Bechstein D 280 and Boesendorfer 290 Imperial - as well as the charismatic Steingraeber 130 vintage upright piano into one application.
• REAKTOR - REAKTOR, the award-winning modular sound studio, is the ultimate tool for sound design and music production, and a perfect addition to KOMPLETE 4. REAKTOR 5 lets musicians and engineers design and build their own instruments, samplers, effects and sound design tools. REAKTOR 5 is also a world-class studio right out of the box - its library includes dozens of exceptional instruments and effects and the online User library is growing every day.
• FM8 - Not only does the FM8 read the complete sound library from the classic FM synths, but it goes far beyond emulation. It adds distortion and filter operators, extensive modulation capabilities, a comprehensive effects section, audio input and much more to the traditional FM architecture. The user interface of the FM8 makes it comfortable and easy to explore the fascinating new possibilities of FM.
• PRO-53 - KOMPLETE 4 adds the latest generation of the virtual analog classic Pro-53. The synthesizer emulation has been vastly improved by a new oscillator technology that offers an even warmer and more brilliant sound. In addition, the sonic possibilities have been expanded even further with new features like a high-pass filter mode and an invertible filter envelope. The control surface was also reworked and now shines in a whole new light.
• KONTAKT - KONTAKT 2 is also included in KOMPLETE 4. KONTAKT 2 brings many features, including a Beat Machine for slicing and syncing loops, VST automation and much more.
• BATTERY 3 - BATTERY 3 is a fast, effective, intelligent and convenient way to breathe life into your drum samples! It boasts separate sound parameters for 128 sample cells, powerful modulation capabilities and an unbeatable ease of use. It has sample-accurate timing, internal 32-bit resolution, up to 128 velocity layers per instrument and can play samples at any pitch - BATTERY 3 fulfills even the highest demands regarding precision, sound quality and flexibility. BATTERY has access to all the biggest sound libraries in AKAI, SF2, LM4, AIFF, WAV and MAP formats. Also, more than 30 high quality sound sets (590 MB) are already included on an additional CD in the KOMPLETE 4 package.
• VOKATOR - KOMPLETE 4 gives you vocoding in a new dimension with VOKATOR. Powered by an extremely high-resolution FFT spectral engine, VOKATOR provides the highest quality vocoding transparency, detail, and smoothness. VOKATOR also boasts a sophisticated synthesizer and a granular sampler: a virtual sound-fusion laboratory.
• NI-SPEKTRAL DELAY - NI-SPEKTRAL DELAY offers new and exceptional delay effects. The NI-SPEKTRAL DELAY is easy to use, with all parameters controlled intuitively and comfortably from a sophisticated graphical user interface. It differs from many other audio effects in that it uses real-time FFT (Fast Fourier Transformation) to split each channel of a stereo signal into as many as 160 separately modifiable frequency bands. The level, delay time and feedback amount for each of these bands can be set separately. Additionally, various modulation effects can be applied to the signal, which allows for even further sound manipulation. The new version 1.5 adds a rewritten audio engine underneath as well as many new performance oriented features.

Compatible with virtually all software applications
The entire KOMPLETE 4 package is compatible with OS X and Windows XP, supporting Audio Units, CoreAudio, and CoreMIDI, as well as VST and RTAS!
