Recognised in the industry as a professional standard production suite, Komplete has carved a unique place for itself in modern recording practice. Komplete caters for musicians, producers, sound designers and experimental artists by presenting a comprehensive collection of tools and instruments that can potentially provide an answer to any musical question. Komplete is available in four different packages to ensure users have access to a collection that suits their particular needs; Komplete Select, Komplete Standard, Komplete Ultimate and Komplete Ultimate Collector’s Edition. Purchasing the collection of instruments, effects and tools in a Komplete package promises substantial savings on the purchase of those same items acquired individually from Native Instruments.
Each edition of Komplete now includes a selection of the new Expansions – sound collections of pre-sets, drum kits, samples, loops and one-shots focussed toward specific genres. These Expansions have been created by Native alongside musicians and sound designers whom are specialists in their fields, and are usable within any DAW.
Installation of Komplete is also easy for all – purchase a physical copy to receive a key or HDD drive which contains the complete software, or alternatively a download version will provide the software immediately, made accessible via Native Access online (where registry of Native products is also facilitated).
Needless to say Native Instruments produce a number of software controllers, both in the more traditional keyboard format (Komplete Kontrol keyboards) or more intuitive and innovative hardware (the Maschine range). All of these controllers come pre-mapped to perfectly respond to the contents of the Komplete tool-kit.
