This was really interesting! Also thanks for sharing the tables too, I spent nearly an hour studying them! Another discontinued product was Native Instruments Dynamo.
This was like Reaktor Sessions I believe the difference was you could not build anything.. Which is probably what a lot of Reaktor users would like today. For what it's worth here is a link to a spreadsheet that has links to videos about each of the plug-ins and instruments in Kontakt Komplete Ultimate 10 as well as all the manuals downloaded with clickable links in the MS Excel spreadsheet. I also included the spreadsheet here to have everything together if it helps anyone.
Love the spreadsheet. I recently picked up Komplete Kontrol, now I need to update my Komplete bundle. This detail helps me contemplate when K11 will release. Hopefully between Sept - Oct. There's not enough data to know whether the month thing is a pattern, but I consider the September release of Reaktor 6 a possible hint that we won't see Komplete 11 until next March or April.
But again, still too early to say. Thank you, i'm trying to understand something. In your spreadsheet notes for "Post Komplete 10 additions" you said that the Symphony series will not be added to Komplete I'm waiting until Komplete 11 comes out for the upgrade and will probably stay with Komplete 10 Ultimate if these series stay outside the bundle. Also, where did you get the information that the Symphony series won't be bundled with Komplete?
It looks like Komplete owners will have a standing crossgrade offer on all Symphony Series products, but NI has no plans to actually make them part of the Komplete bundle. Thanks for this. I don't remember how or when I downloaded the. I always wondered why Spektral Delay and Vokater were discontinued. Take care. Just not worth it when GR6 is the only thing on offer of any interest to me.
This is an incredible work of kindness and detail for those of us to use NI products. I suspect this is a labor of love for you and I want to express a heartfelt thanks. Knowing NI that probably have not compensated you but I hope they would unless bless you for your work. Post a Comment. In , a seven year old Native Instruments knew what it wanted to be when it grew up: The dominant force in virtual music instruments.
When they packed their nine best products into one giant box and dubbed it "Komplete," the message was clear: Why go anywhere else for software instruments when everything you need is right here?
Today's Komplete Ultimate bundles are the soft-synth equivalent of Waves Mercury. No other single virtual instrument publisher offers quite the breadth and depth that the Komplete series has consistently delivered since that first big blue box hit store shelves. Product Comparison of all Komplete Versions Every year or two when a new Komplete release looms, music message boards light up with users asking, "If I have version X of Komplete, what would I gain by upgrading to version Y?
To satisfy my own curiosity, and to help my fellow KLFs Komplete Lovin' Fools , I spent a fair amount of time compiling the contents and release information of every Komplete bundle since the series debuted.
Click image to view the Komplete product version comparison worksheet. You can find my detailed product comparison of all Komplete versions right here. It lists every major version of every individual product that was ever included in a Komplete bundle, and when each product was introduced or discontinued. The Release Details tab gives detailed stats on each Komplete bundle month and year of release, price, number of products, etc.
The worksheet and its tabs represent the raw data, and what follows is some various trivia and analysis of Komplete over time. Unlike "standard" Komplete releases, which are a selection of popular products in the Komplete product line, Ultimate bundles contain the entire Komplete catalog of software products as of a specific date which Native Instruments specifies.
Any new products in the Komplete line that Native Instruments brings to market after a Komplete Ultimate release date are usually not grandfathered into that pre-existing Komplete bundle although there have been occasional exceptions.
Those new products generally will be included in the next major Komplete Ultimate bundle, however. The Komplete Ultimate hard disks are not used at product runtime, and aren't intended to store any information other than the product installers. They are only provided to facilitate installation. Neither Komplete 8 Ultimate or Komplete 9 Ultimate are available in downloadable form.
Registered owners of standard Komplete 8 and 9, however, are granted download access to the ISO images of the DVD install discs in the event that their discs are damaged or misplaced. Discontinued Products Over time, Native Instruments has discontinued a number of products that once featured in earlier Komplete bundles. Acoustic Refractions Komplete 7 was the only full Kore soundpack included in a Komplete bundle, although some content from other Kore packs has trickled into various Komplete products since Kore was discontinued.
Some see Maschine as an evolution of the Kore concept, although Maschine lacks Kore's advanced sound morphing engine. See the Kore Soundpacks section later on for more details about that product line. The Akoustik Piano and Elektrik Piano Kontakt instruments that appeared in Komplete releases between and were discontinued, however most of their samples were reused in other Kontakt piano instruments that are still available today and included in current Komplete Ultimate releases.
Learn more. You may notice that the 'cookie consent' form pops up more often than usual lately - we are tweaking it behind-the-scenes to make sure it's working comprehensively.
If you see it again it's because something has changed so please set your preferences accordingly. Some of you might have already seen my Komplete Version Comparison worksheet that I've been maintaining since Komplete 9 was announced. I've just updated it with the latest information from Native Instruments, including the Release Details tab with product counts and price-per-product metrics. I also put together a post full of Komplete trivia , like all the discontinued products and what happened to all the Kore Soundpacks after Native Instruments dropped Kore.
Wow, great job. I'm on the bandwagon since v4 and I have the Sonic Fiction pack - I should probably sample it dry and put it in Kontakt or something. It's a real shame that they didn't do anything about the Kore packs anymore. My Studio.
That's a great effort! Komplete is usually released in September or October of a given year. Usually there is a new version every year, except between versions , , and currently version If history repeats itself, we can expect Komplete 11 to be released in September or October of Before that time, the public could expect a new release of Komplete to be unveiled at the trade shows.
But NI seems to be continuing the practice of releasing their new products in September or October. Sometimes the release is foreshadowed by a ridiculous sale of the former version, the drastic reductions in price has sometimes indicated that the release of a new version is imminent. Watch it!
