It is a classic polysynth in design but has a refreshing simplicity and a big and modern sound it’s great for programming and comes with plenty of sounds for dance and contemporary producers. This is a fantastic plugin, albeit one that only costs £59 bought individually. Still on an instrument theme but turning our attention to synths and we get Super 8. You’ll probably have a piano VST somewhere in your setup, so it might not be an essential download, but, once again, it complements the other soundtracky instruments here, being equally capable of intense scoring as it is jazz and classical.

It has an incredibly rich and dynamic sound, vibrant in its intensity when played hard but equally delicate and shimmering when not, and two versions – Pure and Felt – offer both clear and mellow alternatives. Noire is an incredibly-detailed grand piano owned by classical and electronic producer Nils Frahm, and sampled in Berlin’s Funkhaus (often the home of the Superbooth show).

We did think the all-new Noire update worthy of downloading.

They sound amazing on the demos and allow us to plug our great string feature on p44 which shows you how a quartet like this can work for your productions. (If that sounds a little like frustration from not doing this and then not finding them once we’d installed them… it is!)Īt over 100GB we simply couldn’t justify both the time or hard drive space, nor does our knowledge stretch to such rare instruments.

Everything we cover in this review is for the Komplete Ultimate Collector’s Edition so do check on the NI website whether the version you opt for includes what we discuss.Īnd once you get going with Komplete 13, make sure you have the latest version of Kontakt (6) installed before you upgrade as some of the newer Kontakt instruments require it. This is all you need to know right now, as it’s time to look at 13 and all the new bits, which we will explore by category, and try (‘mother, that Grand Canyon sure is big’) to detail some of the girth of the rest of the bundle, along the way. It split into two versions (Ultimate and Standard) around v8 in 2011 and then into three (including Select) with the arrival of Komplete Kontrol in 2016 at v11. Komplete started life out as Native Instruments’ ‘best of’ in 2003 with nine products (classic titles like Absynth, B4, Kontakt, FM7 and Pro-53) and has been updated every one or two years since and, dollar for dollar, has been increasing in value ever since (that first pack cost around $1500 and the price has remained pretty static, even though the size has grown exponentially).
