There’s also no pause button in NI’s Native Access download app, so I had to force quit it occasionally when an instrument download was taking longer than I had time for. You want to make sure you have a good internet connection, as you’re going to be downloading… a lot. I still find the adjusted design a little crammed, purely because of Kontakt’s wealth of options, but it’s not unusable by any means and all the newest instruments are well laid out.īesides Flesh, you also get a sample-based synth: Form a new piano: Una Corda a new geographic destination to add to its Discovery Series: India more orchestral samples: Symphony Essentials and Emotive Strings a new delay effect: Replica XT, and something to add to the Session series: Session Guitarist – Strummed Acoustic.Īlthough you get a 500GB USB 3.0 portable hard drive in the box, it doesn’t come with any downloaded material installed. With so many libraries available for the platform, it’s no doubt difficult to keep every provider’s graphics up to date. Unfortunately, on my Retina Macbook Pro, that’s really not even close to enough. Kontakt has been redesigned so the size of instruments can now be 1000 by 750 pixels. To coincide with the 11 release, NI redesigned its classic Reaktor modular environment with some better building blocks, as well as enhanced the core Kontakt sampling system. With the exception of Tim Exile’s Flesh - a performance instrument that seems very fresh indeed - most of the included instruments expand on the categories already a part of Komplete. Interestingly, the new additions seem to show that Native Instruments really does have all its bases covered. Native Instruments’ all-inclusive Komplete Ultimate collection includes every single one of its products: synths of almost any kind - even sample-based semi granular ones, drum samples and drum machines, orchestral samples and players, vintage-inspired effects, random performance tools… you name it, it’s got something that will fit the bill.Įvery time Native Instruments goes up a digit - we’re up to 11 now - it herds the six to eight products it’s dreamed up since the last round number and corrals them into the new upgrade. Native Instruments isn’t the only provider of software instruments, effects or samples, but it does the kitchen sink better than anyone.
