It was one of those things that the company probably didn’t have to do at all, but chose to do for the good of the community. I was pleasantly surprised when I read the initial announcement that Komplete would include Ozone and RX. These instruments are great to include as the first thing in a blank project to set the mood or just to layer over the background of a fully finished track to add more depth and texture to the production. Komplete has better backing vocals, pianos, more nuanced strings, and many more effects and soundscape instruments. More ambient instruments!Īlright, so I know I’m a bit biased here as a producer and mood setter, but the near-inclusions here are to die for. It’s an absolute inspiration machine that just cycles through the presets, and the randomization features let you keep pouring gas on the inspiration sequence once it’s started. The result is a dreamy, sporadic chord progression that sounds familiar. It randomizes different sounds and plays them in sequence when feeding MIDI notes. This new instrument playable on Kontakt is damn crazy.

Let’s dive into what excites me the most by opening this bundle. This pack has so many new things to get excited about, but I’ll narrow it down to my three favorite things. You’d be hard pressed to even scroll through and audition that many sounds in a lifetime, let alone use them in your productions (and I mean that in a darned good way). You will get over 84,000 presets spread across 139 different devices. For the first time, purchasing Komplete gives you access to Ozone, a powerful mastering suite, as well as Izotope RX, which is a phenomenal audio repair tool for post-production.Īnd while many other minor inclusions are included, I will mention this one last big one the large number of additional instruments you can now access in this pack. Yes, you heard that right: full SUITES of production tools. This version of Komplet also comes with a few other site plugins.

Komplete 14 also comes with a handful of fresh new libraries (but I’ll save that for a later section). This award-winning sampler lets you create full-spectrum orchestral bohemian melodies and almost any other sound and texture you could imagine. Overall though, the new features in Komplete offer some truly unique tools for you to use in your next track.įirst, there’s a fresh new Kontakt in its seventh iteration. Most of the Komplete bundle will see the return of classic Native Instrument synths and plugins (although many with some well-deserved upgrades).
