Native Instruments Komplete 12 Ultimate Upgrade

Komplete 12 raises the bar again for in-the-box sound design and music production. Inside you’ll find over 50 products spanning an impressive 25,000 preset sounds and more than 170GB of content. New features include the award-winning Kontakt 6 sampling engine, with a sleeker interface and three new forward-looking instrument libraries, and the new Massive X synth*, successor to the genre-defining Massive and bursting with sonic possibility. These and other favorites, including Reaktor 6, Battery 4, and Guitar Rig 5 Pro, come pre-loaded onto one handy installation drive for instant access.

Kontakt 6

Native Instruments’ award-winning sampling engine is even better in version 6. Fully featured and even easier to navigate, Kontakt 6 unlocks the full potential of your NI and third-party NKS libraries. Onboard scripting and audio routing make Kontakt 6 a true production and performance powerhouse.

Massive X

NI’s flagship synth heads in a radical new direction with Massive X, with more sounds and more delicious presets to stoke your analog and digital appetites. Massive X looks to be not just one of the best virtual synths on the market, but one of the best synths, hardware or software, of its time.

More instruments, effects, and sounds than ever before

You’ll find over 50 instruments/processors and more than 25,000 preset sounds within Native Instruments’ Komplete 12. From the endless creative potential of Reaktor 6 to the authentic world-music textures of the Discover Series to the convincing amp sims of Guitar Rig Pro 5, Komplete 12 has you covered for most production obstacles you might encounter. You also get excellent mix tools from the Solid Mix Series, including studio-style EQ, Dynamics, and Bus Compression processors, while innovative titles such as the unique sample-and-synthesis-driven Form and the Replika delay make the latest Komplete more flexible than ever.

Hands-on hardware control

If you’re rocking a Kontrol S- or A-series keyboard controller or Maschine creation tool, then you’ll be blown away by the way Komplete 12 fits into your workflow. Not only can you browse your Komplete 12 library for instruments and effects directly from your hardware, but you can also call up individual presets via the tag/category-based browser and tweak them to perfection without touching a mouse. It’s the perfect combination of software flexibility with the hands-on control you’d expect from a traditional hardware keyboard or groove machine.

Inspiring tools for post-production, sound design, and mastering

Because Komplete 12 is such a powerful tool for songwriting, it’s easy to forget that it’s perfect for post-production, too. If you produce audio for video on a regular basis, you know that you can never have too much content to pull from. And Komplete 12 really covers all angles — whether you need pulsing tribal drums for an ad, a solemn acoustic piano for a short film, or powerful sound design capabilities to create sound effects, Komplete 12 has the tools you need. Best of all, the individual products are all very easy to browse through, making your entire creative process, from writing to mastering, totally streamlined. Equip yourself for all your sound design needs, with Native Instruments Komplete 12 from Sweetwater.
