There are standalone versions of the major apps, too. But you can also get lost and forget the thing you were inspired to do. Am I the only person having this dilemma? If you're a producer or composer whose work spans a range of musical genres, Komplete 10 continues to offer itself as the ultimate sonic toolkit. I did, however, encounter a few rare glitches, like when Reaktor quit unexpectedly. Also new to Komplete 10 Ultimate, Native Instruments' Definitive Piano Collection adds three exquisitely sampled acoustic pianos to your arsenal. What's not in doubt is that Komplete Ultimate remains a class leader.
The library supplies 175 phrases, mostly looped legato articulations, arpeggios, and ostinato patterns. 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. It delivers eleven full instruments covering the entire instrument range, with synths, pianos, drums, percussion, and effects. To dampen the tone and soften the attack of some samples, felt and cotton fabric were placed between the hammers and strings see Figure 3. If you decide to buy, hope you enjoy it.
Record chord sequences up to eight measures long on the Harmony page. Because the phrases are recorded performances of real string players, Emotive Strings can add substantial realism to your string arrangements. Therefore my answer is either get Komplete or get both. Three new piano titles - The Grandeur, The Gentleman and The Maverick - further expand upon the options offered by Kontakt's already impressive ivory-tickling options too. In addition to Kontakt Factory Library, Komplete 11 comes with Session Horns and Session Strings. And honestly, once you listen to some of Plugin Guru's packs, you might be sold on Omnisphere right there lol.
. For this, you gain Rounds, Kontour and Polyplex, several new Kontakt libraries, effects like Molekular and SuperCharger and more besides. Kontour is an uber-responsive phase-modulation synth that lets you create sounds from organic to aggressive. The ability to design and assemble your own virtual instruments and effects. Priced at over 80% less than the total of its constituent parts bought individually, the Ultimate edition represents a truly insane bargain that anyone serious about their music production has to give serious consideration to. They are truly 2 completely different programs.
In the end, I decided I wanted a one-stop-shop to use to design sounds - and Omnisphere's multi mode really caught my attention. And it's awesome on pianos too. You can control dynamic levels with the mod wheel, though, and you have impressively flexible articulation, with tremolos, trills, harmonics, staccato notes, and similar variations enabled by keyswitching. But I just couldn't bring myself to like them enough to buy them. Native Instruments' Komplete has long stood as the best deal in music software, bundling every synth, sampler and effect they make into a single blockbuster package. Hey , how do you activate? Both K9 and K10 were released after ~18 months, compared to previous releases which were mostly released annually. In addition to ensemble strings, the five Kontakt libraries furnish solo and ensemble woodwinds and brass.
You also now get Abbey Road Vintage Drums, the Scarbee Rickenbacker Bass and the excellent Giant upright piano, which can be used as an authentic sounding real instrument or morphed to make strange sound effects. Other than that, I don't really use anything else in Komplete. Although Select lacks full-fledged versions of Kontakt and Reaktor, it supplies Kontakt 5 Player and Reaktor 6 Player. Damage is kind of like a soundtrack in a box, with heavy, up to the minute pulsating beats, rhythms and textures easily editable to create dynamic and exciting movie scores. I'm not entirely sure how well the albions or metropolis ark could handle my cues I've written in Sibelius 8. It had the full engine, so was capable of playing any existing Reaktor ensembles, but apparently couldn't be used to create new instruments. Scarbee A 200, Clavinet, the drum samplers, etc.
Registered Komplete 8 Ultimate owners got these updates for free. Sellers to find out what they need to do, and potential buyers can. This gave me the ability to cash in some Southwest points for Amazon gift cards and get this basically for free. I would like to know what everyone else thinks between the two. The Essentials collection is an entry-level version of the Symphony Series, which offers more versatility and much more content at greater expense.
I have downloaded the remaining 2 disks 14+15 and extracted all the content to an external hard disk. The newly launched Native Access drastically simplifies downloading, installing, activating, and updating Native Instruments software. Form is a new Reaktor-based instrument that resynthesizes sampled audio and turns it into pliable material for creating unique and unusual timbres. Are you gunning for orchestral as a priority, or are you looking for an all round palette? Native Instruments announce a brand new version of their enormous Komplete collections — Komplete 11 — boasting a greater breadth and depth of virtual instruments and effects than ever before. Native Instruments added a bevy of new effects and instruments to update your production palette.
The earlier emulation products were and. Because I already had Komplete 10 and had kept up with regular updates, I needed to download only certain portions, but it still took about 24 hours to get everything I needed using the application Native Access, which replaces Service Center. It's still pretty hard to find what you are looking for. They are two very different beasts. I love omnisphere and I use it all the time but I use Kontakt all the time too and there are more-often viable substitutes for Omnisphere instruments in Komplete than there are Komplete substitutes in Omnisphere. If i was a student looking for orchestral libraries, i would probably go with with one of those. Session Horns samples a four piece horn section and can be played freely or using over 170 flexible pre-recorded phrases.
