What’s included in Komplete 15?
Like its predecessor, Komplete 14 – which launched back in 2022 – Komplete 15 offers four different versions for varying budgets and needs: Select, Standard, Ultimate, and Collector’s Edition.
- Select: A “gateway to professional-grade sound”, Komplete 15 Select offers hand-picked selections of synths, sampled session instruments and other studio-quality effects – curated into three different editions catering to a range of producing disciplines. Beats is aimed at beatmakers working in hip-hop and R&B, Band features sampled instruments for songwriters, and Electronic is angled towards dance music and electronica.
- Standard: Comes with “all the sounds you need”, offering more than 95 pro-grade instruments and effects, over 40 Expansions, and over 50,000 sounds.
- Ultimate: Has an “extensive array of tools” for professional production, scoring, performance, and sound design. Includes over 150 premium instruments and effects, ranging from cutting-edge synths to symphonic sample libraries, and more than 70 Expansion sound packs.
- Collector’s Edition: This tier is described as “virtually limitless”, unlocking “nearly everything” Native Instruments has on offer. More than 165 instruments and effects are available here, along with a total of 120 Expansion sound packs.
