Native Instruments has released the latest version of its Komplete music production suite, featuring 62 new additions, such as the unique Absynth 6. Komplete 26 is available in multiple versions, starting with three $99 Select bundles: Beats, Band, and Electronic. The prices increase significantly, with Standard at $549, Ultimate at $1,249, and the Collector’s Edition at $1,949. There’s a discount for upgrading from Komplete 15, but upgrading the Collector’s Edition still costs $399.
Komplete 26 Standard includes tools like Absynth 6, Massive X, and Kontakt 8 for synth and sample-based instruments, along with Guitar Rig 7 Pro. It also offers mixing and mastering plugins from iZotope, such as Ozone 12, Neutron 5, and Nectar 4.
Upgrading to Ultimate or Collector’s Edition adds new features like sampled Steinway D grand pianos, LCO Producer Strings, and Moments: Vocal Clouds. However, these additions increase the download size, with the Collector’s Edition reaching 1.6 TB.
