The first "Ultimate" bundle was 2011's Komplete 8 Ultimate.The worksheet and its tabs represent the raw data, and what follows is some various trivia and analysis of Komplete over time. The Legend tab describes the color scheme used in the worksheet (green products are first-appearance-in-Komplete, red products last-appearance/discontinued, etc.) The Release Details tab gives detailed stats on each Komplete bundle (month and year of release, price, number of products, etc.). It lists every major version of every individual product that was ever included in a Komplete bundle, and when each product was introduced or discontinued. You can find my detailed product comparison of all Komplete versions right here.

To satisfy my own curiosity, and to help my fellow KLFs (Komplete Lovin' Fools), I spent a fair amount of time compiling the contents and release information of every Komplete bundle since the series debuted.Ĭlick image to view the Komplete product version comparison worksheet. Product Comparison of all Komplete VersionsĮvery year or two when a new Komplete release looms, music message boards light up with users asking, "If I have version X of Komplete, what would I gain by upgrading to version Y?" This hasn't always been an easy question to answer, because Native Instruments preserves very little information about older products on their site. No other single virtual instrument publisher offers quite the breadth and depth that the Komplete series has consistently delivered since that first big blue box hit store shelves.

When they packed their nine best products into one giant box and dubbed it "Komplete," the message was clear: Why go anywhere else for software instruments when everything you need is right here? Today's Komplete Ultimate bundles are the soft-synth equivalent of Waves Mercury. In 2003, a seven year old Native Instruments knew what it wanted to be when it grew up: The dominant force in virtual music instruments.

UPDATE (August 1, 2016): The comparison chart has now been updated for Komplete 11! Please see the new " Native Instruments Komplete Version Comparison 2.0" for the latest updates on Komplete bundles. Maybe this is another fallout of Covid economics, maybe EMH needed more capital.UPDATE (May 7, 2020): I am no longer able to stay on top of this stuff, but user gNNY from the Native Instruments forum has continued my work with his own version of the database. "Investment firm EMH Partners has sold its majority stake in Berlin-based music technology company Native Instruments to tech-focused investment firm, Francisco Partners."ĭoubt if NI had any say in this. "In 2017, EMH invested €50 million in Native Instruments, followed by a further investment in 2020 to achieve majority ownership in the company" Still when EMH Partners took over a majority share of NI I don't recall major changes but maybe I just wasn't paying attention. **unless FP's corporate ego demands a rebranding. NI is a global company as is Francisco Partners as such I don't expect company or product names** to change unless assets aren't transferred in the deal as was in the case of Cakewalk with transition from Gibson to Bandlab - but time will tell. Looks like it's time for a new company to become the industry standard. Most have been cash grabs because they had large communities and customer bases already and they looked to capitalise on that before dropping the further development.

Looking through their list of companies they've invested in, I can't see a single one that has actually benefitted from being bought out by them. Especially since it's an investment firm. If NI themselves couldn't fix the disaster it's become, I can't see some new company coming in and doing it for them. I see development on Kontakt coming to a screeching halt.

They will likely continue to push out shovelware libraries to throw into Komplete to keep giving people reasons to upgrade every year. This is especially true since many already have Kontakt which is what they will likely be banking on making their money back with.

Possibly a subscription but there is so much competition out there and so many people who already own some version of Komplete now that it may not be worth the investment. What I am starting to expect will happen won't be unlike what happened with Magix when they bought Sony Creative Suite we'll see a yearly update of Komplete with not much added.
