It is for the most part good (certainly better than the sounds from a hardware ROMPLER of not too distant vintage), but certainly not on par with more specialized products. Kontakt is the "general library", containing a wide variety of instruments including standard rock/pop band instruments, choirs, orchestra (including solo brass and strings), modern synth patches, urban beats, vintage synths and world instruments (no banjo?). There is a sea of videos and articles out there describing each instrument in detail. If you want to know what is not included in the smaller Komplete 9 package, please visit the NI website.Īlso bear in mind that this is a huge bundle, and so I am more familiar with some parts of it than others. I have revised this review somewhat after originally posting it as I simply thought of better ways to say what I was trying to say.
I am not much into sound design, and so am lacking knowledge in areas (for example advanced synthesis) that others are far more qualified to comment on. Also, I approach this as a singer-songwriter who produces his own material. I am far from an expert, and my experience with competing products is limited. When making my first software purchases I spent hours reading reviews and watching videos, and so I hope I can provide to you the kind of information I was looking for at the time. I've been using K8U for over a year now, and have had K9U since it was released a few months ago. My perspective and intended audience are those new or relatively new to the world of virtual instruments and effects and are wondering about this bundle, although I hope everyone can find it of use. I'll be reviewing the same material (with my own humble opinions) plus adding in the new instruments and effects that came with K9 and K9U. The reviewer describes some of the products with more technical info, and is still very relevant and well worth reading. Native Instruments Komplete 8 and K8 Ultimate
