REAKTOR 6 PLAYER is the engine of your free sound studio, hosting any REAKTOR-based instruments and effects, such as the free synths BLOCKS BASE and MIKRO PRISM. With REAKTOR 6 PLAYER, you can also power any synthesizers and effects built-in REAKTOR by NI partners.
Alternatively, KOMPLETE NOW is a subscription-based service that provides a new and exciting way to get hands-on with Native Instruments VST collections and sound packs. With the first month offered completely free, KOMPLETE NOW provides access to our hottest synths, samplers, and effects without breaking the bank.
So, when testing with the Oblique RTL (Round Trip Latency) utility with Safe Mode engaged, the best round trip latency (that's in and out again, like when monitoring through effects) it could achieve with eight samples was 5.5ms. Without Safe Mode it got down to 4.3ms. At 64 samples it managed 5.6ms without Safe Mode and 6.6ms with it on. At a more typical setting of 128 samples round trip latency was 11.1ms with Safe Mode and 9.2 without. Around 10ms round-trip is pretty standard for this level of USB audio interface and so the fact that it can cut that in half is pretty impressive. In doing some testing on the output latency while running virtual instruments I found I could get down to just a couple of milliseconds and still have a completely glitch free real-time audio response.
For those looking to expand, there is also KOMPLETE 14 ULTIMATE, with 140 instruments and more than 84,000 sounds, as well as KOMPLETE 14 COLLECTOR'S EDITION, which bundles more than 141,000 sounds, 148 instruments, and Native Instruments flagship software download for the most complete production suite possible.
Collaborations have long been a part of Native Instruments, and now NI Partner Products offer an even wider range of music production tools, instruments, and sounds. Bring your project into new dimensions, with one-off samples and unique recordings from partners around the world.
In September 2004, the company began a partnership with the DJ hardware manufacturing company Stanton Magnetics and with online music store Beatport.[7] 2004 also saw the release of their guitar amplifier and effects pedal emulation software, Guitar Rig. In 2006, Native Instruments restructured into 3 divisions: instruments, DJ, and guitar.[5][8]
Native instruments also produce a number of other sample libraries, virtual instruments and effects processing plug-ins, many of which function through the architecture of Reaktor or Kontakt. Some of these software items are also grouped together in their Komplete software bundle.[21]
The M32 provides dedicated controls for browsing KOMPLETE instruments, effects and loops within the KOMPLETE KONTROL software. Effortlessly find the right sound from over 13,000 of the industry's best virtual instruments and effects. The M32 also ships with a curated selection of KOMPLETE instruments to get you started, including MONARK, SCARBEE MARK 1, THE GENTLEMAN and more.
Native Instruments have released KOMPLETE START, a freely downloadable bundle of virtual instruments and audio effects for use in any VST, AU, and AAX plugin compatible digital audio workstation on PC and Mac.
KOMPLETE START features six virtual synthesizers, nine sample-based instruments, two effects, over 1,500 audio loops, along with the freeware Player editions of Kontakt and Reaktor. Most of the included content was previously available for free download separately, but interested users can now find them conveniently packed into a single product bundle.
However, Komplete 14 select does give you a strong set of assets in your toolkit to spark new ideas and take your tracks to the finish line, along with a nice selection of effects and instruments to boot. You can get all the details on Komplete 14 Select here.
The new partnership also allowed Native Instruments to beef up the bundle with a handful of smaller items from Plugin Alliance and Brainworx like bx_Oberhausen, bx_Crispytuner and LO-FI-AF. None of these instruments or effects individually are likely to convince you one way or another that Komplete's more expensive versions are worth the outlay. But I don't know anyone who is going to complain about having too many plugins.
