Native Instruments expands its Komplete series with Komplete 26Native Instruments has made its Komplete bundle that little bit more complete. With 69 new instruments and effects to play with, Komplete 26 comes as the Komplete bundle’s most comprehensive collection to date.
Expanding on the already impressive Komplete 15 bundle, Komplete 26 boasts over 340 products and over 180,000 sounds in total. The selection spans Native Instrument’s premium instrumental offerings, as well as mixing tools from iZotope, Brainworx and plenty more.
Stand-out additions come in the form of semi-modular synth plugin Absynth 6, grand piano instruments Noire and Claire, as well as Moments: Vocal Clouds’ ethereal soundscaping abilities.

Elsewhere, Marco Polo Drums, 24k Drums and Songwriter Drums also all allow you to experiment with a vast selection of drumming sounds. There’s also the new Definitive Electric Keys Collection to add a vintage edge to electric keyboard sounds, Session Bassist’s Jam Bass, as well as LCO Producer Strings’ array of unique string parts specially captured and performed by the London Contemporary Orchestra.
The expanded bundle also features Scene variants Bloodplant, Lotus, Nightshade and Willow, with the Scene offerings coming as a specialised tool for composers, geared towards sonic storytelling to accompany visual worlds.

Alongside all the new offerings, Komplete 26 of course comes loaded with all of Komplete 15’s previous tools and sounds, like FM8, Kontakt 8, Massive X, and more. It’s also designed to seamlessly integrate with Kontrol keyboards, as well as Maschine and NKS partners.
Though, users should note that there are three different tiers on offer, with a different price depending on if you’re upgrading a Komplete bundle or buying it new. If you’re a pre-existing Komplete user, the Collector’s Edition comes in as the most loaded collection, sitting at an update price of $399.
There are cheaper alternatives available, but they provide you with slightly less upgrades; the Ultimate bundle sits at $299, while the Standard bundle costs $149, with lowest tier missing out on Absynth 6, the Scene series the LCO Producer Strings to name a few.
For those keen to dive into Komplete for the very first time, Komplete 6 Standard costs $549, while the Ultimate bundle sits at $1249. The complete Collector’s Edition will cost you $1949.
