Native Instruments is excited to announce KOMPLETE 4, the new version of its
powerful software bundle that has become a mainstay with professional
musicians and producers around the world.
With a universal selection of
state-of-the-art instruments and effects, reinforced through several
powerful updates to some of its key components, KOMPLETE 4 continues to mark
the cutting edge in software synthesis and to provide an invaluable resource
for all areas of modern music production and performance.
KOMPLETE 4 incorporates the latest ABSYNTH 4, BATTERY 3 and FM8 versions,
which add significant creative capabilities over their predecessors and
offer increased integration with Native Instruments' host system KORE and
its KoreSound format. The new KOMPLETE package also includes AKOUSTIK PIANO,
the acclaimed grand-piano emulation that gives musicians and producers
access to a comprehensive range of world-class, performance-ready piano
sounds.
Native Instruments has refocused the content of KOMPLETE 4, which now offers
12 instruments and effects that cover the full range of applications and
musical styles in modern audio production. The sampling instruments INTAKT
and KOMPAKT are no longer part of KOMPLETE, and will be discontinued as
individual products effectively immediately. Comparable functionality is
provided by the more powerful KONTAKT 2 and BATTERY 3 samplers. Owners of
the individual versions of INTAKT and KOMPAKT can make use of a special
crossgrade offer for KONTAKT 2.
All owners of KOMPLETE CARE 2006 will receive a free update to KOMPLETE 4.
The KOMPLETE CARE update program will not be extended beyond its current
2006 version due to a change in Native Instruments' product-release policy.
From now on, relevant product releases will be consolidated and combined
with a corresponding annual revision of the KOMPLETE bundle, which will be
made available to existing KOMPLETE users at attractive update prices.
ABSYNTH 4, BATTERY 3 and FM8 include Universal Binary versions that support
both PowerMac- and Intel-based Macintosh computers. Further Universal Binary
updates for instruments contained in KOMPLETE 4 will be made available in
2006 according to the release schedule as detailed on the NI website, and
will be free of charge for owners of KOMPLETE 4.
KOMPLETE 4 will be available in October 2006 for a suggested retail price of
$ 1499 / 1299 Euro from authorized dealers and in the NI Online Shop. An
update for owners of KOMPLETE 3 will be available for $ 339 / 299 Euro.
Owners of KORE or two qualifying products will be able to purchase an
upgrade to KOMPLETE 4 for $ 1149 / 999 Euro.
All owners of KOMPLETE CARE 2006 as well as all customers who activate
KOMPLETE 3 after September 13th 2006 will receive an update to KOMPLETE 4
free of charge.
Customers who purchase KOMPLETE 4 and KORE after September 13th will receive
a free copy of MASSIVE, Native Instruments' new software synthesizer. This
special limited-time offer expires December 31st 2006.
