Both of these are straightforward to use and capable of great results.
Two new premium libraries are included in Komplete 9 – Session Strings (a string ensemble with an ‘Animator’ section for automatically creating riffs and phrases in multiple styles) and The Giant (a detailed recreation of a Klavins Piano Model 370i – the world’s largest upright piano – that also includes unusual plucked, kicked and scratched techniques). Kontakt is now the go-to sampler for any serious third-party sampled instrument provider, and many of these libraries have been developed with outside assisstance, but don’t forget that even the basic factory content is over 40GB in size.
Almost without exception these are sonically excellent and make use of Kontakt’s customisable interface and advanced low-level scripting.
Komplete 9 Ultimate users also get the Premium Tube Series (two EQs and a compressor developed with Softube), Reverb Classics (emulations of a selection of Lexicon reverb favourites) and the Vintage Compressors bundle alongside existing Komplete effects – so nearly everything you’ll need in a mix session is covered, especially when you also get Guitar Rig 5 Pro and the FX-only versions of many of the included synths (even in the standard Komplete bundle).īy far the biggest hard-drive muncher in Komplete is the Kontakt sample content, supplied as individual multi-gigabyte libraries. Previously these plugins were only within a Guitar Rig shell, so the fact they now appear as standalone AU, VST, RTAS and AAX plugins is very welcome. NI are certainly not the first to do this, and I’m not going to claim that they sound exactly the same as the originals or even other emulations, but they do certainly capture their spirit, and make light work of core mixing tasks. The Solid Mix Series is the big news here, consisting of three plugins – Solid Bus Comp, Solid Dynamics and Solid EQ – that aim to capture the sound and spirit of their famous Solid State Logic (SSL) hardware counterparts. Now we turn our attention to dedicated effects plugins, a relatively new venture for NI.
