Native Instruments KOMPLETE 7 is the latest version of ultimate software collection that includes a bundle of 24 synthesizers, pianos, organs, samplers and effects that will ignite your music production process with burning creativity. This 90GB package contains more than 10,000 production-ready sounds, suitable for all styles and genres.

KONTAKT 4 is a industry-standard software sampler with a 43GB library, a flexible sound architecture and endless possibilities for tweaking your samples. It supports advanced scripting, which is why it is one of the most popular samplers for which other companies develop expressive instrument libraries. Editing, looping, slicing, time stretching, and pitch shifting are all basic functions of Kontakt 4, and 19 studio-grade effects give you even more sound shaping options.

Battery 3 is a professional drum sampler with vast mapping and sound tweaking capabilities, maximum ease-of-use plus a 12GB drum kit library. Adjustable articulations, such as flam, humanize, and roll, give you everything you need to create natural-feeling rhythms without a trace of that "drum machine" sound. And Despite Battery 3's powerful sampling potential and effects environment, it is still one of the easiest-to-program professional-quality drum samplers on the market. If you want to "go vintage" with your drums, then you'll love the inclusion of Abbey Road | 60s Drums. You get two amazing classic kits, recorded at the legendary Abbey Road studios - using period-correct equipment.

Komplete 7 also gives you a collection of powerful synthesizers such as Massive, FM8, Absynth 5, Reaktor 5.5, Reaktor Prism, Reaktor Spark, and Acoustic Refractions. Massive is the heavyweight synthesizer for fat basses and piercing leads; from creamy analog sounds to dirty, brute force audio. FM8 provides you FM synthesis at its best, reproducing the shimmer of the DX7-style electric piano and the shine of early synth brass. It can also produce a wide range of strange and etherial sounds. Absynth 5 is a semi-modular synthesizer providing a vast range of sonic possibilities, perfect for pads, endlessly evolving soundscapes, synthesizer sounds, and more. When it comes to strange and etherial, it's the king of long and evolving pads that grow, swell, and explode over time. Finally, Reaktor 5.5 can do just about anything. Dive deeply enough into Reaktor 5.5's modular architecture and you can quite literally make almost any sound you can think of. If you love more unconventional synth sounds and polyphonic performance, Reaktor Prism will definitely inspire you. Or, you can access dozens of unique instruments based on unusual real-world sampled sources, with Acoustic Refractions. Reaktor Spark brings an entirely new approach to subtractive synthesis, and it's outstanding both in the studio and onstage.

Guitar Rig 4 Pro is a professional software for guitar and bass with countless amps, cabinets and effects to create every imaginable guitar and bass tone. A Matched Cabinet feature instantly gives you tried-and-true combinations of amps and cabinets so you can spend more time playing and less time worrying about your tone. And the Control Room function lets you create the sound of professional studio recordings that cut through the mix. If you want to head into more aggressive territory, then dig into Rammfire. This heavy-duty amp emulator is modeled on Rammstein's Richard Z. Kruspe's own recording rig.

In Komplete 7, you can get even more amazing instruments like the Scarbee MM-Bass instrument, giving you the unmistakeable sound of an authentic '70s funk bass. The fun continues, with Vintage Organs, the Scarbee Mark I and Scarbee A-200 electric pianos, and the Scarbee Clavinet Pianet. You'll appreciate the New York Concert Grand, Berlin Concert Grand, Vienna Concert Grand, and Upright Piano when you want to put premium pianos on your tracks. Add impressive, distinctive, and downright mind-bending effects to your tracks and mixes, with The Finger ( a multi-effect that can be played like an instrument), Traktor's 12 (a dozen great effects from Traktor Pro), and the Reflektor convolution reverb.

Native Instruments Guitar Rig Kontrol 4 Features

Connect two guitars or basses simultaneously
Two inputs allow the use of two guitars or basses simultaneously. Monitor everything with the dedicated headphone socket without needing a P.A. Ideal for practicing and on the road!

Take control!
Rig Kontrol 4's continuous expression pedal and its nine switches are easily assignable to any parameter and afford complete real-time control of Guitar Rig 4. Should you need real-time access to more parameters additional controllers and pedals may be connected to the dedicated inputs as well as to the MIDI interface. Switch presets, turn effects on and off, use the pedal as a wah-wah or volume pedal - all while keeping your fingers on the strings. The controller's data is transmitted via USB 2.0 - ensuring a much higher resolution and more precise control than via MIDI.

Seamless integration with the software
The Guitar Rig 4 software allows fast, easy and convenient assignment of Rig Kontrol 4's switches and pedal to software parameters and saves the assignments with the preset. If you wish, you can define a different controller assignment for every preset. The new modulation matrix makes it possible to control multiple parameters just one controller, e.g. control the delay time, delay feedback and delay wet/dry with one pedal movement!

New Snapshot feature
The new snapshot function makes it possible to store different states of the same rack, this means you can change as many parameters of the current preset as you like with the push of one button. Imagine laying down different snapshots of one song for chorus, verse or bridge - with complete ease and efficiency
