The ultimate Komplete upgrade

Updating from Komplete Collector’s Edition 14 unlocks a wealth of new content and powerful upgrades. You get Kontakt 8, the latest version of the industry-standard sampler, alongside an expanded Play Series, new flagship instruments like Circular, Odes and Claire: Avant, plus fresh Brainworx and iZotope processing tools. It is a significant step up in sound quality, workflow and creative range, while still feeling familiar if you are already at home in the Komplete environment.

Flagship instruments for every genre

Komplete 26 Collector’s Edition is packed with Native Instruments’ most iconic instruments. Massive X delivers next-generation wavetable synthesis with a redesigned interface and new Play Page, while Absynth 6 returns as a legendary semi-modular synth for evolving textures and soundscapes. Reaktor 6, Massive, FM8 and Monark cover everything from classic analogue tones to experimental digital design, and the latest additions like Circular, Odes and Claire: Avant bring fresh cinematic and contemporary flavours to your productions.

World-class scoring and session tools

For composers and producers working in film, TV, games or modern production, Komplete 26 Collector’s Edition offers a deep scoring palette. LCO Producer Strings and Cremona Quartet Ensemble provide detailed, characterful strings, while instruments like Noire, Arkhis, Fables and Kithara deliver evocative pianos, textures and hybrid orchestral colours. The full Session Series of guitar and bass instruments, plus the Electric Keys Definitive Collection, make it easy to add realistic performances and classic keyboard tones without leaving your DAW.

Mixing, mastering and creative effects

Beyond instruments, Komplete 26 Collector’s Edition gives you a comprehensive suite of studio-grade processing. Guitar Rig 7 Pro serves as a flexible multi-effects rack and amp simulator, while the iZotope ELements Tools (Ozone 12, Neutron 5 and Nectar 4) covers essential mastering, mixing and vocal processing. New Brainworx effects such as bx_enhancer and bx_glue, plus the innovative FXEQ, help you refine and shape your sound with precision, so your finished tracks stand up against commercial releases.

Expansions and seamless integration

With over 150 Expansion sound packs included, you get instant access to genre-focused presets, drum kits, one-shots, samples and loops that drop straight into your projects. Everything integrates tightly with Kontakt 8, Massive X, Battery 4 and other NI instruments, and works in any DAW.
