Flagship Instruments and Effects

At the heart of Komplete 26 Ultimate are Native Instruments’ most important platforms. Kontakt 8 delivers an enhanced version of the industry-leading sampler with new tools for faster sound shaping. Massive X provides next-generation wavetable synthesis with powerful modulation and the updated Play Page for hands-on control, while Guitar Rig 7 Pro offers a flexible multi-effects rack and amp simulator for guitars, synths, vocals and more. Alongside icons like Reaktor 6, Massive, FM8 and Monark, you have a complete sound design laboratory ready for any project.

New Creative Additions

Komplete 26 Ultimate introduces a wealth of new instruments that expand your sonic palette. Absynth 6 returns as a legendary semi-modular synthesiser for evolving textures and soundscapes, combining granular, FM, wavetable and subtractive synthesis with deep modulation and creative effects. New titles such as Claire, Erosia, Electric Keys Reeds Duo and Timber Duo, plus Session Guitarist Electric Ruby Deluxe and Session Bassist Jam Bass, give you expressive, modern sounds that slot straight into contemporary productions.

Cinematic and Orchestral Power

LCO Producer Strings captures the genre-defying sound of the London Contemporary Orchestra, while Cremona Quartet Ensemble lets you craft intricate string arrangements from four of the world’s most precious instruments. Scene Series instruments and cinematic-focused Expansions add premium atmospheres, pulses and textures in streamlined interfaces, ideal for fast scoring and sound design.
