Native Instruments Komplete 14 is already an impressive collection of some of the finest virtual instruments and effects available. But, between March 1st 2023 and March 31st 2023, customers who purchase either a full or upgraded version of K14 standard, ultimate or collectors edition will receive even more!
There are four distinct flavours of Komplete 14 – Select, Standard (also known as just Komplete 14), Ultimate and Collectors Edition. Each tier will require more hard drive space and, since NI decided to ditch the USB HDD for installation and move to downloads only, a decent internet connection to speed up the install.
Once you’ve downloaded your K14 bundle you’ll have access to synths ranging from classics such as Massive or FM8 right through to the latest version of the mighty Reaktor. You’ll also find impressive effects that can manipulate and mangle your sounds as required, and then there’s the impressive Kontakt 7 – a powerhouse of a sampler with a factory library in excess of 30GB.
When purchasing a qualifying full bundle or upgrade/update you’ll receive:
KOMPLETE 14 STANDARD (FUL/UPD/UPG) + Monolith (worth £82)
KOMPLETE 14 ULTIMATE (FUL/UPD/UPG) + Monolith + Elysium (combined value £261)
KOMPLETE 14 COLLECTOR’S EDITION (FUL/UPD/UPG) + Monolith + Elysium + BALKAN Ethnic Orchestra (combined value £558)
If you’re not sure which upgrade is best for you see our handy guide.
