KOMPLETE is the go-to production suite for artists, musicians, and sound designers, packing all the creative tools you’ll ever need into four differently-sized packages. Supersize your library with our biggest update ever, featuring new synths, new sampled instruments, new effects, and – for the first time ever – Expansions sound packs. All the sounds you need for any idea and any production task.

KOMPLETE 12 is our biggest update to date, bringing you a host of new instruments and effects, as well as refreshed presets and new content for MASSIVE, BATTERY 4, MONARK, and more. Check out all the new additions to KOMPLETE 12, KOMPLETE 12 ULTIMATE, and the Collector’s Edition.

Each version of KOMPLETE 12 includes a hand-picked selection of Expansions – genre-specific sound packs loaded with synth presets, drum kits, one-shots, samples, and loops. Created by top artists and sound designers, Expansions can be used in any DAW, and work with a range of Native Instruments products, including MASSIVE, BATTERY 4, MONARK, and REAKTOR PRISM.

Getting up and running with the biggest KOMPLETE to date couldn’t be simpler. If you choose a physical copy, all of your instruments, effects, and additional content come preloaded onto an HDD or pen drive. Choose a download version, and your software becomes available right away via Native Access – your one-stop hub for easy product installation, registration, and updates.

Skip the setup, and get straight to creating: Everything in KOMPLETE 12 comes ready-mapped to your NI hardware by the plug-in developers themselves, so getting hands-on with all your instruments and effects is as simple as connecting a KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard or MASCHINE controller.
