help Native Instruments Komplete FAQ

What is the difference between Komplete Standard, Ultimate, and Collector's Edition?

Each higher edition adds more sampled instruments, effects, and Expansion sound packs rather than replacing the same core applications. Native Instruments' current Komplete 26 range lists Standard, Ultimate, and Collector's Edition, with Collector's Edition containing more than 160 instruments and effects.

Does Komplete include the full version of Kontakt?

The paid Komplete bundles generally include the full Kontakt sampler, while the exact Kontakt version depends on the Komplete generation. Komplete 26 includes Kontakt 8, which can load licensed Kontakt libraries as well as user-created instruments.

Is Komplete a DAW like Ableton Live or Logic Pro?

No. Komplete is a bundle of instruments, sampled libraries, and effects that run inside hosts such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, and Pro Tools, although several products can also operate standalone.

How much storage does Native Instruments Komplete require?

The requirement varies dramatically by edition because products such as Kontakt libraries contain large sample collections. Ultimate and Collector's Edition can occupy hundreds of gigabytes, but Native Access lets users install only the products they need.
