The Maverick delivers a wide range of color and an unconventional sound where each note is full of character. The Maverick is a recreation of a sonically singular instrument – a 1905 concert grand made for the Prince of Prussia. Its bright, silky top end and booming, full bass are equally suited to a variety of styles including mainstream pop, jazz, and classical productions. The Grandeur is a detailed sampled instrument of a beloved concert grand piano. Sampled with all the original parts, the instrument’s delicate and expressive sound gives producers distinctive, turn-of-the-century character with a supreme level of control for their recordings. The Gentleman is a sampled instrument based on an upright piano from 1908. A host of effects including dynamics, reverb, glitch, and more are also on board for additional sound shaping.Īlso included in both Komplete 10 and Komplete 10 Ultimate is The Definitive Piano Collection – three new high-definition pianos offering detail and a varied and nuanced sonic range: Up to four samples per sound slot are randomized on the global, sound or sample level. Polyplex delivers an intuitive, fun way to design drum kits. Kontour is the latest synthesizer from NI founder Stephan Schmitt – an extremely responsive synth capable of organic textures from mallets to plucked and bowed strings to distorted, aggressive and noisy sounds. Rounds combines powerful sound design capabilities with advanced sequencing techniques, allowing users to play melodies, chords, and arpeggios while sequencing and morphing sounds in real time. Notably, the prices of these bundles remain the same, increasing the saving to almost 90% over the cost of purchasing the instruments and effects separately.īoth Komplete 10 and Komplete 10 Ultimate début the brand-new Rounds, Kontour, and Polyplex: Komplete 10 Ultimate includes all 75 current Komplete Instruments and Effects at the time of release and over 440 GB of content. Komplete 10 now includes 39 instruments and effects.
That's just an observation/guess I haven't tried it, so I don't know if this could end up tripping you up when Service Center goes to activate/register the product.įor example, if you ran the individual installer for "The Mouth", is it still recognized under the K10U license key, or will SC try to activate it as a separate product? This I do not know, but I'll post my results here if I ever have cause to find out.Native Instruments today announced Komplete 10 and Komplete 10 Ultimate, which both come with six brand-new instruments – Rounds, Kontour, Polyplex, and the three new sampled pianos that comprise The Definitive Piano Collection. If the "global installer" confuses you to hell and back, then you might be able to just run the individual installer for any product you want to add. But at least I understand it better now.Īlso.the media hard drive does contain individual installers for each product. This is very messy logic in my opinion, because the behavior of the installer is NOT consistent across the board. So be VERY careful about running the installer and setting all products to "unavailable" you could get a very unpleasant surprise!īut if you make them all "unavailable" then make some other product "available", then all the ones you set to unavailable won't be uninstalled and instead the newly "available" one will be installed.
If you de-select everything (make them "unavailable"), and the installer recognizes that those products are not of a more recent version, then it will uninstall everything including those products that were not checked (installed at an earlier invocation of the installer). When you start the installer, all those items that you last installed will be indicated as "available".
After making observations when installing K10U on my workstation and Windows laptop, I have learned something about the installer's behavior when you run it from the shipped media hard drive, and it jives with something that happened to me a year ago on my laptop (I just didn't realize it back then).
