Amazing selection of sounds, synths and drums. Haven't even scratched the surface, but the potential is amazing.

Great software, not sure what else to say about it.

Very easy to get up and running. The vast amount of potential sounds and effects is great and the "Getting Started" Manuals from NI get you going in no time. Experimenting with any of the programs in Komplete is fairly easy and the full manuals are clearly laid out to fully explore the programs.

So far every thing has been great. As with any sound program, there is always the set up, latency and what not, but the controls for audio/midi setup are easy to deal with.

Buying the programs separately would be expensive, so Komplete is a great deal.

Aside from registration and manual downloads, I haven't had to deal with any issues. So a 10.

Reading about all the features and knowing that NI are a respected company makes it worth the price. And, the upgrade prices don't seem too bad.

Experimental, electronica

1000's of top notch sounds for immediate usage as presets.... or make your own with the virtually unlimited amount of settings. There's enough here for new discovery to last you many many years.

An excellent selection of Instruments are available in Komplete 7. These also run as stand alone outside your DAW. Even though I am also a guitarist as well as a keyboardist.... I find Guitar Rig 4 the weakest of them all.

Very straightforward installation. A complete install takes up 90+GB of space. It took about 3 hours to complete on my system including the updates. Super easy to follow user guides. The documentation is very good as well. It's easily accesable electronically within the programs themselves... no hard copies are included.

I'm loving the inspiration this program has provided with the tons of instruments it provides.

I ended up getting this with a 10% discount and free shipping on top of an already great price.

I had a small issue cashing in the $60 e-coupon. I was charged for my purchase of the add-on I chose. It took NI about a week to remedy this. There website is lacking and could use a facelift.

This is one of the best investments I've made for my home studio. The sounds are amazing and I have no problem running it on my computer. I am a big time electronic producer and I now my creativity will never be limited.

It came with a nice outside box but sadly UPS knocked it around a bit and roughed it up. The discs were in perfect condition. I was actually shocked that it was really 12 discs but I knew I got my moneys worth after I saw the savings. I do wish that it came with instruction manuals but I'm not to worried about learning to use the equipment.

It's completely easy thanks to the Kore sound finder. Right now it's not easy for me to modify sounds but I'm learning and so far it's not to bad. This runs smooth on my i7 950 and 12gb of ram got no problem at all. The manual for installing isn't really needed it's relatively fool proof to mess up but it would be nice to have manuals for the actual instruments themselves.

Great quality it's Native Instruments and you really can expect nothing but the best from these guys. I plan on upgrading Komplete 7 already to take advantage of my TB hard drive.

It's a steal, its almost $4,000 in gear for $499. That's insane you'd be out of your mind not to get in on this deal.

I haven't tried support yet so I'm going to hope I'm not giving them a 10 for nothing. I would assume since I gave them a good bit of my money they would gladly help me out.

The look of the instruments and synthesizers matches the quality of the sound and they are out of this world.

Mixed. Some of the sound quality is great, others not so much. Honestly I think it's hard to keep quality high as all the providers keep raising the bar. If you really want excellent quality, then purchase first class libraries from 3rd party specialists, and plug them into KONTAKT. The NI range though is still extensive and worthwhile.

The core value is the flagship products: KONTAKT, REAKTOR, GUITAR RIG 5 PRO. These are key enablers in the composing/production process that bolt onto DAWs. Also, the sheer range of tools (effects, synth engines, samples, drum machines), resources etc to aid and inspire creativity is expansive.

I use FL Studio 10 which I love for the workflow and ease of use. It's tricky to get some of the NI range to integrate. There are work arounds, but a lot of work to get what you want. In stand alone the NI products are well laid out, but some of the configs/integration to DAWs can be very challenging if you're not an expert.

Overall the software seems to operate well, although I'm not sure about the quality of the code and software engineering across the board for consistency. Again, it's a mixed bag with some working really well, and others seeming a bit dated and clunky, but with a nice veneer.

For the money, I'd say you get a lot of very useful software on multiple levels to work with. Just the core products and libraries alone are great foundations and enablers. You truly get a vast smorgasbord in this bundle. In my view a must have, despite some draw backs (nothing's perfect, right?).

I've never been so insulted, condescended to, and treated with the utmost contempt in my entire life by the so called phone "support" (Truly a misnomer). It should be renamed to ABUSE LINE, "Komplete" with lack of help to solve issues. Unintuitive Manuals/knowledge base/videos are poorly thought out and hard to search.

I was so looking forward to getting into the products, and in some ways I'm still really happy with a lot of what Komplete has to offer. What dampened this was abusive unhelpful support & unintuitive manuals/knowledge base. I don't regret my purchase though, and am using as much as I can to good effect.

Playing Guitar for around 35 years. Composing for this time as well.

Mixed tastes in melodic music ranging from classical through 60's to present, Rock, blues, Jazz, and all sorts of exotic and alt

wow, if you are trying to step your game up, Komplete 6 is for you mostly every sound is pre-mixed and extrememely glossy so the need for post production is minimal I rewire it into Logic 9, worth every dime

Comes with about 8 DVDs, they jipped me on the manuals tho, I saw a youtube video of some kid unboxing Komplete 6 and they gave him a pretty manual for each VST, (Absynth, Battery, Massive, Kontakt, Reaktor) but mine was just a crappy all in one manual with a cardboard filler under it where the nice manuals used to be

pretty easy, I mean I just opened Logic and it recognized the new software, then I just opened a new software instrument and loaded one of the VSTs and I was playing

Ive only owned it for 3 days so hopefully it wont start to crash on me or anything, but I haven't gotten any errors yet......it IS a CPU hog tho

for $500 bucks? Nothing compares, marketing hit the nail on the head with this price

not yet

the sounds speak for themselves

Kontakt 4: Superb samples. Library is amazing. I love the band section, especially the horns. I also am in love with Upright, the Berlin concert grand, The NY Grand, and the Legendary Vienna Concert Grand pianos, along with the many effect options. Next the MM-Bass section is The Truth. The Vintage Organs, with the Drawbars and the vibrato switch pedal are strikingly authentic. Finally, The Orchestra samples. Unreal. I never have been satisfied before with, Violin/Viola samples, but this has finally satisfied my needs. The entire sections is breathtaking. I also recently purchased the Scarbee Funk Guitarist. But beware. You cannot play the midi samples note for note. They're only patch samples. Reaktor 5: It is dizzyingly overwhelming, with the synths, landscapes and Sound Fx. I am ready to write my own action movie for film score. Ha! Plus the total control with the tweakables. You can't ever be happy enough. So many options its scary! Guitar Rig 4: Nevr seen anything like it. The presets, the amplifiers, the cabinets, the effects, wow. I love it in every way. The Amp patvhes in Logic 9 will now sit on the shelf. I love the Strat, Jazz, and Blues sambles. Logic Pro seemed to conviently forget those. Haven't had much experience yet with, the Kore player, Absynth, and I only just played around with FM8 and Battery 3. I don't use Battery much because I have Stylus RMX by Spectrasonics, except for they don't have orchestra drum kits or percussion. So I use a combo of Battery 3, Kontakt 4 and Logic 9. I wish more sample types where added. Especially to the band instruments. The Horns are suffering badly. I wish you had samples to include all of them together. Sometimes, its too much work to have to go back and layer them each. Plus they need more effects. Like Crecendo, Burning, or a drop off at the end. The Horns are cool, they just need more effects.

I wish the Kontakt 4 had the acoustic guitars where you could sample them with strumming. I like the patches, but you cant sample them. What's up with that?

Too good to be true.

The best teakables, and options, and effects. I would take this anywhere.

When I first purchased this product, my excitement quickly dissolved when I was installing the software. It took more than 8 hrs. Not only that, but I had a few issues registering the product, and had to wait to receive my $60.00 voucher. Customer service is horrible, a factor that none of us ever think about when purchasing, and a factor that product owners bank on. Plus I also heard that Kontakt omits some of their samples when you purchase the Komplete 7 series, rather than the stand alone player, I thought Apple was bad. Lol!

If you are a serious musician, you must have this. Its too good to be true.

This is one of the best sounding packages one can get for that price, bar none. It is a solid production core for musicians of any genre.

I found it really easy to use, especially the new Kontakt. I need a visual reference to what I am doing, instead of always looking at wave patters and numbers, and that is what I got when working with Kontakt. However, if you do want to go in depth, it gives you a lot of creativity to add your personal touch.

So far, it's been working great

Can't go wrong with it! Fantastic package for a great price.
