Komplete Ultimate Preview

Someone found this preview image, seems to have a light version of NI Symphony?

Looks like they've got "One Knob" series going on in there...

Those "one knob" things, one says "Woodwind Enseble"...with "one knob"?
 

All those one knob things seem to have the names of the symphonic stuff NI has been recording. Some clever folk think it is white while the full version is dark to indicate a 'light' version. Some think the upper left thing is a new guitar rig.

I think it is GR5.  If it were a new version, they would have put out an image with some new components.  It looks like Fast Compressor, Soldano, Control Room Pro, Stereo Detune.

Yep, not bad, but I'm good with K10U until the summer of 2017 when upgrades are half off.

Maybe a new full blown synth 
And upgrade that old guitar thing, as well as of Kontakt, of course.

The only things in there I don't recognize from Ultimate 10, apart from the "one knob" things, are some Indian percussion, an Una Corda piano, Tim Exile's "Flesh" (for drums) and an acoustic guitar. Oh and Reaktor 6 I guess.

The Indian percussion thing is the offering called India. I happened to have that one. I can't say I've used it yet on a song, but the sounds are really nice and I'm glad I have it. I'd like to use it when it can contribute to a song in a creative way. I like it.

This Flesh thing seems pretty interesting:

It does look right up my alley that thing. I love anything that takes some kind of raw material and turns it into something new. To this end I have hours and hours of fun with Resochord, one of the most underrated ensembles in the Reaktor factory library. It takes an audio input, usually something percussive, and uses it via an envelope follower to resonate 6 virtual "strings" the pitches of which you can control with a MIDI input. So you can feed it a drum track and your MIDI notes and you'll be playing these strings to the rhythm of the drum track. You can get some really unique stereo sounds out of it. This Flesh thing looks like this idea taken to the next level. 

Well I decided to take the plunge and get the Komplete 10 boxed version, I need Kontakt 4 or greater for some sound libraries, and at the moment Kontakt 5 cost $200AUD less than Komplete 10 standard retail full version in Australia.
 
Komplete 11 can wait until an upgrade sale! that is if its worth the upgrade (Reaktor 6 and decent amount of woodwinds), I would not of even got this version if not needing Kontakt 5, I would of been much happier spending money on Omnisphere 2 or some nice hardware.
 
On a side note, NI must be making a killing, most places I tried had sold out, some even have it taken of their websites, leaving crossgrades/upgrades and ultimate available.  Or mabye they just clearing old stock for next version!
 

Have we heard anyone say,"I bought Komplete, what a waste of money"? Same for upgrading to Ultimate. Omnisphere too.

You've been warned.
