Is it pretentious to call your latest product bundle "The Ultimate Experience"? Well, if you're Native Instruments it's not. Their new baby bundle KOMPLETE 8 Ultimate is outstanding and ultimate. I think this bundle is very interesting for every fresh computer musician as well as some pros. If you spend one grand, you'll have everything that you need for modern music production, sound design and also live performance. You'll get 50 tools in total with this bundle; synthesizers, strings & cinematic, creative & studio effects, drums & percussion, guitar & bass, pianos & keys...It's huge

The most important parts of this bundle are probably industry leading standard soft-sampler KONTAKT 5 and REAKTOR 5.6, powerful modular studio equipped with over 70 unique synths, grooveboxes, sequences... Kontakt comes with 43GB of sounds organized in eight different collections such as: Choir, Orchestral, Vintage, Urban Beats... and newest RETRO MACHINES MK2, round it to 1000 different instruments. As I mentioned, you'll also get full REAKTOR 5.6 with over 70 synths, sound generators and over 3000 instruments constructed by users accros the globe. That RETRO MACHINES MK2 synth is entirely based on 70s and 80s analog vintage sounds and keyboards. You'll find over 20 amazing instruments with separate effects sections.

Besides RM MK2, old well known synths are still here; If you're looking to make dynamic and precise sounds, tense basses and bristling leads, sci-fi soundscapes, look back at refreshing RAZOR, created by producer Errorsmith & NI. Then, you'll get 750 additional sounds with MASSIVE, heavyweight synth build on analog concept for heavy basses and piercing leads. There is more, ABSYNTH 5 comes with 400 extra sounds, this is semi modular synth for pads, grooves and soundsapes. And there is more, 200 aditional sounds included with FM8, razor-sharp digital sound synthesizer with bright, lively sound. Finally, bundle includes REAKTOR SPARK (dynamic, agressive synth) + REAKTOR PRISM  (uses modal synthesizes for polyphonic instrument).

There are 3 different strings in this bundle and first is SESSION STRINGS PRO, it's a new golden standard for contemporary strings. Then we have EVOLVE MUTATIONS, ready to use instrument for film scores, games, pop production and AND EVOLVE MUTATIONS 2, both great for TV, game and film production with 2+2 GB of original sounds and textures. I'll try to name all studio effects included in NI KOMPLETE 8 Ultimate bundle; SOLID EQ - basically two parametric EQs for sound smoothing, SOLID BUS COMP - legendary outboard compressor, SOLID DYNAMICS - stereo compressor with gate/expander based on classic 80s mix console, TRANSIENT MASTER - great tool for placing instruments in the mix. ALso, there are 3 extra compressors: VC 2A - tube compressor, VC 76 - legendary studio compressor and VC 160 - popular VCA compressor. Few more, THE FINGER - good for live performance and radios,  ability to trigger effects via MIDI keyboard, THE MOUTH - this one is designed to make melodies and harmonies out of whatever audio material you feed it, TRAKTOR'S 12 - We have TRAKTOR's tested effects, adapted for easy use within DAW and finally great reverb machine - REFLEKTOR.

To check what kind of Drums and Percussions, Guitar and Bass or Pianos and Keys are included, you'll have to visit official Native Instruments page, for full package you'll have to cound $1100, but you'll have Ultimate Collection, right?
