Komplete 12 Ultimate Collector’s makes no sense to me, but I’m happy to be proven wrong.īTW: this ignores the subset of Komplete 12 Select you get with the Komplete Kontrol A series midi-controllers.Komplete 12 Ultimate is what you’d like to get but can’t justify unless you have plenty of funds / talent or the chance to make some money from your work.Komplete 12 Standard a good set of tools / sounds / synths for a lot of projects, lacking in some areas but there’s enough for an amateur (as in unpaid not anything bad) to get a lot of use from, especially coupled with your DAW / other VSTs (AUs).Komplete 12 Select has some decent elements to suit my tastes / needs, but I would save up for….Komplete 12 Mikro is enough to make Maschine work, has some strengths but you will want to upgrade.I’ve studied the bundle comparison a few times and added my own concept to reflect the software include with the Maschine Mikro. It’s a set of tools, a large part of which may be Komplete, but not all. Korg M1 or Wavestation VST/AU are a good fit for synthwave, Dexed is a great freeware synth and there are many more. Don’t forget other options you can mix in other items not just in your DAW.Don’t forget your DAW you don’t have to only use Komplete to make music! I’m on the Garageband/ Mainstage/ Logic Pro X journey, and that gives plenty of sounds, some synths (including Alchemy) and samplers and effects.Standard Edition might be enough: it’s not perfect, there’s a lot not included, but it might be most of what you need (and can justify!).Buy in stages: Native Instruments don’t penalise you for buying a bundle then buying the upgrade later.Look out for sales: November for Black Friday, Christmas and summer are great times for bargains, though as Komplete 12 is quite new, the 2018 Thanksgiving sale had no bundle discounts.Buy the bundles: the discounting is magnificent (>80% quoted) even if you don’t want it all.There’s an enormous amount of content in the full Komplete 12 suite, and you won’t want or use a lot of it. I’m just a beginner, so anything wrong let me know in the comments and I’ll fix it! Buying Komplete 12 On one level it’s straightforward: buy what you can afford. I think I’ve figured it out, and factored in my interests in synthwave / Hawkwind and prog rock. I’ve been trying to get my head behind the Native Instruments Komplete 12and its various bundles.
