Next to the KOMPLETE 6 package we posted earlier today, Native Instruments releases new updated versions of ABSYNTH and KONTAKT.

ABSYNTH 5 is an exceptional synthesizer with unique sonic potential. Its speciality is a limitless spectrum of unusual, evolving sounds created using the powerful, hybrid synthesis architecture and sophisticated modulation and effect system – resulting in sounds far removed from the everyday.

With version 4, KONTAKT enhances its position as the professional’s sampler of choice. Building on the outstanding features of the previous versions, including the unrivaled audio engine and state-of-the-art semi-modular architecture, KONTAKT 4 delivers new sonic horizons for your music.

Allthough it is still not official we saw that several webshops already are advertising this NI News. One of the new NI products will be KOMPLETE 6. The NATIVE INSTRUMENTS KOMPLETE 6 includes Kontakt 4, Absynth 5, Guitar Rig Pro, Reaktor 5, Massive, FM8 and Battery 3. The NATIVE INSTRUMENTS KOMPLETE 6 is the latest version of the high-end collection, featuring synthesizers, samplers, vintage keyboards, virtual guitar, sound effects and more.
