What exactly is included in Komplete 15 Standard?

JoshtheComposer

Hello,

I am a new composer (started 6 months ago) and this is my first time on the NI forum. I'm pricing the Standard version of Komplete 15, the lowest level that comes with the full version of Kontakt 8. I've seen things online that suggest that Komplete 15 Standard comes with a host of instruments including Sunburst Deluxe and Action Woodwinds. However, when I looked through the list of included libraries in the actual specs on NI's website, I did not see these libraries. Can someone confirm or deny that Sunburst Deluxe and Action Woodwinds come with Komplete 15? My main reason for buying Komplete 15 as opposed to just Kontakt would be for libraries of traditional instruments: strings, guitars, woodwinds, etc, that come with it.

Thank you.

P.S. What's the difference between Komplete General and Komplete Control?

Here you can find a complete (pun intended) list of everything included in the various Komplete bundles:

For the forum tags: I think Komplete general has been thought for discussions about everything related to Komplete world (programs, keyboards,…). Komplete Kontrol was more specific for the program? This is how I understood it.

Now that the keyboards are called only Kontrol, those tags could be revised

Thanks this answers my question pretty well. After comparing them I think I've decided not to buy Komplete at this point (for budget reasons) but I was wondering, if I buy Kontakt now will that count towards buying Komplete later since Komplete includes Kontakt full?

You’re welcome 👍🏼

No, the fact that you own one (or more) of the products included in the bundle will not affect the price in any way (only in few cases where some products give access to the Crossgrade path, but Kontakt isn’t one of them in regards to Komplete bundle)

Since we are close to Summer of Sounds sales (last year it started on May 18 and it gives a very good 50% off offer), what about using the free Kontakt player for one month and then take advantage of the big sale to buy everything at once?

When you can spare money, that’s always an excellent idea 😉
