People, this is an amazing deal- NI Komplete 5 for Euros/$ 399 during July, with
free shipping.
http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/producer/komplete-5/
Komplete 5 is a bundle containing the following software:
KONTAKT 3 - the industry-standard sampler with a 33 GB library
GUITAR RIG 3 Software Edition - the ultimate guitar and bass studio
MASSIVE - the formidable sound monster for fat basses
REAKTOR 5 - the extremely versatile, modular instrument studio
ABSYNTH 4 - the legendary synthesizer for vivid soundscapes
BATTERY 3 - the dedicated drum sampler providing premium drum kits
AKOUSTIK PIANO - three famous grands and one upright
ELEKTRIK PIANO - the sounds of four renowned electric pianos
B4 II - perfectly recreates the sound of the legendary B3
FM8 - FM synth for crystal-clear, airy, and razor-sharp digital sounds
PRO-53 - the faithful reproduction of a synth legend.
Not all components are 'Best of class', but some are very good.
Akoustik Piano is a let-down and Kontakt is certainly not my favourite sampler
(Yellow Tools Independence Pro is), but it has become the industry standard,
with many VI's using the Kontakt Player engine (which means you can use the full
Kontakt version to make changes, which is not possible in the Player).
