Native Instruments Komplete 26 adds weird new synths and experimental piano sounds

Native Instruments has launched Komplete 26, adding 62 new products across its music-production bundle lineup.

The release spans entry-level Select bundles through Collector’s Edition, with major additions like Absynth 6, Kontakt 8, Guitar Rig 7 Pro, and new iZotope plugins.

New instruments and libraries include Claire, Claire: Avant, LCO Producer Strings, and Moments: Vocal Clouds, alongside updates to synth and piano tools.

The largest Collector’s Edition now reaches 1.6 TB, reflecting both the suite’s expansion and the growing cost and download burden.
