KOMPLETE 15 Standard Upgrade from KOMPLETE Select
Price history
About this plugin
For producers already committed to Native Instruments' ecosystem, the upgrade to KOMPLETE 15 Standard represents a substantial expansion of creative tools without the investment required for the flagship ULTIMATE tier. This package adds approximately 45 GB of additional content to your existing KOMPLETE Select foundation, delivering access to Kontakt 7 with its full instrument library, a comprehensive effects suite including Komplete Reverb and Replika, and the mastering-grade metering tools found in Visu.
The sonic character of KOMPLETE 15 Standard skews toward versatility rather than esoteric sound design. You're gaining professional-grade convolution reverbs, transparent compression and EQ algorithms, and modulation effects that prioritize clarity and musicality. The included instruments span orchestral libraries, vintage keyboards, and synthesizers that integrate seamlessly with Kontakt's powerful sampler architecture.

This upgrade targets mid-level producers and engineers who've determined that KOMPLETE Select's foundational toolkit requires expansion but haven't justified the ULTIMATE package's additional cost. It's particularly valuable for composers working in film and television, where Kontakt's orchestral libraries and the reverb collection address specific professional requirements.
Within Native Instruments' own hierarchy, KOMPLETE 15 Standard occupies a practical middle ground - substantial enough to function as a complete DAW complement for most production contexts, yet modest enough to preserve budget for third-party specialists. The plugin ecosystem here remains solid rather than bleeding-edge, making it a consolidation move rather than a revolutionary upgrade.
