komplete 6

[mickomoo]

Anyone work with it? What's your opinion on it? I'm still a beginner and I prefer working with premade vstis, ones that sound like specific instruments. but I'm not really able to tell which packs include what.

Uh, what's the question, really? With the exception of Reaktor and Guitar Rig, they're all ordinary instruments - two samplers and three synths.

And why are you talking about 6 when 7 is available?

I suppose I'm asking which ones were samplers and which ones were synths. Sorry about that. Thanks

Okay, here's what's in Komplete 6 (also in 7, plus a lot more there):

Reaktor - modular environment for building synths and effects. Fairly advanced stuff. I like it.

Guitar Rig - amp simulator, not an instrument.

Kontakt - sampler, comes with a lot of decent instruments including world, orchestra, synth, and band.

FM8 - fm synth, based on the classic DX7.

Massive - synth designed for leads and basses.

Absynth - versatile synth with a lot of different functions.

Battery - drum sampler, comes with a library of drum sounds, some synth, some acoustic.

You should check out the demo tracks and the freebies on NI's website.

My father's giving me usage of his komplete 6. I was personally trying to decide which packs to install... for some reason I'm not really comfortable using synths, but I mean it shouldn't matter, I'm just gonna install the entire thing.

You can zap through the thousands of presets and never touch what makes it tick, so "comfortable" doesn't even come into play - as long as you know how to pick an item from a list you're OK, and you can even look up "traditional" sounding sounds by using the Kore browser.
