This release brings an unprecedentedly rich lineup, including the new synth FORM and the addition of the affordable SELECT edition. KOMPLETE 11 and ULTIMATE include several new products, such as guitar, strings and drum instruments, supporting production in a wide variety of genres.

Selected Questions and Answers from Our YouTube Videos

Thank you for your help. I have a question: can I play add9 with the auto chord function? There were SUS2, SUS4, 7 and 9, though...


SUS2 corresponds to add9.


I always watch your videos! I have a question: will this work with KONTAKT 5 PLAYER (the free download)? Thank you in advance.


Thank you for watching our video. KONTAKT instruments, including Session Guitarist, work with the free KONTAKT 5 Player, but they don't work with older versions of KONTAKT 5 Player released before Session Guitarist came out. Please be sure to use the latest version. Also, the latest version supports Mac OS X 10.8 or later or Windows 7 or later, so the latest KONTAKT 5 Player may not be available on earlier OS versions; please be sure to check. The free KONTAKT 5 Player has functional limitations, and if you use a restricted function, it switches to a demo mode that runs for only 15 minutes. There is no problem doing the operations shown in the video, but there are restrictions, especially on editing the internal samples. http://www.native-instruments.com/jp/products/komplete/samplers/kontakt-5-player/kontakt-player-vs.-kontakt/


I have a question: does this Session Guitarist have arpeggio patterns for guitar playing? Also, can the tempo of the guitar playing be changed to faster or slower? I'd really like to know. Thank you.


Thank you for watching. Regarding your question, this product does not include arpeggio samples. As for tempo, it follows your DAW's tempo, so you can change it that way.
