My first impression is that Absolute probably would have nicer and tighter integration into Cubase / Nuendo, so if I win some more or if the put it on sale I might get that as well.

When I listen to the demos of Komplete instruments that’s what strikes me. Not that they don’t have value, just that there’s a similarity of sound that I experience. And it makes complete sense just make the individual components and include them in different instruments and market those as ‘more different’ than they maybe are.

So if you have some sort of synth component in Pro 5 or the B3 organ, it really felt like it came from or was included in Reaktor.Īnd then that’s what it felt like as the collection grew. At least that’s what it sounded like to me. I thought about this at the very early stages of Komplete - I think I started with Komplete v2 - when I started seeing and/or hearing that the same distortion module was found in different instruments. The other gripe I have with many of these ‘collections’ is that they seem to use the same ‘modules’ that make up their instruments. I ended up not getting Absolute for various reasons, and I guess I have to make a call on Komplete before the end of today. I liked some of the older instruments and they’re now gone. The Vintage Kit sounds the best out of the stock ones. The paid expansions definitely sound better than the stock Acoustic Agent kits though. The content from Groove Agent 4 is also all different from Groove Agent SE 4, and overall I like the stock synth drum kits a lot better than the ones in Battery 4. Halion Sonic 2 and 3 also introduced more instruments besides those, which can be identified by their macro interface. While they’re not super realistic, they have a nice “plug and play” quality to them.

The sounds in Halion and Halion Sonic are almost all different from Halion Sonic SE, and are mostly higher quality versions of sounds from the Yamaha Motif XS.

Halion 6 is a lot more intuitive than Kontakt and is great for sound mangling, and both Halion 6 and the full version of Groove Agent 4 could be used to trigger edited versions of samples, all with their own insert effects.Īs for their sounds, Komplete has a nice selection of synths but I like Absolute’s acoustic instruments better.

Since you work in post I think that Absolute 3 would be far more interesting, depending on the job.
