The Musikmesse has opened in Frankfurt, and Native Instruments has announced several new products, including the Guitar Rig, Elektrik Piano, an organ controller, and several new software bundles.

The Guitar Rig combines a foot controller and groundbreaking software with amp, speaker, microphone, and effect emulations. The newly developed advanced analog modelling technologies guarantee a unique and incomparable sound quality.

Elektrik Piano combines four legendary e-pianos in one instrument. The software instrument reproduces the sounds of the MK I und MK II, E7, and A 200. This software e-piano is based on the Kontakt sample engine.

NI Komplete 2 delivers 11 NI instruments in one package. It has instrument emulations, samplers, and effects on two DVDs that provide you with every imaginable instrument and sound. Various update packages make NI Komplete 2 not only interesting for new customers, but also for those existing NI customers who want to make their instrument collection “Komplete”.
