Berlin, August 1, 2016 – Native Instruments today announced the 11th generation of its industry-leading KOMPLETE collections. These latest releases add new products to KOMPLETE and KOMPLETE ULTIMATE, and introduce a new member of the portfolio: KOMPLETE 11 SELECT. KOMPLETE 11 incorporates seven new instruments, including the highly innovative and brand-new synthesizer FORM, UNA CORDA, and REAKTOR 6 with the acclaimed REAKTOR Blocks. KOMPLETE 11 ULTIMATE adds 13 new products, such as the all-new orchestral instruments SYMPHONY ESSENTIALS and FLESH, as well as all the new additions in KOMPLETE 11.

KOMPLETE 11 and KOMPLETE 11 ULTIMATE deliver new instruments that significantly expand the sonic palette for producers, composers, performers and sound designers.

It seems there's no mention of any updates/improvements to their previously released synths, sonically or visually. At a minimum, NI needs to update their GUIs for proper hi-res rescaling (a la Sylenth, Serum, etc.) so it stays on par with current display resolutions. Also disappointed that Massive has yet to receive a much needed sonic/GUI makeover that it could greatly benefit from. I digress. Cheers.
