Native Instruments has widened the scope of its ongoing Big Partner Sale, with Klangmacht and Wave Alchemy bringing fresh instruments and expansions into the mix. Running through September, the sale cuts prices on drum libraries, hybrid bass engines, and full Kontakt expansions, giving producers an opportunity to add new tools to their setups at a fraction of the normal cost.
Klangmacht leads with a suite of drum libraries recorded by Bastian Emig, including Melodic Deathmetal Drums and a large bundle of four full kits in Klangmacht Drums 2025. Each library captures the power of Emig’s Tama Starclassic Bubinga kit and Meinl Byzance cymbals, packaged for heavy genres where precision and aggression are key. The pricing reflects a major discount across each release.
Wave Alchemy adds a different angle with Bassynth, a hybrid engine built for layered bass design, and the Leap Expansion Bundle. The latter is a ten-pack expansion set for Kontakt 8’s Leap platform, blending organic grooves from guitars, bass, and live drums with synth textures and sounds drawn from modern rap and pop production. These releases focus on workflow and flexibility, pairing well with existing Kontakt libraries already in heavy use by many producers.

Metal Drum Libraries and Hybrid Bass Engines
For producers in heavier styles, the new drum packs stand out. The Tama Starclassic Bubinga sessions translate into a tight, aggressive foundation that can be pushed into mixes without additional layering. Melodic Deathmetal Drums focuses on speed and control, designed for double-kick precision. Klangmacht Drums 2025 broadens the palette with four dark, pre-arranged custom kits that extend usability across subgenres. Each of these comes prepared for direct integration into popular DAWs and samplers.
Bassynth adds low-end design to the lineup. Built for modern bass production, it gives producers control over synthesis layers and processed samples, making it adaptable across electronic, hip hop, and experimental work. The engine allows for sound shaping without relying on multiple third-party plugins, which is valuable in time-sensitive production environments.
Expanded Expansions: Leap Bundle and Strings Tools
The Leap Expansion Bundle introduces organic textures into Kontakt 8 sessions. By drawing on live-recorded grooves from traditional instruments, it bridges acoustic and electronic sources. The pack’s ten expansions cover guitars, drums, bass, and vintage synths, making it suitable for hybrid genres where acoustic timbres sit beside programmed material. This bundle provides depth for producers who want more flexibility inside Kontakt.
Alongside Klangmacht and Wave Alchemy, Native Instruments has also highlighted partner deals on chamber-string libraries, historical instruments, and field recordings. These collections target composers and producers who need detail and realism in orchestral or ambient scoring. Partners like e-instruments, Audio Imperia, Wavelet Audio, and Sonixinema are all represented, reinforcing the sale’s scope across multiple categories.
The expanded sale underscores how plugin bundles and libraries remain essential to modern workflows. From heavy drums to hybrid bass design and orchestral scoring, the new additions cover a wide spectrum of use cases. Producers looking to add depth to their library have until the end of September to take advantage of the discounted pricing.
