I'm trying to find out find out which hardware, be it an audio interface, a midi keyboard, a synthesizer or whatever comes with the most expensive software bundle compared to its price.
What I know so far is that the offerings from the Focusrite interfaces, the Korg midi keyboards and the NI keyboards come with pretty expensive software included.
Do you know of others?

Dont they all come with OEM/Lite versions that you cant actually buy on their own?

Only partially. Like 20% of the software included with the aforementioned brands is OEM.
Focusrite interfaces come with a lot of premium products which can be bought separately with a lof of money (by those who don't know our KVR Marketplace). Korg and NI as well but with a bit lesser value.

Korg Im not convinced by, TBH, having bought one very recently. Digital Synsations Vol 1 is the only thing I see that's a full version, and although its got an RRP, its consistently been a freebie for all sorts of stuff for the past decade, feels like its kinda hard not to already have.

Focusrite does have a bit more than I remember though.

It's been quite a few years since I've bought anything new from Novation, but I recall them always including a pretty good number of software items (e.g., "lite" versions of DAWs, soft synths and effects). I'm sure the webpages for some of their controllers and synths will list the bundled items.

ProTools. It used to be very expensive and came with a dongle in the form of a propriety audio interface.
