chris.r Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I only have Kontakt 6 full, so I'm using Player for libraries that require 7. I see that full Kontakt 7 is at 7.7.3, question for those who use Player version, what is the latest Player, same as full? Cause I see only 7.6.1 here in my NA.

Anxiousmofo Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Solid purchase on this Lores Fables bundle. Amazed to see a worthwhile coupon from NI. Cheers to that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptheisen Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Yes, I applaud NI for this unusually worthwhile voucher. Most of them in the past could not be applied to upgrades, but this one can. It enabled me to upgrade from the Stradivarius Violin (which I had as part of Komplete 14U) to the full Cremona quartet for US $49.50. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone, who is using Kontakt Player, confirm that 7.6.1 is the latest version? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Native Asshat. Had this problem with Omnia. Even the ISO download links they sent failed during download. Had to install a better download manager (Chrome extension) that would re-connect the download fragment / queue, as it would not resume once connection failed. Took 2 days. But eventually worked.

I finally got it yesterday with the google link. Others had the same issue a year ago but did they fix their own way of distribution. The other thing they should do is instead of a 70gb zip break it up into 7 spanned archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeGBradford Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 Thanks @BTP That cinched it for me! £57 for Kontakt and a few Massive presets I may never use! @PavlovsCat thanks for persuading me 🙂 Downloading now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 Now all I have to do is choose the two free Play libraries - had a listen the other day and none of them grabbed me. I already have Hybrid Keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) @JoeGBradford I quickly came up with some of my favorite freebies for KONTAKT full version: 8Dio 1928 Steinway Grand and a number of other high quality libraries for KONTAKT for free https://8dio.com/collections/free-instruments Lofi Wurli There's a bit of noise if you hold the samples, but otherwise, this is really nice for a free Wurl library. https://drive.google.com/file/d/15U99DL5BJdPAwj3SDOYvI2EPJ1_eaL8K/edit Red Pack Drums - acoustic drum kit https://www.redpackdrums.com/product-page/the-official-ds-drum-library Prepatato Piano Free An awesome free version of a prepared piano library. It's good enough to have charged for. Grab all of this dev's freebies. https://www.xperimentaproject.com/preparato-piano-free/ Death Piano LE Another free version of a prepared piano library that I like a lot. https://www.productionvoices.com/free/ Analogue Drums Big Mono Kit https://www.analoguedrums.com/drumkits/big-mono/ Pocket Blakus - Free Cello Look around the VST Buzz site for freebies for KONTAKT, there are some nice ones there. There's a glockenspiel, I believe named Jonathan's Glockenspiel that's quite nice. Check out the Ivy Audio piano and other libraries. https://vstbuzz.com/freebies/pocketblakus-cello/ Performance Samples Cello, Violin -- grab all of their freebies https://www.performancesamples.com/pacific-solocellolegato/ Westwood Alt Piano -- an upright felt piano https://www.westwoodinstruments.com/alt-piano-lite-edition/ Musical Sampling Legato Trumpet This is a really nice free legato trumpet library. https://musicalsampling.com/trumpet-freebie/ Sonuscore Free Pipe Organ This is a free KONTAKT Player library, but just in case you don't have it, get it! https://www.sonuscore.com/shop/free-pipe-organ/ Keypleezer Upright Piano A character piano, slightly out of tune, but cool. https://keypleezer.com/free-upright-piano-for-kontakt/ Sinewave Lab Free Mellotron Library I'm in love with pianos, Wurlis, glockenspiels, celestes, drums, guitars, basses, cellos, Wurlis -- and Trons. https://sinewavelab.com/products/free-mellotron-library-for-kontakt/ SoundIron has some freebies that are fun, especially, believe it or not, the free Desk Bell library. Pianobook See my list for recommendations, because a lot of stuff is poor quality. You can use my list to find the best libraries there, and you can also look for high-rated instruments at the site, of course. The Quarantine and Isolation pianos are two that immediately come to mind as some of the best there. Pick up everything from Dan Keen (he does mainly string and piano libraries, and they're very, very good). https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/65790-best-free-sample-libraries-for-kontakt-a-curated-list-of-recommended-libraries/ Edited December 30, 2023 by PavlovsCat 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 @PavlovsCat thanks so much Peter - very kind of you! Native have sent links to some free Sonuscore orchestral instruments - wondering if they are worth installing. I think they may be getting on a bit now. I have Miroslav Philharmonik (also very old!), Garritan PO, BBC SO Core and now, of course, the Orchestral Tools instruments in the Kontakt Factory library so not sure I need those as well though the free Kontakt library GAS is going to be in full flow over the next few days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
