This is one developer I avoid like the plague. Their offerings are the very definition of bloatware.

I agree with Doug. I've downloaded a few of their premium libraries that were given away and they were all far, far below average quality KONTAKT sample libraries. I recall very large file size sample libraries and finding, for example, a huge file size piano sample library had one or two velocity layers -- and it sounded like a free sound font library from the 90s.  Some posters have stated that this developer has a history of using other developers' samples and has used several different names in the past. I don't know if any of that's true, but I do know that I found their sample libraries to be  unnecessarily bloated, not up to the level I'd expect for a KONTAKT library, to the point it felt like trickery to confuse users that these are detailed sample libraries and they aren't. I would strongly recommend avoiding Muze. They are not a quality developer.

Better go here and start the download party:

 

Well, those are only freebies. But the pianos I recommend on that list are all far better than anything I've tried from Muse. For anyone tempted by this Muse deal who's on a tight budget,  wait for the next SampleTekk sale and you'll get vastly superior piano sample libraries for cheap.

Plus Spitfire Labs for inspiration. 

Yep. There's so many free sample libraries that are good quality.  I've contemplated doing a KONTAKT freebie list, but it's a lot of work to compile and keep a list like that updated and the fact that there aren't sticky posts here makes it of questionable value (it disappears in a week). My objective with the list I made was to be helpful for people on a very tight budget who can't afford KONTAKT.  But personally,  KONTAKT is my go-to sampler. I rarely have a project that doesn't use KONTAKT.

If you just compile a list with your top ten, this will be very helpful and a reasonable amount of time. Just saying ... :)

Hey, if you think it will be helpful to you and possibly others, I'll start coming up with a list. Like the other one, I'll invite everyone else to give their takes and make their own lists of recommended freebies.

@ralfrobert Inspired by your request (I've had a number of people asking for me to create a KONTAKT freebie thread like the other one, but your request inspired me to finally do it) I created a thread of my top favorite / recommended free KONTAKT libraries.
