Want to download free Kontakt sounds ?
You're at the right place !

UPDATED November 2013

Hi there !

Today I make a small post about free Kontakt sounds. Why ? Because I am a big fan of Kontakt. In my (humble) opinion it is far the best sampler you can find for a professional use in music production.

It's been a long time since I started to collect free Kontakt sounds. Today, I submit you my list in case of need. The sample libraries listed hereafter are suitable for Kontakt 2,3 & 4. I haven't tested them with all versions but they should work normally. If you don't own Kontakt yourself, you can donwload Digidesign Structure Free for use in ProTools and you'll be able to open the following Kontakt drum samples & Kontakt libraries. I don't know much more about other sampler instruments, for I almost only use everyday these two, but you should be able to do the same with Halion3 and Mach5.

If you don't know Kontakt yet, you should consider downloading the free version called Kontakt Player to see if this sampler instruments could fit your needs. It is provided with a nice free Kontakt library with free instruments from his big brother library (Elektrik Piano, Akoustik Piano & a bunch of sampled instruments), so then you can start to play with it. Of course this version is very limited, mostly because you can't edit the sounds like you would but also because you can't import other sample banks except the ones created or validated by Native Instruments (I know life is not fair...)

However, you'll see Kontakt or Kontakt Player are very easy to use & intuitive, so even if you don't know much about sampling, just a little knowledge about MIDI & software instruments is enough to begin to have fun & to know if you want to spend a few hundred bucks to seriously work with it or not.

I think Kontakt definitely worth it, because it is robust (I mean it's not buggy & believe me, I extensively use it), it is very usable & expandable (look where you are, you can find free Kontakt sounds all over the internet) and best of all it is loaded with a huge 43 GB samples library that covers almost every instruments or standard needs in music creation (from orchestra instruments to crappy synth leads via acoustic guitar etc...).
