We’ve all been there: you need a great, deep-sampled instrument for your next project but you can’t afford the money or the time to go searching for that elusive sample library. Let’s face it – buying an entire symphony orchestra’s worth of instruments is not always feasible, nor is it even necessary these days with VSTi libraries.
The good news is that we’ve got a great list of Free Kontakt Libraries & Instruments for your use and delectation, courtesy of some generous developers and producers around the world.
Free Kontakt libraries anyone? We got you covered!
No need to spend endless hours looking, I’ve found the best free Kontakt Libraries I could find online and you can find them here.
The job is far from over though. I’ll be updating the list as often as I find new free libraries for Kontakt. Make sure to bookmark this page and check back often for additions.
If you know of any solid free Kontakt Libraries, let me know in the comments below and I’ll add it to my list with a shout-out to you for finding them and letting me know, You’ll be famous! 🙂
The following libraries are still available for free download! Please note that we try to keep this list up-to-date, but it might happen that a link is broken or has been removed. Just leave us a comment and we’ll try to fix the problem ASAP. But take into account that these libraries were not free when originally published. The point is that they are still free now!
