#Kontakt 6 player free eastern libraries full version#

Looking at that page should make folks especially thankful to designers who do make libraries compatible with Kontakt Player, not to mention the free ones listed above!īut the point of my post here is because I discovered that the FREE libraries I have wanted to try that explain, 'REQUIRES FULL VERSION OF KONTAKT! WILL NOT WORK WITH KONTAKT PLAYER!' Actually do work, but they are only limited in time (15 minutes per session). s/pricing/ They have to pay a pretty penny it seems. However, it comes down to licensing with NI and whether the library creators are willing to pay to have the libraries fully compatible with Kontakt Player (not requiring the user to have the full version).

I always figured the full version was simply for those who want to create libraries and the Player version for those who simply want to use them. It wasn't clear to me before why some libraries were 'not compatible' with Kontakt Player (thanks to Enochlight for pointing this out).

And both of these free libraries also come with serials to officially add them to Kontakt Player. There are some free libraries out there, aside from the ones NI offers, that are fully compatible with Kontakt Player, such as Sennheiser's DrumMic'a (thanks to esselfortium for pointing this one out) and Embertone's Arcane (some great sounds in this one, including a nice solo vocal and fun game). I have however bought a few libraries compatible with Kontakt Player, such as Sonuscore's The Orchestra and NI's Thrill. So I still don't have the full version of Kontakt and haven't found a reason to buy it ($399 full price).
