    I use the full version of Kontakt 7 - there are so many great 3rd party libraries available in the nki format but a lot of them don't work in the free 'player' version. At the current sale price I'd say it's worth it - but look around at the available content to see if it floats your boat - here are some of my favourite library creators -

    https://rigid-audio.com/
    https://heavyocity.com/

    And Plugin Boutique have a range often at very good prices -

    Thanks enkaytee.

    When you purchase Kontakt 7 they include some downloadable factory library content that sounds good.

    I've used Konstantin (I meant Kontakt but Apple preferred Konstantin) for decades. The good thing about it is, if you want an instrument, or sound library, of good quality, chances are it's available for Konstantin. Not that there aren't other options, but it sure makes life easy in that regard. Pretty annoying when you want a format that isn't available.

    Another great source of Kontakt libraries is Pianobook - https://www.pianobook.co.uk/sampler/kontakt/

    I’ve been checking out 8dio’s libraries that were very heavily discounted these past few weeks

    Different perspective: Kontact has been in and out of my cart for years. Now that modeling (SWAM, Pianoteq) is available, most of the sampled instruments have been removed from my hard drive, freeing up space!

    Agreed, samples take up too much room and unless you need an exact instrument, synthesis is the way to go.

    There aren't many options for replacing Kontakt as it's the de-facto standard in sample world and there are lots of great sound libraries out there for it.
    Feature wise, it's got a bit outdated though.
    If you do your own sound design, UVI Falcon and Steinberg HALion 7 are worth a look imo.

    Yes, modelling is getting better but there's too much cool stuff out there that hasn't been modelled yet.

    Make sure you consult other forums before buying anything from them. Their product palette seems to be quite a mixed bag quality-wise, at least that was the case a few years ago.
    I'd rather buy one good expensive sound library than ten discounted ones that I wouldn't end up using.
    Another tip: Never look at the size of a library. More gigabytes doesn't necessarily mean better.

    I have almost bought Kontakt so many times. It is the 3rd party libraries that have help me back. Just so many of them that I am worried that I will go into my usual compulsive collector mode and drop $1000s on them…

    However, I still really wanted to build up some sampled libraries so I went with Soundpaint (8dio developers) and Mntra instead. They are the cooler kids on the block. I picked up a few nice libraries for Kontakt
    Player over time when they go on sale as well.

    I think Soundpaint is underrated - the engine is pretty powerful and the base libraries are very well put together and are mostly quite affordable. Once you start messing with the inbuilt effects and mixing up to 8 parts from different libraries it can start to really get creative. Oh, and the engine and a number of the libraries are free...👍

    I'm a Kontakt user from the start
    v7 is a disaster! nothing good about it.
    v6 was the last good version...

    the loading times even of their own libraries and presets are driving me nuts sometimes, not funny anymore .. might be my own system to a point but it's extreme, and yeah, it's gotten worse
