KONTAKT 6 FREE LIBRARIES UPGRADE
There are times when working like this can be a pain, so I do plan to upgrade to full Kontakt at some point - I'll probably bite the bullet and get Komplete when it goes on sale next. So I usually bounce all my work with such libraries to audio as I'm working with them, and also note which instruments/settings I used, in case I need to recall the patch. The one gotcha to be aware of when using full-Kontakt libraries with Kontakt Player, is that your settings for the library won't be recalled when you open your Reason project at a later time, because the 15-minute time limit will have expired. I always thought the "will not work with Kontakt Player" disclaimer was something that NI required of developers. As you say, except for the 15 minute limitation, there's no functional difference when using full-Kontakt libraries in Kontakt Player, and I've used many in my compositions.
KONTAKT 6 FREE LIBRARIES FULL VERSION
I too, only have Kontakt Player, and have accumulated quite a few libraries meant for the full version of Kontakt. While on this topic, anybody know of any other free libraries compatible with Kontakt Player? Seems very rare given the cost to do so. Am I the only one who didn't understand that these libraries would still work in Kontakt Player in demo mode? And for many of these, the point of them is to try them out, possibly looking to buy a full library it is based on or another library from the designer. I had completely skipped downloading them before because I thought they simply would not work! I can understand this remark being made in regards to paid libraries, because better safe than sorry with communication with customers, but free ones? Not once with all the free libraries I have encountered, that said they required the full version of Kontakt, did they say that they would still work in the Player version for 15 minutes at a time. 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).
