Added 2 links to glitchy instruments by Sonic Cinema.
And thanks for the links George. (I didn’t add them to the list since these samples aren’t in Kontakt format)

There’s a few freebies that work in Kontakt at http://www.store.precisionsoun.....ndinfo.php
There’s one called Koestler Rigoletto that is pretty amazing.

Added Djembe Drum & FHP Shadow Group Light from the FlyingHand Percussion library, and some free instruments from SoniVox MI’s Anatomy library.
Thanks for the link Petter. I couldn’t find any Kontakt instruments at Precisionsound, but the free soundfonts can be used in Kontakt as well.

Added BOLDER Sounds Button Accordion and fixed all the BOLDER Sounds links since they have a new website.

Thanks Javaj for the suggestion, I will add it.
Philipp, I check the first two links and fixed the one for Autodafe, but the Kingston drums doesn’t 404 for me…

Insane man! I’m always looking for new sounds of course lol.
I have to check out a few on this list that I didn’t have already.

Added a bunch of new links, and updated the Soniccouture one since they launched a new website and replaced the previous freebies with some new ones.

I’ve got a new Kontakt Blog up ~ http://www.brendanjhogan.com/blog
The response so far has been great. I discuss the potentials of sampling and release original instruments every week.

Hi,
you forgot free soundbanks from Soni Musicae : the 2 best free harpsichords available, probably the best free diatonic accordion, and a little house organ (not the best, I admit)… And my own grandfather’s clock !
Here it is :
