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.

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.
thanks dude!

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 :
