You will do FAR better to buy HandHeld Sound's Flying Hand Percussion the next time it is on sale - though it requires a full Kontakt license if you don't have Kontakt yet. I used fxpansion's percussion lib for BFD for many years as it is mostly recorded well and for the most part picked good instrument sources, but it's an old library and very limited regarding articulations - as is everything from native Instruments in that regard. Tip: do a search function on the web page (ctrl+F on PC) and type in the word “Kontakt”.FYI regarding latin percussion, as I am in the midst of re-tracking ALL of mine at the moment (and will still replace with my own (or others') live playing down the road at some point, where convenient). Since Kontakt Player is free, it will have slightly limited functionality and content compared to the full version, but many users make do just fine with the free version, especially if you aren’t heavy into composing for an orchestra full time.ĪLWAYS remember to check for compatibility when purchasing a new library, as it can sometimes be hard to find in all the fine print.
It can be confusing, because essentially, all versions of Kontakt are “players” of sample content. The biggest thing to remember: anytime you see mention of Kontakt Player, this simply refers to the free version. It will be a mandatory upgrade, just not yet. Many of us are able to get by just fine by still using Kontakt 5, however that will not always be the case, as developers take advantage of the new features and begin to release libraries that are only compatible with Kontakt 6.
Kontakt 6 – This is the newest version of the Kontakt sampler, and it’s the latest and greatest, yet it’s benefits and features are yet to be fully taken advantage of, simply because it’s still so new on the market.
