Free Samplers with Libraries

Vitaliy_Kiselev

This is topic about samplers and free libraries for free samplers (ala Kontakt Player)
Plus one more thing - libraries must be, preferably, quite universal.

Ones that I know:

Independence Free 2.5 (about 2GB library contaning many instruments), company had been aquired by MAGIX
http://www.yellowtools.us/cp21/cms/index.php?id=842

SampleTank Free (about 500Mb library)
http://www.ikmultimedia.com/sampletankfree/features/

East West / Quantum Leap - Symphonic Orchestra Free Edition (about 1.7Gb)
Not available for download from producer anymore, but easy to find.

Sample Players
NI Kontakt Player- http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/producer/kontakt-5-player/ ,
Steinberg Halion - http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/vst/halion/halion_start.html,
Yellow Tools Engine - http://www.yellowtools.com/cp21/cms/index.php?id=842 (now part of MAGIX)
SampleTank - http://ikmultimedia.com/sampletankfree/features/
Liquid/Elastic ,

Note
NI Kontakt Player (their free version) allow to run only specially authorized libraries (who paid fees to NI) :-)
Otherwise it'll time out fast.

Kontakt 5 Player, plus 560Mb free samples library

You'll need this software for many commercial libraries anyway.
