If you’ve been keeping an eye on the Native Instruments blog, you’ve probably spotted our regular round-ups of REAKTOR freebies from our User Library. If not, here are some generative sequencers, sci-fi sounds, and techno tools to get you started. Today, we’re switching things up with the first in a new series of similarly cost-effective recommendations for KONTAKT.

To kick things off, we’ve trawled the web to bring you a series of highly-specific percussion libraries, from sonic studies of household objects to multi-mic’d snares and a bonus instrument that features a dedicated knob for “annoyingness” – if you do find a use for that last one, of course, we want to hear it.

Read on for our take on each library, audio clips, and download links. Just bear in mind that you’ll need the full version of KONTAKT to use these.
