OK. Just out of interest, who are some of your inspirations in that are of music?

For unique and experimental stuff check out Pianobook.co.uk it's a community based project with thousands of kontakt/decent sampler instruments all for free.

 

excellent reply. Add Chris Hein in there for strings and other orchestral. Teletone for synth and drums. Other than that, pretty comprehensive.

 

Useless reply. Refrain from replying at all on forum in future.

 

If you want to experiment, why not start with building/sampling your own lib?
Using readily available libs does not feel very „avant-garde“ to me.
Or just start with some random lib and see where it goes…

 

There’s thousands of libraries but it doesn’t hurt to start with the native instruments first party libraries, they have enough variety to keep you going for a while and you don’t need all the big symphonic ones when similar options might be hiding in libraries with more instruments

I’d also recommend the soniccouture libraries too, they were the first other brand I heard about and they have a bunch of great stuff from percussive to avant-garde and they don’t get too big

Then get the lite converter and shrink your libraries with their guide and you won’t need a bigger ssd if you get get everything down to fit in smaller capacities, save on your 4 terabytes and get 2 instead

And then what?

 

hi. i'm using these, i'm using kontakt for 10+ years, i only keep the best ones(for me at least)

 

Soundiron Flatulus is all you need for radio-ready industry-standard billboard-leading chart-toppers

 

holy shit

 

If experimental and avantgarde sounds in Kontakt is of interest, try these developers too.

Rhythmic Robot (The Laboratory series)
SzcZ
Hollow Sun (Alien devices, Music laborartory machines)
Homegrown Sounds

they are older and don*t require insane amounts of disk space, but I found them to be quite unique in what they have to offer.
