Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

This is still a little confusing for me. Kontakt itself is just a VSTi (or standalone) that runs sound library content. It comes with some factory Kontakt, but that's not specialized and isn't the best sounding sounds. Like Mario asked, are you looking for just Kontakt, or the associated libraries. For the libraries, that can run anywhere from free to hundreds of dollars per library. And then when you get the libraries from Native Instruments are now available only via download, unless you buy one of their Komplete packs on a hard drive (and they aren't cheap).

Still no clearer - you say PATCHES but you give two sound LIBRARY examples SO I will assume you MEAN sound Libraries for Kontatk - not PATCHES for use in said sound libraries.
For starters MarioD has given some very good ones but as he said there are many, many more.
and what is your wallet like big or small?
And before you dump your life savings into ONLY Kontakt libraries there is a whole universe of NON-Kontakt stuff, Spectrasonics Omnisphere, UVI's Falcon, and East-West are just three that come to mind (and on the less expensive side there is SampleTank 3, MiroSlav Philharmonik - still on sale I think, Rapture Pro, ... ) so spend wisely oh, padawan.

PS Have you even had time to go through the entire Kontakt Factory library set yet to see which and WHAT kinds of sound(s) you still need to supplement/add to or completely replace with 3rd party or other Native Instrument library's? NI itself has a couple grand's [$$$] worth of stuff to buy just to use IN Kontakt without ever leaving NI's site.

HI Here are some of the libraries I use. The lower one is part of the Requiem choral library This one allows you to assemble Latin words and phrases to be sung against a sequence of notes events. You may still be able to find a version by Tonehamer on the web. My composition Towards the light was done in Sona with over 20 instances of Kontakt and uses the Requiem library, (see my web site front page link below) Kontakt is awesome both the stand alone and the VST plugin DLL, and there are so many VSI libraries out there in NKI format [img:left] [/img] Have fun Mike

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
