Here's an unusual one---a Kontakt Player demo library, showcasing nine of the developers libraries. There's a video on the webpage that explains the differences between the demo and the full versions. Even with some limited features, it's a robust engine from a well-reviewed developer.
I am a big fan of Splashsound's EPIC PERCUSSION series. This is the type of sounds you can just enjoy playing from your keyboard. If you watch for them you can find some deep discounts. Start with the free stuff and then work your way up. That's what I did.
As for Free Kontakt Player libraries, ProjectSAM just offered The Free Orchestra 2. Just one instrument at the moment with another instrument to be added each new month: https://projectsam.com/libraries/the-free-orchestra-2
While you're there, the original The Free Orchestra is still available.
Enjoy the Labor Day holiday, all you hard-workers!
@JohnJohnJohn: Well, since you asked: Yes, it is a Kontakt library but what kind? You can view all Kontakt libraries as one of two types: A registered/serialed/Player library or an "open"/unencoded/Full/Retail Kontakt library?
It is definitely is not a free Kontakt library for the free Kontakt Player---the developer states so on the website and I can personally vouch that neither it or the paid version are Kontakt Player libraries. It is a free open/unencoded Kontakt library for the full/paid ("Retail") version of Kontakt. If you don't own the full/paid version of Kontakt, this is a big (up to $300) difference. It either won't run or it will only run for 15 minutes in "Demo Mode" in the free Kontakt Player.
I was posting libraries in this thread for the free Kontakt Player for those who may not have purchased Kontakt (either separately or with an including version of Komplete) so that they could also take advantage of using a Kontakt library without having to purchase the full version of Kontakt and just run it in the free Kontakt Player. I was posting libraries like the one you referenced in another thread for those who own the full/paid version of Kontakt and who can also take advantage of free third-party "open" libraries. Put another way, in this thread I wanted to post only Kontakt libraries that anybody could use for free with the free Kontakt Player.

I did not see the other post you are referring to. In the past, before I purchased Kontakt, I used some of these types of free libraries in the 15 demo mode quite successfully. But, I guess I should hurry and delete my post so there is no risk that someone might get something for free that they can't use!
@JohnJohnJohn: No worries. Since you have Kontakt Retail/Full, you might want to check out the other thread. It's amazing what some developers provide.
If you already downloaded The Free Orchestra 2 from ProjectSAM, a Bold Legato Brass update/addition is waiting for you in your Updates page of Native Access. If not:
It appears that recent library updates from Native Instruments are making the libraries compatible with NKS2 but incompatible with Kontakt6, even if they previously were. Now it's really necessary to always read the "Changes" tab before you click on "Update". You can also always make a "K6" copy of your Instruments folder before you update a library.
