Well it ain't free but for $5 hard to pass on. Palette – Primary Colors requires the full version of Kontakt 5.6.8 or above. Which I happen to have. But I may have mentioned I spent my budget and only pick up stuff with is free until 2020. But I could make a slight exception if someone could give this product an endorsement.

I'm in the same boat. But the demos sounded so good I just blew my last $5! Thankfully the other 4 were free. All DLed but probably will not be installed for a few days.

The $5 is only a suggestion. You can change it to 0 and download and enjoy! I did BUT it required another download of a file manager called Pulse and I declined to run that unknown possible adware/malware laden manager.
Don't let that stop you. More than a few of us have downloaded and installed it. No one dead yet, at least none have reported dead, LOL
I've scanned with multiple AV and malware tools and even used a net tool to watch its connections and and monitor its download of the said "free" lib.
It's no more obnoxious/dangerous than Native Access for NI, eLicenser Control for Steinberg, ToonTrack Product Manager for the "eZ this and that" line of stuff, Sonokenetic Manager, that much hated, BY ME, stupid Command Center for Sonar, and dozens of others.
As a matter of fact after you've used "Pulse' to downloaded and install the Palette Primary Colors folder lib (~1.24 GB), suggest same place you put/install other Kontakt libs so that Kontakt can find it. Then just make a few copies of that folder (safety copies) zip/RAR it up, keep copies in multiple locations with some being off the PC altogether - then you can uninstall Pulse, it is not needed again, unless you buy other stuff from Red room Audio.

Good info Larry, like you I tend to do multiple scans of software, what tool do you use to do the above?
Windows 10 (64bit) M-Audio Fast Track Pro, Band in a Box 2025, Cubase 14, Cakewalk and far too many VST plugins that I probably don't need or will ever use
Just chiming in here about AV scanning. I often use the site virustotal.com, which aggregates many popular scanning engines in one place. The only downside is that if the file is large, you have to use an FTP client such as Cyberduck (which is free) to upload files over a certain size. It's used by many large security sites such as the Infosec Institute as part of their standard toolset when analyzing software for malware detection signatures.
One word of warning - you may get a false positive in some cases, which happened to me with Winlive Synth Driver, but it was due to the Artificial Intelligence logic in one of the engines which tries to guess at undetected malware, and after contacting my AV vendor, they got confirmed it was clean and they updated their definitions accordingly.

Trend Micro Internet Security did not trigger any warnings for me. I have installed all of them and tested them in Kontakt 6. All work fine.
Also, on one of the pages (the Fluffy Audio page, where you get Aurorror), there are three additional free instruments you can download. The Simple Flute sounded pretty decent.

I wouldn't think they would suggest sites that are dodgy ?
My thoughts exactly.
Agreed. However sometimes a site will not be buggy when suggested but became infected after. Experience talking here as my wife and kid got infected from sites they have used many many times with no problems.

What only one instrument - violin! and one articulation - sustain! This is a small teaser indeed. It sounds pretty nice but you don't get to hear much with the free version. I went to a lot of effort to download this thing... I guess you get what you pay for.

Let me go check the price of the full package.
$199 - I sent support a email. I am sure it said this would have more than I am hearing.

How is this for service:
Hi Dan,
Thanks for getting in touch! Primary Colors does indeed include more: specifically, long notes and short notes for strings, brass, and woodwinds. Regarding activating these other sounds, one thing to note is that clicking on the name of the articulation selects it so you can edit parameters like how to trigger it and the attack and release, but it doesn't activate it for playback. By default, all those articulations are activated by keyswitches C6 - F6, though you can click on their name to change how they are activated.
What is the typical price one pays for the full version of Kontakt?
I picked up Kontakt 5 a while back to be able to take advantage of the sweet freebies which come along and require the full version. I was able to use a free versions library which played in the Player to get the crossover discount. I suspect I paid not more than 149$. Since that is where my pain threshold for this type of stuff is.
