Another very nice freebie for the 'Free Kontakt Player'. This one is from Spitfire Audio.

It also includes a mini-course on writing for Orchestra.

 

This is the blurb from Spitfire:

Just a follow-up to my above 'Spitfire Audio' post.

I downloaded the library, and it came in at just under 6 gigs.

 

It does sound very nice, but beware...The articulations are very limited and only consist of two variations on the instruments - Just Longs and shorts.

The rest of the articulations are in demo mode with just one playable note.

I have quite a substantial amount of SA libraries, so of course, I'm not part of the target audience. 

But sound wise, like I said, it does sound nice and authentic and may well be of use to many.
