Best Free Kontakt Electric Piano Sample Libraries

[peter]

Whether you’re a Wurly, Rhodes or other electric piano brand fan, you don’t need to take out your credit card to find a great Kontakt electric piano library.  

Fracture Sounds: Blueprint Electric Keys (KONTAKT PLAYER LIBRARY)
A beautiful, 1969 Rhodes Mark I Electric Piano library that’s good enough to be a paid library. It allows you to adjust the key noise. It doesn’t have a bunch of presets, but it lets you choose between direct input and amped and has controls for stereo spread, reverb, chorus, and atmosphere.  It’s pretty obvious to see the developer’s rationale for giving this away free. Once you use it, you’ll be interested in their other libraries.

Soniokinetic EMP Electromechanical Piano (KONTAKT PLAYER LIBRARY)
A Rhodes Mark II Electric Piano. This is a decent sounding electric piano,  that definitely has a very lofi vibe to it. It’s definitely not as pleasing as some of the other choices below, like my favorite free electric piano, Fracture Sounds: Blueprint Electric Keys, but that’s a different model Rhodes, so if you want to have a larger palate of electric pianos, give this a try. It is compatible with the free Kontakt Player, so you don’t even need to own the full version of Kontakt to enjoy it.

Lo-fi Wurly
Despite the name Lo-fi Wurly, this Wurltizer electric piano AKA Wurli/Wurly is a detailed sample library that sounds really nice, but unfortunately does have noise in it that a pro sample developer would have fixed.

Premier Sound Factory Wurly G
I want to put a caveat on this one, as I don’t love this sample library straight from the factory, however, I made my own user presets that I like a lot. So, if you spend a little effort, I think you can get some nice sounds of this, but I’m not in love with the sound straight out of the box.
