I finally finished working my way through all the stuff on Pianobook.
Here’s a breakdown of the numbers;
Kontakt 5.8.1 – 654 patches (nki) and 178 multis (nkm)
Kontakt 6 – 226 patches (nki) and 15 multis (nkm)
Logic Pro EXS24 – 222 patches (exs)
Battery 4 – 12 kits (nbkt)
sfz format – 38 patches (sfz)
You can filter or sort certain things out on the site, but currently there is no way to ID the Kontakt 5.8.1 content for most entries.
It is actually very difficult to display useful and appropriate information on these strange format forum pages. So here’s a test just with the letter P. As there is no preview, I have to hope it’s ok, because somethings post can’t be edited.
If you look under Pianos libraries on the site, you should be able to locate PALM MUTED SCHIMMEL, and if you select to download it, there may be several and the name of the download is provided here as confirmation that you have the right pack for Kontakt 5.8.1
