I hope you all made out well during the recent sales. I started out mostly going after presets but slowly but surely got happily slapped around by a number of Kontakt library developers and ended up with a lot of nice, coveted stuff. Speaking of synth presets, maybe no bigger recent deal than this one at VST Buzz, still going on for the next five days or so:
96% off "Zampler Bundle" by Zampler
If that doesn't keep you busy, surf for even more expansions with the links in another thread:
Free: Zampler + 6 Sound Banks
Sonokinetic's 12 Days Of Christmas offerings started yesterday with deep discounts and today's (12/9) is Carousel for free. It is a Free Kontatakt Player library. You can still sign up for the next 10 notices on the website.
12 Days of Christmas Sale - Sonokinetic - Sample libraries and Virtual Instruments
Rigid Audio is (again) having a series of items on sale during the month of December. They are giving away the Ambiloop Bundle for free. Dated by some standards but still embarasses and beats the crap out of a lot of others. Serious fun and utility with these two (Ambi I & II) and a free no-brainer you should have in your (full version of Kontakt) arsenal.

For the next 6 days or so Simple Samples Audio is offering Kris Kalimba (and a competition using it for another library) for free. A number of their libraries have recently been featured at Audio Plugin Deals.

I mentioned Ferrum-Free Edition for the free Kontakt 6 Player in a separate posting. It's an impressive freebie with informative videos on the website. Note that it does not look for its snapshots in the default Kontakt location so you'll have to use the "Create a Path" and "Show Location" features to see where to place the included snapshots.

If you need a more conventional Cinematic Percusion freebie, Splash Sound just updated their free version of Percussion Elements and the full version is still available at an 80% discount ($19).
