Another angle: sometimes companies offer free samples or smaller versions. Maybe there's a free Kontakt library with a subset of Montage's sounds. The user might be confusing that with the full library. Also, maybe some educational institutions provide it for students, but that's not a general free download.
Claims of a "free full download" of the Yamaha Montage Kontakt Library are misleading or illegal. While Yamaha and Native Instruments offer trial versions of paid products (such as demo libraries or Kontakt Player trials), these are restricted in functionality or time (e.g., 15-minute sound limitations or time-limited access).
Make sure to stress legal access, the value of purchasing, and the risks of downloading non-official sources.
The Yamaha Montage is a high-performance digital stage piano and synthesizer, renowned for its advanced sound design capabilities, including FM-X (Frequency Modulation) and AWM2 (Automated Waveform Memory) synthesis engines. It is a favorite among professional musicians and producers for its rich sonic palette. Native Instruments' Kontakt is a powerful software sampler and virtual instrument platform, widely used in Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) to host sound libraries and sample-based instruments. Together, Yamaha and Native Instruments have collaborated to create the Yamaha Montage Kontakt Library , which replicates the sounds of the Montage hardware within the Kontakt environment.
Wait, but is there a free version? I remember that Yamaha has some sound libraries, but I think their main Montage sound library might be part of a purchase. For example, if you buy the physical Montage keyboard, you get access to its sounds. But if you buy just the sound library, maybe it's paid. However, the user is talking about a free download. Maybe there's a demo version? Or could there be a misunderstanding here?
