REBUILT FREEBIE
Key Features
- Manipulated upright-piano recordings from the same source sessions as Inlet Audio's REBUILT UPRIGHT library.
- One focused resonant piano sound designed to sit between familiar acoustic piano and synth-like atmospheric texture.
- Five included presets for quickly moving between related emotional colors without turning the library into a large preset browser.
- Long reflections and shifting harmonics make it useful for sparse scoring, ambient beds, and hybrid cue intros.
- Full Kontakt requirement keeps it aimed at users with the paid sampler rather than Kontakt Player-only setups.
- Pulse Downloader delivery keeps installation tied to Inlet Audio's normal account/download workflow.
Description
REBUILT FREEBIE is a resonant upright-piano instrument for the full version of Kontakt, built from recordings captured for Inlet Audio's REBUILT UPRIGHT sessions at Altamira Sound. Instead of presenting the source piano as a conventional playable upright, it pushes those recordings into a more atmospheric instrument with long reflections, shifting harmonics, and a subtly unstable tone.
The library focuses on one manipulated piano sound with five included presets, so it is deliberately narrow rather than a full multi-articulation piano package. That limitation suits sparse writing, reflective harmony, hybrid scoring beds, and slow cinematic movement where the piano should feel alive without filling the arrangement too heavily.
Rekkerd and KVR both frame it as a new free Kontakt piano library, while Inlet Audio's official Shopify product remains priced at 0 EUR and available. The only time-limited language found during this run was the extra 15 EUR discount on REBUILT UPRIGHT through July 16, 2026, not the freebie itself.
Access should stay external because Inlet Audio distributes the library through its own freebie unlock/cart flow and Pulse Downloader rather than a public direct ZIP. The official page also confirms that it requires full Kontakt, not Kontakt Player, version 6.8.0 or later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does REBUILT FREEBIE work in Kontakt Player?
No. Inlet Audio's official specs say it requires full Kontakt, not Kontakt Player, version 6.8.0 or later. Users with only the free Kontakt Player should expect the usual demo-mode limitation for unlicensed full-Kontakt libraries.
How is it different from REBUILT UPRIGHT?
It uses recordings captured for REBUILT UPRIGHT, but the official page says those recordings were pushed further through processing and manipulation. The result is a narrower resonant instrument rather than a full intimate upright piano library.
How many sounds are included?
The official page lists one included sound and five presets. That makes it a focused texture instrument for a specific piano color rather than a broad multi-instrument collection.
How is the download delivered?
Inlet Audio routes its freebies through an unlock/cart flow and says installation and download happen via the Pulse Downloader app. SSA should link externally instead of mirroring an unverified private delivery file.
