So glad you're at the point in your journey where you can afford to give for free. I know you've had freebies in the past, but having a dedicated campaign for free instruments is a whole new level. Congratulations!
Thanks to the folks at Westwood for creating instruments with great flexibility and sound quality. I've been enjoying and incorporating several of them into my compositions - keep up the good work! ❤
Thank you for this amazing gift, as a newcomer to Westwood and being a media composer i am really looking foward to getting to know your libraries. Sean Fourie from South Africa
This is probably one of, if not the best free instrument i´ve ever gotten my hands on. I can not believe how good it sounds. Give me more of it, maybe with brass and or woodwinds and i´ll happily throw my wallet at you 🙂 Thank you very much!
Would it be a stretch if I said we owe this to Christian Henson? That man carved a path with the LABS series that has inspired so many companies to do something similar.
Just bought your electric piano last weekend and I absolutely love it. Maybe gonna buy the alt piano as well at some point 😂 and definitely gonna test roots as well
Enjoyed Lost Guitars instantly which I purchased recently. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏴 The software integrated perfectly with my workflow in Native Instruments (Maschine S88 Keys and Jam) The sounds and the work put into the interface is awesome ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jono 🏴 Glasgow
When I see that is made for Kontakt Player, with no other details, I know it most likely means Kontakt Player 7... and that means I won't be able to have fun with these instruments for many years to come. I can't even use the final version of Kontakt 6. Native instruments really screwed a lot of people with the way they keep dropping OSX support during incremental updates to Kontakt. And I blame Apple too. There is no reason to have gone through so many friggin' operating systems over the past few years, dropping support for applications that I depend on. Now suddenly, the only developers I can support are those who take the time to make their products work on older versions of Kontakt and installers that will work on older versions of OSX. The list of cool VIs and plugins that I can't use is growing and growing....but I will look forward to playing with these instruments one day.
@@soundsgoodtome -- If it were that easy and if I wasn't trying to preserve software that I depend on, I would have done that already. But I could keep quiet and just accept it rather than belly aching about it. I should probably just do that.
@user-pn3cj8sd5r -- I can't do that... I have a several decades body of work that is all with apple products. The nightmare of switching platforms would be 1000x times greater for me than having stay stuck with Kontakt 6.
@@zedxxx9 I sympathize with your situation. Over the years, many of us have had to retire software that we enjoyed. It's just a part of life. But almost always, there's newer software that does what the old software did *better*. This is technology, and technology marches on. Instead of fighting it, try embracing it. Think of it as an adventure. Yes, you may have to replace some software here and there, but you may fall in deeper love with something new that does far more than the old software hire fighting to keep. In the end, it's fun. Embrace it. Get a new computer, and enjoy all this new stuff!

Lovely pictures in this video, they reminds me my childhood ❤. Thanks for the library:)
Way to go Westwood! It sounds lovely :)
Such an amazing instrument! Really hard to believe that it's completely for free. I already hear this combined with Lost Piano
Thanks for the free beautiful sounds :)
Nice, thankyou Westwood 🙏🎹🎵

I spy a Westwood T-Shirt… love it 🙌
Shameless product placement 😁
Beautiful. Thank you so much!
Oh yeah... Free strings libraries are ALWAYS accepted))

A bit of a stretch, yes.
How lovely, and yes, constraint is an amazing force for creativity, thanks very much. 👍🙏😎
Just bought your electric piano last weekend and I absolutely love it. Maybe gonna buy the alt piano as well at some point 😂 and definitely gonna test roots as well
Thanks! Violas definitely seem to be under-appreciated, I am looking forward to trying this out!
We totally agree. Violas > Violins 🫣
awesome ... sounds amazing ... thank you

I've got to ask..where is the West Wood? Both it and the instrument look great.
It’s in the North of England!

0:20 Is this footage a reference to True Detective season 1? 😀😀
Not consciously, but that show is 🔥. A real game changing title sequence.
Did any other free roots library’s come out?
You can check the website to be sure you're up to date: www.westwoodinstruments.com/roots/

Or you could update your computer.

@user-pn3cj8sd5r Apple's software updates bring amazing, new features and are always *free*. So, how is that a "cash grab"?

Did you say "free" Kontakt player? The info I got from your website is, that it works only with the full version?!
Roots instruments are designed work with the latest version of the free Kontakt Player
@@adrianbankswestwood Thanks!
