Weltmeister Royal Standart by CMusic Production is a free accordion instrument patch for Native Instruments Kontakt.
Although it is a virtual instrument, its single-layer samples contain a surprising depth and character of voicing, making it a very accessible and acceptable tool to any producer who does not have access to a real accordion. As developer tells us, the Weltmeister Royal Standard virtual replica is “designed to get creating music instantly”.

Also, on developer’s page we find out that the velocity is regulated by modulation, using a filter that continuously varies the timbre as the modulation values change. A simple way to add accents while playing.
If you own the full version of Kontakt 5.0 or above, then Weltmeister Royal Standart is a keeper.
The freebie is available via CMusic Production; registration is required.
