Con Moto - Complete Bundle (sale through mid-April)

Well, this is a library made by Jasper Blunk, an innovative composer and library producer who offers some libraries that other developers do not offer.

First, I had to accustom myself to his approach of "delays" of the sounds and these "no purist" kind of sounds.

But the more I got used to his philosophy of sample libraries, the more I am able to work with his products.

His products are really outstanding and they are always an "ear-catcher" on top of a composition.
I like it.
 
Loving the demos! Its killing me I can't pick it up as I use logic. If AU support comes later ill pull the trigger ASAP
As a Logic user, I'm waiting a moment but will definitely purchase this. It's the same disclaimer Jasper put up for Caspian Brass, and that is completely workable in Logic, especially if you use only one mic position until mixing.
 
Well, hoping Logic users who take the plunge will let us know how it's performing.

A disclaimer suggesting it's resource hungry is one thing, but to say it should be avoided by Logic users on the product page is another.

And I know it says "Logic AU" users, so if there's an obvious workaround to using this as a VST in Logic with the same functionality and performance as would be achieved by non-Logic users, it would be good to mention that right after the disclaimer. But there's nothing like that mentioned.
Fair enough, actually.
 
Yeah -- disappointed that it seems to be Logic-unfriendly, but glad that Jasper is just upfront about it. I appreciate the warning, even as I wish it weren't necessary.
 
Purchased Con Moto Cellos !

Looking forward to discovering these tasty sounding cellos :thumbsup:

I'm hoping Con Moto Violins will be out next.

Many Thanks to Performance Samples.
 
Will wait and see what happens till 9th of may from OT and their 30% sales. If there isn‘t something for me, I think this looks great to complete my setup for now:)
 
What is the actual issue created for Logic users? Clicks, dropouts?

On a positive note, as a cellist these are some of the best VI cellos I've ever heard. It is just one more home run for the "significant preroll sampling" approach. First CSS, then Fluid Shorts, now Con Moto, are all showing that this approach pays dividends that far exceed the minor hassle of programming a compensating negative track delay.

Exactly, I agree the hassle is minor, considering the benefits.

I'm not sure that's what he wrote... CPU spikes can cause serious problems. The library seems too sound great, too bad if there's something with Logic/the AU format which causes spikes. I hope Apple will address this.

Not so obvious, actually, since one cannot load VSTs in Logic. Seriously, AU only.
 
This new review might help some decide...

I just wish it had a little more bite at the top dynamic, but kudos to Jasper and PerfSamp. :)

Agree. Would be nice to listen to clear marcato bite when hitting hard velocities. I guess this and Adventure Strings in 2 keyswitches should cover these kinda phrases well. Still, 500$ for a legato/sustain patch only orchestra is a bit too much for me.

Sure, that was about the stuff that could be compensated with negative delay. I just don't think the negative aspect of using this with Logic necessarily can be summed up by saying that there's only minor hassle associated with using this lib with Logic, based on the warnings on their site. But I see that that maybe that wasn't you claimed either... I talked about clicks/pops/CPU spikes, you were maybe focusing on the negative track delay thing (which isn't Logic specific pf course).

@Vik - Me and @NoamL were only referring to the delay on the legato transitions and how that allows for samples to have a higher quality legato transition realism. Like we've seen on such libraries as Cinematic Studio Strings. The Logic problems do not seem to be minor problems, and I did not refer to those at all, as I am not even on Logic myself. Again what NoamL and I were referring to is that we think the hassle of having to pull notes before the beat in order to have it all in sync up in tempo, is a minor one, given how much better and real the legato transitions sound.
