I’m just wondering how the Spitfire Riccoti Mallets compares to the instruments in the Joby Burgess Spitfire Orchestral Perc library? Thinking about buying them. Hmmm...
Oh wow, lucky you! I have no G.A.S. this Black Friday as I am sizing down and my rare new purchases are rather far removed from stuff that is on Black Friday sales from any vendors at the moment. So I won't get to enjoy the Aperture Strings, whose audio demos I found quite impressive.

I use the Ricotti stuff all the time. Plus, got to work with him this summer and he's awesome.
I also have the regular Spitfire Orch library and the Ricotti mallets have much more control -- more mallets and so on.
One thing to remember on the Spitfire stuff -- though I don't know if it applies universally across all libraries -- is that Note On Velocity is rarely used, so I have to export older MIDI from DP to Logic and then run my custom script to convert to MIDI CC (DPO doesn't support this feature), to turn it into CC1 for Dynamics in Spitfire stuff.
I didn't know this when I first started using their libraries. The only parts that I have not yet done this for, are the chromatic percussion tracks, but I may have already concluded it's an exception to the rule. I was about to reinvestigate that this weekend. I know I did fiddle with things to get the best mallet choices and articulations at all times.
