Performance Samples Con Moto Strings Bundle on Sale

[Muziksculp]

Hi,

Performance Samples Con Moto Strings Bundle is on sale until March 12th. $299 (regular $529).

I like the way they sound. I don't have their Vista strings, so I thought Con Moto might be a good choice.

Anyone using these strings ? Would you recommend them ?

They also have other libraries/bundles on sale :

I do have the CM series, minus violins. They are narrowly focused in their usage, but in that they are very very good. In particular, I use the Celli any time I require a particularly expressive passage where other samples aren’t quite as effective. As such, I don’t believe I’ve ever used CM exclusively in a cue, but rather, they end up being used as bits and pieces here and there. Glad to have them but probably not indispensable to me.

Good for melodic lines and layering with other strings as a top layer - these are smaller sections and blend in very well. I agree with Luke that these are very specific and will need a more complete strings library to go with.

However, I believe VISTA is not like that and it has many more dynamic layers. However, still only sustains and legatos.

Hi

I checked Vista as well, it has less string players per section, more dynamic layers. But in general it's another Legato specialty strings library, but it is not on Sale.

I have lots of String libraries, that's not a problem here. I'm just thinking about adding Con Moto for its very nice legatos, and rich/expressive timbre. Plus they are on sale. The only other library I have from Performance Samples is their Fluid Shorts Strings, but I rarely use them.

Thanks.

Hi,

I decided to pass on both Performance Samples Vista, and Con Moto, since I already have some wonderful sounding legato strings, especially the flexible Performance Legatos available in Spitfire Audio's Chamber Strings , Symphonic Strings, and BBCSO Pro. Also have CSS, 8dio Strings, VSL, OT, and other String libraries with very good legato.

Cheers,
