  • Section Sets and their performance elements.

    I was thinking about buying one set to start. to get a sense of the library before making the full purchase. ie: Brass (I don't want to wait for the reviews to buy the whole set, I want to deside with a quick test run).

    Am I correct in assuming I will need to purchase the whole performance set.
    It seems I would need the performance elements in order to get a good sense of it.

    I think you should consider selling the sections with their performance elements. This would also serve people who, say, prefer to use someone else's string collection.

    I know your creating an all in one solution and I'm sure I'll own the whole thing... but I think this option is important. If a budget purchaser loved your wood winds but thought SI Strings were more his taste, they would have to pay for all those performances they didn't want.

    P.S. I am waiting with baited breath to try the legato tool. Is there a demo online using the strings with slides legato tool?

  • Hi JP!

    You´re correct there, the Performance Set is available as a full set for all the instruments of the Orchestral Cube (and it´s addictive!).

    To get an idea of how our Performance Tools work, get the Demo Cube, it has a demo version of the Legato Tool including .gig files of a cello ensemble and of a tenor trobone, and various instruments to give you a good overview, plus a multimedia CD with interviews and lots of info...

  • Hi Paul,

    Is the Demo Cube shipping yet?

  • I am in need of some great brass and woodwinds samples, and the demos on this site have won me over. I think you would benefit from selling the performance set section by section. I only need the brass and ww performances. Right now, I cannot afford to buy the whole performance set along with the brass and woodwinds!

    Any chance of adding this option?

  • HI Malo!

    The Performance Set is available as a whole set, that´s 110.000 Samples for 1490 Euro/US-$, in my opinion (and calculation) that simply speaks for itself!

    All the best, Paul

    I have to agree with Malo. You would benefit from selling the Performance set section by section instead of a whole set.

    In my case, I am only interested in the Woodwind and brass section. At 850$us, that is pretty good. However, I feel that the Horns a almost useless without the octave swell and the woodwind are not very useful without the letato option... In my case, I am really not interested in paying for having legato tool for stings if I have no intention of using these. Let say the performance set have half of the samples for the stings, so it worth half the value. So I will end up paying 745$us for something I have no intention of using on a total of 2340$us (850 B&WW + 1490 PS)? So it is almost one third of my money that I am paying that goes for something useless to me, unless I am paying an additional 940$us for the string that I don't want.

    Anyway, I have to say that it is a turn off to me. If I could get only the performance set only for the Brass and Woodwind for more or less half the price of the current Performance set, that would be WAY MORE interesting. That way, you pay for what you want!

  • I would also want just the strings and their perfomances. It is insane to buy the whole performance set. Still those legato and repetition tools are must for strings. You really should sell these section by section [*-)]
