Albion ONE is a comprehensive orchestral library, perfect for crafting cinematic scores. With a 109-piece orchestra, cinematic percussion, and warpable loops, it offers all the elements needed to create dynamic film music. Recorded at AIR Studios by award-winning engineers, the library provides high-energy dynamics and rich articulations, including legato, for expressive performances. Its versatility makes it suitable for various genres, giving composers full control over their sound.
Albion ONE captures the spirit of blockbuster film scores with recordings from the legendary AIR Studios in London, where some of the world's most iconic soundtracks were produced. Utilising premium equipment from some of the biggest names in the industry, recorded through a Neve console to 2-inch tape at 96kHz recording sample rate, Albion ONE brings the same level of detail and quality to your compositions. With pristine sound captured through vintage microphones and advanced preamps, Albion ONE offers a professional-grade foundation for crafting film music.
The original concept of Albion was straightforward—it aimed to provide everything you need to score a film in one complete product. Spitfire Audio assembled 109 of London’s finest musicians, regularly performing in Oscar-winning film score sessions and major global concert events. These talented players were recorded performing a variety of techniques, including short notes, long notes, tremolos, pizzicatos, and more. Each method was captured across a range of notes and by section (Brass Low, Mid, and High; Woods High and Low; Strings), offering you the flexibility to programme and perform your orchestral compositions with complete control.
The Darwin Percussion Ensemble in Albion ONE provides the foundation for creating powerful, rhythmic scores. Featuring a variety of drums, including low taikos and Easter Island hits, this collection delivers both subtle rhythms and dramatic, thunderous impacts. All percussion was recorded at AIR Studios and can be easily mapped and performed within your DAW using the intuitive Kickstart engine, making it simple to add rhythm and intensity to your compositions.

In addition to single hits recorded at AIR Studios, Spitfire Audio has captured hundreds of raw and manipulated loops from original sessions at their studio, featuring the renowned percussionist Paul Clarvis (Spectre, The Dark Knight, Harry Potter, Star Wars). Brunel Loops is a module built on the exceptionally versatile eDNA engine—a perfect tool for transforming your music. It allows you to warp, sequence, affect, and blend two input sources in perfect sync, offering endless possibilities for crafting unique loops that truly reflect your sound.
Stephenson’s Steam Band pushes orchestral sounds into new territories by blending them with synthesised textures. With 100 new presets created by Spitfire Audio’s founders, this module allows you to stretch and manipulate sounds using the eDNA engine. It’s perfect for creating unique pads and effects that combine orchestral richness with electronic soundscapes, offering endless possibilities for hybrid film scoring.
Albion ONE is fully integrated with Native Instruments' Kontakt Player and is NKS-ready, making it easy to use with hardware controllers and providing visual feedback for key switches and mappings. This seamless integration ensures a smooth workflow, allowing you to focus on composing without worrying about technical details.
To celebrate Spitfire Audio's 10th anniversary, the original Albion "legacy" product has been completely reimagined and expanded, setting new standards in the industry. The update includes a redesigned user interface and full NKS-ready integration for enhanced workflow. The orchestral section now features 15 new combination patches, blending different techniques and instrument groups in innovative ways.
The percussion section has been enriched with additional Easter Island hits and impressive new mixes by Jake Jackson. In Stephenson's Steam Synth, there are 63 new sounds and 67 presets, all designed by Spitfire Audio co-founder Christian Henson. Additionally, the Brunel Loops section now offers 78 new recordings with 8th, 16th, and 12th rhythmic patterns, plus 90 new presets, 51 of which were also crafted by Christian Henson.
Continually updated and brought up to modern standards, Albion ONE has undergone a 2024 update with additional instruments and articulations. New for 2024, Albion One has introduced loud FFF dynamics in patches including Brass, Horns, Strings and Trumpets.
