A testament to the power and versatility of the Albion series, this tailored selection of sounds captures the essence of each library, from delicate legatos and emotive sustains to powerful staccatos and thunderous percussion. Incorporating the epic scale of Albion ONE, the rich textures of Albion Loegria's strings, the colossal low end of Albion Iceni, the icy beauty of Tundra and the intimate detail of NEO, this versatile collection provides the tools you need to paint vivid sonic landscapes and bring your musical vision to life. Soundscapes from across the Albions This exceptional collection draws from six distinct Albion libraries – ONE, Legacy, Loegria, Iceni, Tundra and NEO – offering a curated selection of sounds designed to blend seamlessly into any scoring project. Epic Strings Selections include the full dynamic range of Albion ONE's strings, the soaring highs and powerful lows of Iceni and Tundra, including Soft Wild patches. From delicate textures to thunderous power, you'll have everything you need to create truly unforgettable string passages. Intimate Strings Here the nuanced detail of Albion NEO and the emotive beauty of Loegria are showcased, capturing the intimacy of smaller string ensembles with exceptional clarity and expression. Epic Brass Create enormous cinematic brass sections with patches from Albion ONE's full brass range, the majesty Tundra, and the colossal low-end of Iceni. From heroic fanfares to awe-inspiring textures, you'll have the tools to create brass arrangements that resonate with power and emotion. Intimate Brass A more intimate and nuanced approach to brass scoring is achieved through the focused intensity of Albion NEO's brass, with long and short stacatissimo articulations. Epic Woodwinds Harnessing the soaring melodies of Albion ONE's woodwinds, the haunting textures of Tundra, and the rich depths of Iceni, this selection provides a wide range of woodwind colours and textures. Intimate Woodwinds The detail of Albion NEO's smaller ensemble provides warmth, intimacy and nuance for delicate woodwinds passages. Percussion Unleash the thunderous power of Darwin Percussion from Tundra and Iceni, the cinematic impact of Albion ONE's XXL Percussion and Legacy Cymbals & Gongs, and the nuanced detail of Loegria's Fine Drums. This diverse collection provides a rhythmic foundation for any scoring project. Albion Legatos We have hand-picked a palette of legato instruments from across the Albion libraries. From the quiet, intimate tones of Albion NEO's woodwinds and brass, to high-octave, soaring strings from Albion ONE, or the thick, luscious textures of the low Celli from Iceni, the legatos give you the natural, flowing transitions you need to craft melodies that sound connected and real.
