Following on from an initial successful launch, Spitfire Audio is pleased to announce a colossal update to Albion Colossus (free to existing users). Featuring 995 new eDNA techniques bolstered by five distorting, carnage-provoking warps, and 26 new EVOs, this update enhances Spitfire Audio’s most epic library yet, extending its genre-blending abilities, and bolstering the two orchestras and groundbreaking Hype, Depth, and Scale features.
The EVO Grid Mode – An array of hand-crafted evolving textures generated from Spitfire Audio’s acoustic content accessible in their EVO Engine. With 10 strings (chamber & symphonic), four brass (chamber & symphonic), four woodwinds (chamber & symphonic), and eight granular evolutions (chamber & symphonic), the possibilities are endlessly inspiring.
eDNA – Spitfire Audio’s fully featured sound design engine is stocked with a curated selection of sounds from the library. Each one is reprocessed to bring you an entirely new palette to explore. From ethereal pads to pure orchestral carnage. Providing 995 techniques and enhanced by five distorting, carnage-provoking warps, take your compositions to the next level.
Eco-Load feature – Eco-Load allows the selected technique(s) to be loaded to RAM, offloading all other techniques to save on system resources.
Warps (5):
- Ignite – A burning saturation creeping to distortion with uncomfortable over-compression, reducing dynamics but adding superficial edge & grit
- Harbinger – Complete desecration of the signal, removing all consistency, purity, and on occasion even tone
- ReFlux – A sound akin to uncared for tape, constantly moving, drifting, and fighting to maintain pitch and structure
- Corruptor – Where bits start to fall & circuits bend, slowly degrading the signal and introducing non-linear artifacts
- Haze – Blurred beyond recognition, ambient, slowed down, and saying somewhat reverberant doesn’t even come close

About Spitfire Audio (www.spitfireaudio.com)
Spitfire Audio is a British music technology company that specializes in sounds — sample libraries, virtual instruments, and other useful software devices. It collaborates with the best composers, artists, and engineers in the world to build musical tools that sound great and are exciting to use.
Spitfire Audio was founded by two award-winning composers: Christian Henson and Paul Thomson. Born out of their shared dissatisfaction for string sample libraries, they pooled their resources and decided to record their own string samples at the legendary Air Studios in London. Initially, they invited a limited number of friends and associates to own copies of their samples, but whispers of this private sample club soon started to echo across the Atlantic Ocean throughout the composer community. Within a year, some of the most renowned composers in film and television signed up, so Paul and Christian decided to take their samples public.
To date, Spitfire Audio has recorded and released over 100 sample libraries, collaborating with some of the biggest names in media composition, including Hans Zimmer, Eric Whitacre, Ólafur Arnalds & the London Contemporary Orchestra. Spitfire Audio’s sounds are heard in everything, from major Hollywood film scores to recordings by Radiohead and U2. Paul and Christian’s initial side project is now a thriving international music technology enterprise, with a uniquely experienced and diverse workforce, all focused on a shared mission: to inspire a generation of composers. The composer team remains at the center of the business, drawing on their own experience as obsessive music makers to explore the needs and wants of their fellow composers.
