This library contains over 200 hours of recordings and more than 1,000,000 individual samples, offering a wealth of articulations and playing techniques for composers working in film, TV, or video game production.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra Professional stands out with its innovative use of 20 mixable signals, offering a new level of control over your final mix. With 11 microphone positions — including traditional Close, Tree, and Ambient mics, as well as vintage mono mics used by the BBC since the 1930s — you can tailor your orchestral sound to suit any project. Additional mic setups, such as leader mics for a more focused sound and balcony mics for distant, ambient recordings, give you even more flexibility. The spill signals from other sections add depth and fullness, while two stereo mixes by Jake Jackson (one natural, one more 'hyped') provide ready-made options for immediate use. This range of signals allows you to create everything from tight, upfront orchestrations to expansive, cinematic soundscapes, all within one powerful library.
With mode-switching technology, you can easily transition between different versions of the software, enabling you to start composing with one version and finish in another without losing any detail. This feature is especially useful for collaboration, allowing you to send projects to others who may be working with different setups. Their contributions will align perfectly with your original composition, ensuring a seamless creative process.
Mode switching is a game-changer for composers working in different environments or with limited resources, offering a flexible way to create world-class music.
