Key Features
The Spitfire Audio Albion NEO is a modern orchestral toolkit for composers, producers, and artists creating intimate hybrid scores. Built around a 36-piece chamber orchestra recorded at AIR Studios, NEO focuses on clarity, emotion, and close detail rather than sheer scale. Divisi strings, expressive woodwinds, and characterful brass give you definition straight out of the box, all delivered in a single, playable patch that keeps ideas moving quickly. Alongside the orchestra, the eDNA engine transforms these organic recordings into evolving synth textures, pads, and rhythmic elements, making it easy to blur the line between acoustic and electronic sound design. With extensive multi-mic control, curated mixes, and compatibility with the free Kontakt Player, Albion NEO fits neatly into modern scoring workflows for film, TV, and forward-thinking productions that demand nuance and flexibility.

Albion NEO shifts the focus away from oversized orchestral statements and towards detail, space, and emotional weight. The smaller ensemble size allows every performance to breathe, giving you closer articulation and greater expressive control. Strings are recorded with divisi throughout, helping chords and melodic lines remain clear even in dense writing. Combined with flexible mic choices and thoughtfully curated mixes, you can shape the orchestra to sit naturally within modern productions. This approach works particularly well for hybrid scoring, where orchestral elements need to blend smoothly with electronic textures rather than dominate them.
Designed with contemporary scoring in mind, Albion NEO reflects the growing demand for subtle, character-led soundtracks in film, TV, and streaming content. Its compact orchestra delivers intensity without excess, making it easier to score intimate scenes or restrained cues with precision. The library balances traditional orchestral techniques with more experimental articulations, giving you a palette that supports modern harmonic language and evolving arrangements. If your work leans towards emotive, understated writing rather than blockbuster scale, NEO provides a focused orchestral voice that feels current and adaptable.
At the core of Albion NEO is a 36-piece orchestra recorded to tape at 96kHz in the Hall at AIR Studios, London. You get 54 articulations across strings, brass, and woodwinds, including both classic techniques and more unconventional options for added colour. Five microphone positions – Close, Close Ribbon, Tree, Ambient, and Outriggers – let you dial in anything from dry detail to spacious depth, while two curated mixes offer quick results when time is tight. Everything is mapped into a single patch, keeping performance and orchestration fast and intuitive.
Segla Textures take the organic NEO recordings and reshape them into evolving pads, effects, and rhythmic layers using Spitfire’s eDNA engine. These sounds are built to move, making them useful for underscore, atmosphere, and hybrid transitions. With 85 curated presets, a built-in arpeggiator, and control over tone and movement, you can quickly create textures that sit between orchestral and electronic worlds. It’s a practical tool for adding motion and depth without reaching for additional synth libraries.
Stephenson’s Steam Band expands Albion NEO into deeper hybrid territory, combining orchestral sources with vintage and modular synths from Christian Henson’s personal collection. Processed through tape, pedals, and modular gear, these sounds offer characterful pads and textures that feel organic rather than synthetic. The 108 presets are designed for emotional impact, whether you need subtle harmonic beds or more warped, experimental layers. Housed within the same eDNA engine, they integrate smoothly with the orchestral content for cohesive sound design.
Brunel Loops provide a collection of 116 evolving loops designed for instant inspiration and momentum. Built from strings, guitars, synths, percussion, and field recordings, they range from gentle, atmospheric pulses to more rhythmic and distorted material. Flexible playback options let you work with full mixes or individual stems, map selected elements chromatically, reverse loops, and sync everything to your DAW tempo. These loops are particularly useful when you need quick, emotive movement that still feels musical and considered within a score or production.
