A new dawn for epic scoring
A new era in blockbuster scoring is upon us. Our most epic library yet, this gargantuan, all-in-one toolkit pushes contrast, dynamism and intensity to eleven — elevating your scores to breathtaking new heights.
Action films are nothing without suspense. This feat of musical engineering offers every element needed to seamlessly transport your scores from quiet suspense and tension, through to the most dramatic and epic of soundworlds — featuring two complete orchestras, chamber and symphonic, heavy chugging guitars, a diverse, hard-hitting set of percussion and drum kits, and epic, widescreen synths — expertly crafted for ultra-modern scoring. Discover all-new features including Scale, Depth and Hype – expressive controls to help you build intensity and push sounds even further.
The calm and the storm
There is no impact without suspense and tension. We have built Albion Colossus with this principle at its core — moving from a delicate moment to powerful rage in a single patch.
Build calm
Explore close and small ensembles, flautando chamber strings, tense dark synths, and brooding guitars.
Create the storm
Feel the force of a full symphonic orchestra, hard-hitting percussion, epic synths and six guitars re-amped through six stacks in a concert hall.
Need more rage?
Go to eleven with the new Hype function: epic production levels added to each sound pushing your intensity to new exciting heights.
Two orchestras
Take control of a chamber orchestra (42 players) and a symphony orchestra (111 players) across strings, brass and woodwind and percussion, seamlessly blending between the two to create new dynamism and intensity.
The two orchestras were captured at Scotland's Studios, based in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall — the chamber orchestra in the New Auditorium, and the symphony orchestra in the Royal Concert Hall. Recorded using the same recording equipment and the same musicians.
Twice the expression
Breaking the formula in this Albion, the Colossus plugin allows us to add much more dynamism to this sample library than previous instalments - delivering four dimensions of control, rather than the usual two.
Accompanying the standard dynamics (volume) and expression (timbre) faders are the brand new Hype, Scale and Depth controls. With these unique features, you now have more dynamic and intensity control than ever before: simple to use and incredibly effective.
Behind the production
Colossus offers inspiring new tools that are quick to access and easy to use. We keep consistency and cohesion in mind at every step of our production process, delivering elements that work together seamlessly and capture the essence of modern Hollywood blockbuster scoring — sounds that would be challenging, if not impossible, to recreate.
Albions
The original Albion concept was simple — everything you need to create breathtaking scores for TV, film, games, and trailers, as well as giving you the edge when adding cinematic, hybrid orchestral elements to pop, electronic music, and beyond in one product.
Trusted by media composers around the world for over 10 years, Albion virtual Instruments are centred around an orchestra of varying sizes, performing a huge range of classic and progressive techniques — with their own individual twist. Whether you’re looking for the classic, cinematic sound of Albion One, intense lows of Albion Uist, Albion Tundra's "edge of silence" textures, the delicate modernity of Albion Neo, the organic folk noir Albion Solstice or the brand new action packed Albion Colossus — this range is designed for those who want an instant cinematic sound.
