Spitfire Albion
Anyone here using Albion 1? Just wondered what kind of feedback users had about its sound and its features. I already have PS Orchestral Essentials and like it, but I am rather drawn to the sound of Albion and Albion solo strings. I wonder if these two libraries -OE and Albion - might be complimentary to one another, or redundant. They both seem to have some distinct differences as far as I can tell, in both sound and some features. I haven't seen or heard anything about Spitfire offering discounts at any time, but would love to catch a sale that might motivate me towards a purchase, perhaps.
Albion Loegria is about to be released as a follow up to Albion 1.

They're both great sounding libraries. Each different, complimentary & useful for layering. Albion's setup & layout is basically split into highs+lows/ shorts+longs. Here's an overview vid to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czjss4VThQA I'm hoping Albion owners will get a introductory promo discount of some kind when Albion Loegria is released.

Yes, an introductory offer would be nice, if they do such things, and all the more reason to fast become an owner of Albion 1. I really like the sound of Albion, and the Ostinatum feature seems useful for fast, repeated notes.

Yes, besides it's fantastic sound the Ostinatum feature is very useful. You can save them as scripts. Very handy when you want to add some on the fly, they load right onto an existing preset.

Does ostinatum come with any prefabricated scripts of any kind, and Albion include any phrases?
