I started my download of Albion One before heading to bed last night. I woke up an hour early this morning (at 5AM!) so that I could play around for a little while before heading to work. I was able to sample all of the orchestral patches and they sound absolutely fantastic. The low woodwinds at high velocity make me smile. So good! The legato is much improved over the original too. I have to say though, if you load up all four microphones on the legato strings patch, you're looking at using over 3GB of RAM! Good thing it sounds fine using only a couple of mics. I also had a chance to very briefly play with the Darwin Percussion. Those Easter Island Hits are enormously powerful! Wow! I have a feeling that if I'm going to want to use those to their full potential in a mix, I'm going to have to mix everything around those, because there's not going to be a lot of room left if I bring one of those bad boys in later. After work today I'm going to check out the Brunel Loops and Stephenson's Steam Band synths. So far, I'm very happy with the upgrade and very glad that I purchased the original so that I could upgrade at such a low price. Great work, Spitfire!

So far pleased although I ran into a few quirks. A few patches are blank or aren't loading correctly, there's some funky level differences between articulations.
Future updates should take care of these minor issues.
Sounds great overall, ready to start working with it in projects.

Be sure to report any problems to Spitfire so that they're aware of them. They are usually really good about getting patches out quickly. It's a great sounding library, isn't it!? :D

my oh my... and my day continues to get better! Just logged on after an awesome day buying a Pathfinder to replace my decrepit, ancient, beat up, piece of crap nissan 4 banger...that was no longer helping me effectively create gardens... I'm already in blissville, having never owned anything so amazing... and here I find you all jizzing (at least, over at vic) about the early release... Don't know how much more I can take... Downloading and enjoying the excitement... 2 weeks early.... nice! Glad I bought in before finding my path! PS... early bird buyin is now ticking... looks like end of this month, now that loads of vids and the wiggle ist amongst us...

OK, people... watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei-f_T1Us9A it's a quick discussion of the hugely POWERFUL eDNA engine, bringing in samples, tweaking them into awesome loops.... you'll freak out... this is way beyond an "orchestral" library...

I contacted support, there's an issue with missing ostinatum presets. It should be in the first update but in the meantime you can dl these from them. this forum won't post the full link, make sure to copy/paste the entire url http://audio-transfer.s3.amazonaws.com/Support Fixes/Ostinatum presets.zip

I also asked them to include ensembles patches. They weren't in the original Albion either until they had requests for it. Do the same if you'd like them added.
Could be just an oversight like the osti's.

As far as I can tell, Albion Legacy had more ostinatum presets than One does. There are 104 in Legacy, and 84 in One. It appears that all of the presets in One are also in Legacy (going by their names), but One is missing 20 that were in Legacy. I wonder if presets that are in One are reconfigured to work better with One's new recordings and scripting or if they're the exact same files as those in Legacy. Also, I hope they release the manual soon! :)

The hybrid orchestra section of the Stephenson's Steam Band is like nothing ever seen befor... applying the edna engine to brass, strings, and OMG holy batman!!! Of course... you can go on from there... call up your own two orchestral samples... f,p, coleg, pizz, spic... hi/low whatever... and start playing with edna...
edna is my new squeeze! Best girlfriend ever!!!
This, my friends is totally REVOLUTIONARY!!!! usually we employ lots of synthesis to approach an orchestral sound and this is totally the reverse.... taking friggin' AWESOME top of the line orchestral sample packages (layed out across the keyboard) and applying synthesis/rhythms/warps/stutters/all kinds of mania to the root samples... it is absolutely mindblowing and beyond words...start from a killer creation already in ur list, switch out samples, tweak away for rhythms or whatever moves you within edna, and voila!!!
Naturally, save all your creations!

Frackin' UNBELIEVABLE!!! A must listen!!! Walid over at vi control just did a quick take on ONE... this is ALL from ONLY Albion ONE... took him an hour... https://soundcloud.com/walidfeghali/midnight-parade-only-albion-one his words say it better than me... "Did a quick 1 hour composition with ONLY Albion ONE and no external reverb or anything, straight out of the box! Man, I love this library, feels so lush and powerful at the same time. The strings legato are worth the price alone of this library, holy Jesus Christ."

Saxor just posted this exquisite, lovely piece over at VI Control that you'd never think could be done with an ensemble library...
https://soundcloud.com/saxer/you-are-the-one
Wow! I mean....damn you! Srsly tho - Spitfire should pay him for that. They should rack up quite a few sales off that piece alone.

Help me out here; is it worth it to break open the piggy bank to get original Albion for $229 and then get Albion One for an additional $229, or just get Albion One for about $500 when I actually have the money? Given how amazing Albion One is, Am I really going to dip into "legacy" Albion, ever?
By the way, is GAS an acronym for "Get Another Synth" or "Going Against Sanity"? Either way, I've got it.

The legacy version is worth it at this sale price. Even without upgrading to the newer ONE it will always be relevant.

You could live with the original Albion forever... and, yes, it does have things that ONE doesn't. Furthermore, you get to buy into ONE at a hugely discounted rate...even a year or two from now, after the intro discount is over... If you can still find it. Sweetwater no longer has it.
