ALBION COLOSSUS
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 Clockwork 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.

Heavy guitars
Crafted brooding guitar tones, re-amped in a concert hall. Perfect for backing up the orchestra whilst also holding their own in heavier scoring moments.
Percussion & drums
Create impact with an ultra-modern and diverse selection of percussion from the traditional orchestra, tuned and untuned, to junkyard smashing and heavy-hitting acoustic and synth drum kits.
Doom synths
Masterminded synths that move from clean to dirty, from light to dark. Discover subversive drones, powerful shorts, doom-like basses and much more, created in collaboration with sound artist Snakes of Russia.
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 installments - 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.
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.
