From Solo to Symphony

Introducing an inspiring, world-class creative tool and a true innovation in sampling.

Spitfire has harnessed the power of four different string sections to create a sound like no other.

Move seamlessly from a quintet of single players performing at the softest level, right up to a full 60-piece symphonic string section playing full pelt - all in the same instrument.

Expertly recorded in The Hall at London’s AIR Studios - Spitfire's spiritual home, and the scoring stage for the biggest blockbuster films, including Harry Potter, The Dark Knight and Inception - we offer you the most dynamic and expressive strings that we have ever created, almost impossible to recreate live.

Featuring 21 essential articulations, the library ~5GB enables you to achieve new levels of expression by controlling dynamics and number of players simultaneously, giving you incredible focus, texture and magnitude - an imagined aperture in sound.

The super-soft Pinhole Ensemble was recorded with the canopy of AIR dropped to achieve a close, intimate and focused sound, and is also available to play on its own.

The Refractions patch offers you swells and waves made from the existing Aperture Ensemble, allowing you to play without controllers as both the ensemble and dynamics grows and then fades.

The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.

iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration

iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home

iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.

iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.

iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).
