WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ABBEY ROAD ORCHESTRA PERCUSSION PRO AND CORE?
The Core releases of Abbey Road Orchestra - Low, High and Metal Percussion introduce a more affordable tier of these products, similar to other Abbey Road Orchestra releases that followed.
The only difference between Professional and Core is that Core only uses Mix 1, and doesn't have any further signals.
Professional has 16 microphone signal options.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ABBEY ROAD ORCHESTRA AND ABBEY ROAD ONE?
Abbey Road Orchestra - Low Percussion is the first instalment in the new Abbey Road Orchestra product line. Crafted for professional composers, producers, sound designers and music editors, Abbey Road Orchestra brings you every section of the orchestra in breathtaking detail. It’s the culmination of over 20 years of sampling experience and innovation.
Abbey Road One is a range of ensemble libraries captured in Studio One at Abbey Road, created by Spitfire Audio in partnership with Abbey Road Studios. This is made up of a core library called Abbey Road One: Orchestral Foundations, and then smaller libraries called Abbey Road One: Film Scoring Selections series.
The Selections are smaller and more focused libraries inspired by classic films, offering pre-orchestrated instrument pairings and themes. Featuring pre-arranged ensembles of classic orchestral pairings, each Selection is designed to help you accomplish a simple task phenomenally well.
WHAT MAKES ABBEY ROAD ORCHESTRA MODULAR?
Over the coming years, Spitfire will release each section of the orchestra, bit by bit, in huge detail.
Similar to the BML / Sable range in Spitfire's history, each section can be purchased separately to suit your needs.
The practical difference is that each Abbey Road Orchestra release will install into the same plugin, ensuring you don't need to load multiple different libraries as it will all be housed in the same interface.
