The Professional version also contains ‘Extended’ techniques and additional legato content.
What makes Abbey Road Orchestra modular?
Over the coming years, Spitfire Audio will release each section of the orchestra, bit by bit in huge detail.
Similar to that of the BML / Sable range in Spitfire Audio'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 one plugin.
