Orbis

Sometimes a score needs more than an orchestra. Now updated with 50 new presets and NKS compatibility, Orbis offers over 2500 extraordinary sounds, born out of organic performances, then treated and transported to epic new dimensions. Perfect for the progressively-minded composer, the sounds in this gargantuan creative compendium range from distorted loops to evolving textures and visceral one-shots; subsonic low-end to ethereal pads.

Ideal for producing rich-sounding, panoramic scores, Orbis reimagines the work of global sonic explorer David Fanshawe. Over 4 decades, Fanshawe travelled the globe to capture rare, beautiful performances from different cultures, previously unrecorded. Our sophisticated eDNA engine enables you to mix and manipulate these unique sounds to create an almost infinite set of creative possibilities.

Expand your horizons
Go beyond orchestral with this expansive, inspiring, one-of-a-kind collection of sounds, born out of rare recordings, treated, distorted and taken to new dimensions by our team of engineers, and presented in Spitfire’s highly sophisticated eDNA Engine.

Orbis was conceived in January 2015, when Jane Fanshawe introduced Spitfire founder and composer Paul Thomson to Fanshawe’s incredible archive containing over 2000 hours of recordings. Handpicked by the Spitfire team, delve deeper into some of the most rare and distinctive sounds and loops you will ever hear, rich in history, character and emotion, from a range of cultures and communities, many of which no longer exist. Fanshawe’s recordings have been used in massive film scores, from Seven Years in Tibet to Gangs of New York, and are now ready to empower and enhance your next score.
