Spitfire BBC Symphony Orchestra Core
The mid-rung BBC Symphony Orchestra tier, running in Spitfire's dedicated player and serving as a capable film and game composition starting point. It's the practical entry into this orchestral collection for scoring work. Beat-makers and non-orchestral producers won't find much use here, given its orchestra-specific focus.
