THE STRING SECTION

1st Violins

1 ST VIOLIN SECTION
Usually the largest of the String sections, with the widest expected range. They sit to the left of the conductor and their principal player is referred to as the Orchestra `leader’.

2nd Violins

2 ND VIOLIN SECTION
Exactly the same instruments as the 1st Violins, but in a slightly more `supporting’ role. These players are situated to the right of the 1st Violins, and the left of the Violas.

Violas

VIOLA SECTION
Similar in shape, but much larger in size than a Violin. These sit straight ahead and slightly to the right of the conductor. They often play the simpler more `pedalling’ harmonic lines.

Celli

CELLO SECTION
Arguably the most versatile of the String instruments, with a huge range from very low to heartbreaking highs. They sit to the right of the conductor and in front of the Basses.

Contrabasses

CONTRABASS SECTION
Huge and monstrous instruments that sit to the right of the conductor and behind the Cellos. These all had the low C extension, hence the range.

BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA DISCOVER 15 USER MANUAL

THE BRASS SECTION

Horns a4

FRENCH HORNS
Available as a4, Horns are the most stately and noble of the brass family - similar in range and timbral diversity to the cello. Many would say that Horns are the principals of the brass choir.

Trumpets a3 E3

TRUMPETS
Available as a3, the Trumpets are the highest member of the Brass family. From plaintive and anthemic solo lines in it’s mid range to blistering mariachi up in the top. Great in octave unisons with the Horns!

Trombones a3 G1

TENOR TROMBONES
Available as a3, the Tenor Trombone is a deeply versatile Brass instrument. Providing plenty of warmth and depth when played in the lower dynamics, and rasping tones in the higher.

Bass Trombones a2 E1

BASS TROMBONES
Because of it’s different bore size, the timbre of the Bass Trombone differs from the Tenor. Great for lower passages, but also in unison blend with the Tenor.

Tuba D1

TUBA
It doesn’t get more noble than a Tuba. From super fat bottom end and chocolatey harmonic potential, to a rasping lion from the depths of hell.

BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA DISCOVER 16 USER MANUAL

THE WOODWIND SECTION

Piccolo D5

PICCOLO
The Piccolo is a half sized Flute that plays an octave higher than written. The loudest and highest instrument in the orchestra, can cut through an entire orchestra with ease!

Flutes a3 B3

FLUTES
Available as a3, the C Flute is massively dynamic and versatile. Suitable for carrying sweet and lyrical melodies, or within section work. Try in unison with your 1st Violins!

Oboes a3 B3

OBOES
Available as a3, the Oboe is a double-reed instrument that is less dynamic than other Woodwind cousins. It’s a beautiful lyrical instrument with `period’ connotations, and also works great as a bright section texture.

Clarinets a3 D3

CLARINETS
Available as a3, the Clarinet is a single reed instrument with a very regal tone. When used solo it can have a very period drama sound to it.

Bassoons a3 Bb1

BASSOONS
Available as a3, the Bassoon is yet another versatile instrument that is often painted into a staccato comedy corner. As Stravinsky proved with “The Rite of Spring”, it can be hauntingly melodic.

BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA DISCOVER 18 USER MANUAL

TECHNIQUES

LONG

The most vanilla of the long notes that we record, a standard sustained note. This is the basic playing style, recorded both with and without vibrato.

SPICCATO/STACCATO

This technique can vary! For us, our Spiccato aim to capture a very nice `tight’ sound, with the bow bouncing off the string. This creates a sound that can be used either as a nice short staccatissimo, but also as a sequence of fast short notes or an ostinato. Of course Spiccato only applies to a String instrument, and any Brass or Woodwinds will be using Staccato instead.

PIZZICATO

Plucking the strings with the finger.

TREMOLO

A tremolo is where a player rapidly moves the bow whilst keeping the left hand on the same notes. The effect is a shimmering one when played soft, and a very aggressive and tense sound when played loud.

Q: I WANT TO RESET MY BBC SO SETTINGS TO THE DEFAULT

You can delete the BBCSymphonyOrchestra. settings file to reset the settings to default. This is located at Users/username/Music/ Spitfire Audio/Settings on a Mac and C: UsersusernameAppDataRoamingSpitfire AudioSettings on a PC.

Q: MY LIST OF PRESETS IS EMPTY, HOW DO I SOLVE THIS?

If you have moved your BBC Symphony Orchestra Library folder, you can solve this problem by using the “Locate Library” feature in the Spitfire Audio App.

If this does not solve the problem, the library likely needs reauthorising, to do this, use the “repair” feature in the Spitfire Audio App.

Q: I SEE A RED EXCLAMATION MARK IN THE TOP LEFT OF BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

This means that there is an error, you can click the exclamation mark to open a log with further details. It is likely that using the “Repair” and “Locate Library” features in the Spitfire Audio App will solve the problem but if not, contact our support team at spitfireaudio.com/support and attach the log.

Q: CAN I INSTALL ON MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER?

With our products you have two licenses. This means that you are allowed to download and install on two computers you own, say your main rig and your mobile rig. If you have purchased the library on a hard drive, you should copy the contents of the drive on to the destination machine before completing the download with the Spitfire App. If you downloaded BBC Symphony Orchestra, you can copy the library folder over to the second machine and then use the “Repair” and “Locate Library” features in the Spitfire Audio App.

Q: I CAN’T SEE THIS IN THE KONTAKT LIBRARIES PANE AND WHEN I TRY AND LOAD IT INTO KONTAKT IT SAYS NO LIBRARY FOUND

This library does not run in Kontakt, it is a standalone plug-in that you can run in your chosen DAW.

Q: HOW DO I AUTHORIZE BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ON A MACHINE NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET?

BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA DISCOVER 20 USER MANUAL

It is currently not possible to authorise BBC Symphony Orchestra on a machine not connected to the internet. Authorisation is done with the Spitfire Audio App and an internet connection is required.

Q: HOW CAN I REDOWNLOAD A PRODUCT?

This can easily be done via your Spitfire Audio App. To reset both your entire library download or the latest update;

Open up the Spitfire Audio App and log in with your account email and password.
Select the product artwork you wish to re-download
On this page is a “cog wheel”. Select this, choose “reset” from the menu. Then “Reset Entire Download” (for a full download) or (Latest Update) for the latest update.

This will reset your latest update ready for install again. You can repeat this process for any of the libraries you own.

Note that there is a limit to how many times you can reset your downloads in a certain time frame. If you do exceed your reset limit please get in touch.

Q: DIFFICULTIES IN DOWNLOADING / INSTALLING

Customers may find that they have some difficulties in the downloading process. If you find that you are having some trouble, please check the list below for possible causes:

The formatting of your drive, if it is FAT32 this will cause errors, because there is a maximum file size with this format of 4GB and our download files will exceed this limit. To solve this problem, reformat your drive or use a different drive. We recommend NTFS on PC and Mac OS Extended on Mac. Other possible issues:
Spitfire App freezes in the “Extracting” stage for hours. This may be because our libraries are often very large files, and this is the stage where the compressed files are extracted and placed in their final locations on the hard drive. There could be hundreds of GB of content to unpack, so it really can take hours. If you’re unsure whether it has crashed or is simply extracting files, visit the installation folder you chose when you started the install. If everything is working normally you’ll see various files appearing in the folder (or one of its sub-folders).
If your download gets stuck and is continually cycling and not resuming, please get in touch with us, giving us as much detail as possible about your set up. It would be helpful if you can tell us your operating system, where you are downloading from (your country, and also whether you’re at home or work), your ISP, and whether there are any proxy servers or firewalls between your computer and the internet.

Q: I HAVE FAST INTERNET, WHY IS MY DOWNLOAD SLOW?

We have no direct influence on your actual download speeds, our libraries are hosted on Amazon S3 servers which are normally very quick but it may well be that at certain times of the day when traffic is particularly busy, your ISP may throttle your connection speeds.

We would advise you to leave your download running overnight as speeds should ramp up at less busy times. Our Spitfire App downloader aims to use as much of the available bandwidth as possible to give you the quickest possible speeds, and may take several minutes to reach its peak.

Q: CAN I TRY BEFORE I BUY?

No – it is not currently possible to demo our products.

If you go to our Youtube channel you’ll see many many walkthroughs containing detailed info about all our products — you can hear them being played in real time with no smoke and mirrors!

Q: MY LIBRARIES ARE NOT SHOWING

BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA DISCOVER 21 USER MANUAL

UP IN MY SPITFIRE APP

A handful of customers may find that when they log into their Spitfire App, some of their previously purchased products do not show up in the Installed’ section or in theDownload Ready’ section either. It may be that you have purchased these under another email address. Checking other possible email addresses for your previous purchases may help to find these missing products. If this is not the case, and these missing products were purchased a few years ago, please create a support ticket telling us your account email address, and any serial numbers you may have to go with these missing products. Our support team can also merge one or more accounts together if you’d like to consolidate all your purchases in one place.

The more information we have, the quicker we can get you back up and running!

Q: HOW DO I UPDATE MY PRODUCTS?

The main premise of downloading our products is that our Spitfire App downloads into the folder you choose, so it is important to choose the folder above where you want the download to go. The best file path for our products is something very simple, a long file path will cause errors as there is a character limit on how far the Spitfire App can read. We advise a file path of something along the lines of: Samples Drive > Spitfire Audio

When it comes to downloading / updating – if you have a folder called `Spitfire Audio’ always point the Spitfire App to the folder Spitfire Audio – never go into this folder and choose the actual library in question.

Q: HOW DO I RE-DOWNLOAD THE LATEST UPDATE?

With the continuous improvements to our Spitfire Audio App, we have incorporated the ability to reset your own downloads. This can easily be done via your Spitfire Audio App.

Open up the Spitfire Audio App and log in with your account email and password.

Select the product artwork you wish to re-download
On this page is a “cog wheel”. Select this, choose “reset” from the menu. Then “Reset Entire Download” (for a full download) or (Latest Update) for the latest update.
This will reset your latest update ready for install again.

You can repeat this process for any other updates you wish.

If you do not see the option to reset your download in your Spitfire Audio App, we would advise to download the latest version of the Spitfire App from spitfireaudio.com/ info/library- manager/.

Q: I’VE BEEN WAITING AGES FOR MY DOWNLOAD LINKS…???

We run all our orders through a fraud checking process. The automatic fraud check takes 20 minutes (but can take up to an hour during a very busy period, eg. Black Friday), but if your order gets caught at this stage, we run a manual order check, and this can delay the processing of your order for up to 24 hours (though this would be a rare and exceptional case).

You should however receive an order confirmation email IMMEDIATELY upon placing your order. This confirms that your order has successfully been logged in our system and that your payment was successfully taken. Please check your junk folders before contacting our support. The message will come from do_not_reply@ spitfireaudio.com if you’d like to add us to your whitelist.

Q: CAN I DOWNLOAD ON A PC, THEN TRANSFER TO A MAC OR VICE VERSA?

Yes, you can copy the library folder and plugin files over to the second machine

BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA DISCOVER 22 USER MANUAL

and then use the “Repair” and “Locate Library” features in the Spitfire Audio App. Please note that although the majority of the download can be done on a separate machine, you will always need an internet connection to finish the authorisation process.

Q: HOW DO I DOWNLOAD PRODUCTS ON MAC OSX 10.9?

The version of the Spitfire App needed to install BBC Symphony Orchestra only supports Mac OSX 10.10 and upwards.

Q: I HAVE FOUND A BUG

In some cases we can’t squash them all and bugs shamefully make their way through. If you think you have found a bug, please contact us with all the relevant information;

A description of the bug you have found
A screencast (video) of the bug happening, or an audio example
The exact preset name (or presets) in question and also the library giving us as much detail as possible will help us get to the bottom of the issue.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR REFUNDS / RETURNS POLICY?

If you have NOT completed the download / installation process, and bought within 14 days then we CAN refund / return your product, please contact support with your account email address and order number so we can handle this quickly. If you HAVE completed the installation process (even if you’ve not yet registered your serial number), please see our EULA in regards to why we do not accept refunds and returns. We can refund hard drive orders up until the point when the drive is dispatched from our office. This is usually 1-2 days after you order.

Q: I’VE FORGOTTEN MY PASSWORD?

If you have forgotten your password, please see this link spitfireaudio.com /my-account/ login/, and click `Forgotten Password’. If at some point in the past you asked us to merge two or more accounts but have since forgotten, you MAY find that the forgotten password isn’t working for the email address you asked us to merge FROM. In this case, please contact support with your name, and any email addresses you think we might know about, and we’ll work out what has happened.
