Spitfire BBC Symphony Orchestra Templates

Spitfire Audio's BBC Symphony Orchestra library is available in three editions, Discover (£49 or free), Core (£399) and Pro (£899).

We have created some Dorico project templates and playback templates for this library so that you can use it more easily in your projects in Dorico Pro, Elements or SE.  You will need Dorico 3.5 or later.

Downloads

BBCSO Discover Template (zip, updated 18th February 2021)
BBCSO Core Template (zip, updated 3rd March 2025)
BBCSO Pro Template (zip, updated 3rd March 2025)

Each zip file contains a project template, playback template and information file.

Changes

March 2025: added the SO Piano (Core and Pro) as optional additional templates in each download for people who have purchased those too.
May 2021: making playback of repeated notes in legato passages smoother using tweaks to the expression maps.  Details in the Information PDF in the zip file.
Feb 2021: adding the changes in BBCSO v1.2 update (see SpitfireAudio changelog for details)
