London – 9th July 2026 – Splice, the music creation platform used by millions of artists and producers worldwide, today announced Spitfire Audio’s release of four new Originals libraries – Emotional Cello, Intimate Brass, Intimate Woodwinds, and Crystal Keys – alongside the full-fidelity upgrade of 17 existing Originals titles.
Splice INSTRUMENT is a playable plugin with thousands of world-class instruments from Splice and Spitfire Audio, with 20+ libraries are immediately playable for Splice INSTRUMENT subscribers ($12.99/month), as well as available as perpetual purchases at £29/$29/€29 each from spitfireaudio.com.
Recorded at AIR Studios’ Lyndhurst Hall and Spitfire Studios, and performed by hand-picked players, the four new titles extend the popular Originals range into territory it hasn’t explored before – from delicate, breath-textured brass and woodwinds to a virtuosic solo cello and an otherworldly instrument built from chromatically tuned glass rods.
Like every Originals library before them, these are real instruments in world class recording studios, offering the same commitment to sound that underpins the flagship catalogue, in a form that’s immediately usable and expressive from the first note.
THE FOUR NEW LIBRARIES
Originals Emotional Cello
Created in collaboration with London-based cellist Reinoud Ford, Emotional Cello captures the full expressive range of the solo cello, from tender lyricism to visceral dread. Eleven techniques span delicate Flautando to experimental Circular bowing and No Rosin textures, across three bespoke mic signals – Close, Room, and an analogue-treated Vintage signal – for an upfront, characterful voice.
Originals Intimate Brass
Delicately recorded in Lyndhurst Hall at AIR Studios, Intimate Brass is built for restraint, not power. A custom quartet of Tuba, Euphonium, Tenor Trombone, and Flugelhorn feathers in and out of warm, subtle articulations, capturing gentle swells and textures that make the listener lean in. Three signals (Close, Mix, Vintage) let you dial in the perfect tone. Pair with Originals Intimate Woodwinds and Intimate Strings for a complete intimate orchestral section.
Originals Intimate Woodwinds
Intimate Woodwinds is a curated ensemble of Bassoon, Bass Clarinet, Clarinet, Alto Flute, and Flute, also captured at Lyndhurst Hall, AIR Studios. From gentle pastoral underscore to fragile, barely-there atmospheres – these gentle whispers are perfect for scoring emotive moments on screen. Recorded in the same hall as Intimate Brass and Intimate Strings, the three libraries are built to sit together.
Originals Crystal Keys
The titanium euphone is a contemporary instrument made up of chromatically tuned glass rods, played by rubbing them with wet fingertips. The result is otherworldly. Crystal Keys captures both the raw acoustic instrument and a series of Warps – processed sounds that reshape it from angelic shimmer to horror-film dread – across nine presets and six bespoke signals. Previously available only with Kontakt Full as Titanium Euphone, Crystal Keys now runs natively in the INSTRUMENT plugin. Instant character for horror, sci-fi, ambient and screen work.
17 EXISTING ORIGINALS UPGRADED TO FULL FIDELITY
Alongside the four new titles, 17 existing Originals libraries have been relaunched at full fidelity on Splice INSTRUMENT.
Every library now features full mic signals, complete preset lists, and Spitfire’s redesigned interface, with refreshed artwork and a mixer for blending close, room, and Vintage mic signals. The upgrade arrives at no extra cost for existing owners and deepens the INSTRUMENT catalogue of pro-grade virtual instruments.

All four new Originals libraries – Emotional Cello, Intimate Brass, Intimate Woodwinds, and Crystal Keys – are available now at £29/$29/€29 each as perpetual purchases from spitfireaudio.com.
