Known for his innovative approach to contemporary scoring, much of Hans Zimmer’s work embraces technology, combining the use of synthesisers and sampling alongside live players, in order to achieve his signature soundscapes. It’s with this in mind that sampling supremos Spitfire Audio have teamed up with Hans to offer a new package that’s on a truly grand scale.

Before we can get stuck in, we have to go through the download process – and that may take a while… With 183Gb to download, it took us a whole day for installation, although there is an option to purchase the library on a drive from Spitfire, so if you’re not blessed with the best download speed, this will certainly appeal.
Once installed, the first thing that you will notice is that this is not the usual Kontakt-based library - the format which Spitfire normally adopt - but a new bespoke plug-in which has been designed with the help of design and user experience agency, UsTwo.
