Softsynths | Spitfire BT Phobos

Spitfire loves producing instruments and libraries for film scoring, and while BT Phobos is not one of the company’s traditional orchestral tools – it being the first synth the company has produced.

Phobos is a sample-based synth with a 23GB library.


It has sources, modifiers and modulation aplenty, but this is no ordinary instrument, by any means. At its heart is what Spitfire calls Polyconvolution Synthesis and like many other Spitfire Audio products, it’s aimed at soundtrack composers. So, orchestral scores no, out-there scores, yes…


We said: “It will appeal to a lot more than ‘just’ composers of sci-fi-orientated music. I’ve included it on a lot of old ideas and it has lifted each and every one of them on to new levels. The big atmospheres definitely have a place in space, but the little nuances and experimental aspects mean it can be applied everywhere and anywhere. It is simply excellent.”
