Free Art Conductor
Spitfire Audio released a mini version of their BBCSO library called Discover. The cool thing is that the mini version is free for everybody. All you need to do is to go to their website and fill in a survey.

I really like the idea, especially because so many people are sitting at home right now. Alright, if you want the library straight away it costs you $50 or so but keeping in mind that this is the original BBC, it is a steal. And if you can wait, you pay nothing.
To support Spitfire's effort, I give to you Free Cubase Expression Maps and Logic Articulation Sets which you can use with the Discovery library. This special version is going to be free forever.
The Spitfire BBC library comes in three different variations. Templates for both the Core and Pro version are available as a part of the full version of Art Conductor. In difference to the key switches Spitfire used, our templates support interchangeable regions. In other words, if you upgrade from the free version to a bigger variation, the articulation changes you've made before keep working.

Thanks a lot for that:-), just ordered Spitfires BBC Discovery. Is there going to be and future compatibility for Miroslav philharmonic?

HI!
Waiting for the e-mail after filling the survey out, looks like a great library. As I do not have Cubase or Mac, is there a tool that cold convert it to Reaper or Samplitude/Acid?
Thanks!

Hey there! Thanks so much for your efforts, however like DJ Cro-G had stated, is there any way we can get this for other DAWs like ableton or Reaper?

I waited four days for BBC Discover, and then I couldn't wait anymore so I bought BBC Core. What a wonderful library. Will you be making an Expression Map for the core version sometime soon? I just tried out your Discovery map and fell in love right away! :)

Hey guys,
many thanks for all the kind words! If you have questions, please use the contact form. This way you get an answer in a day and not in a week ;)
#1 I'll see what I can do about the Miroslav lib but there are no immediate plans
#4 There is a home brew articulation system for Reaper but we do not support it. If they do something official, maybe we will
#7 Live has no articulation switching system, unfortunately
#10 We haven't announced it yet but if you buy today, you already get the Core maps :)

The guys over at Babylonwaves have single handedly saved me so much time and frustration with their articulation sets that every time I'm asked what one of my top best investments has been in this music career, I always say,"Babylonwaves." They have thoughtfully and carefully crafted such an incredible catalog of articulation sets for virtually every major sample library out there. It's a no brainer anyone going into film scoring or library music and has Cubase or Logic should pick this up! Anyway, you guys keep up the fantastic work and can't wait for new updates!!!

Does the BBCSO expression map in Babylon Waves 6 work for BBCSO Core.

Thanks a million!
I don't know why Spitfire don't link to this.
If (or more likely when) I upgrade, I will buy the paid version.
Thanks again...

Hey,
just bought the expression maps, I was wondering why there is only maps for swing more and not for swing, as they are actually very useful mostly in combination... bets Michael
