The fast and free way to explore your scoring ideas
THE SCORE ELEMENTS is a free film scoring plugin that captures your ideas fast without taking them out of your hands. Play a chord and hear it fully orchestrated, then shape it as you go.

- No clutter or complexity – just direct access to premium orchestral textures and scoring tools.

Free Film Scoring Plug-in
Thirteen genre Stories, two ensembles, 40+ orchestral and cinematic instruments. Same engine as THE SCORE. Load a Story and play – for free.
From Thriller To Trailer
You’re rarely looking for a single orchestral instrument. You want the cue that fits the scene. The Score Elements offers thirteen Stories plus two Ensembles, each built for a specific genre with the perfect set of instruments, so you immediately start scoring from the mood you want.
WHAT YOU GET IN THE SCORE ELEMENTS
Load A Story And Play
The instruments are part of the Stories and Ensembles, so there is no separate layer or menu to dig through and no patches to build before making music. Just load a Story and play. You can then shape the sound in real time with the mod wheel and two keyswitch variations.
A Free Scoring Tool With Nothing Stripped Out
More than forty orchestral and cinematic instruments cover strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, synths, guitars, keys, choir, and world sounds.
This is a fully playable, editable Engine that lets you tweak any Story or Ensemble. You get a working scoring tool with nothing stripped out to justify the price. And it costs nothing.

PRO COMPOSERS ABOUT THE SCORE
THE SCORE ELEMENTS runs on the same engine as THE SCORE, the scoring toolkit trusted by composers working in film, television and music production. Here is what some of them say:
NEEDS A NEW, BETTER FITTING, IMAGE 😉
“Software like this really helps composers move things along a lot faster. Things like The Score are software you sit down with and think, we can use this sample bank, and it feels natural, it feels inspirational. That’s worth its weight in gold as a composer.”
Michael Keeney
Composer | Arranger | Producer
SNOW PATROL | FOY VANCE | VAN MORRISON | INXS
“What I absolutely love about THE SCORE is that it helps me fire my imagination into new musical directions. The library isn’t doing the work for me. It’s providing me with excellent tools and resources with which to explore and react with.”
Stephen Gallagher
Composer / Music Editor
LOTR – THE WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM | THE BEATLES: GET BACK | DISTRICT 9
“I was impressed by THE SCORE’s beautiful sound. The samples are lush and expressive.”
Beth Burnett
Composer
MURMURING RECORDS
“THE SCORE is an exceptional virtual instrument that I’ve incorporated into my compositions over the past few months. Both the Ensemble and Lead features have proven to be incredibly valuable tools in my workflow.”
Dean Landon
Composer / Songwriter / Producer
