I don't know. But apparently you can get all the seperate components (pips, thunderclaps, etc.) from David Lowe and arrange them however you like in a music editor.

He distributes the component instrument samples?
First I've heard of that. Would be interesting if he did though.

A lot of them are from a Roland sound module - which anyone can buy (providing Roland still sell the particular one David Lowe uses).
Here's a fairly current module which you can get for around a grand...
You would have to acquire the individual samples or plugins used by David and them arrange them to your liking; there's not really a single plug-in on its own that can 'generate' a BBC News-style piece.
Like the others above, I don't know how you'd go about getting the samples or finding out where they are sourced from; if anyone does have an idea, please step forward! It would be nice to know what to look for or where to go.
If down the line you're still stuck for the melody, I have an SF2 file for synthesized strings that sounds similar to its equivalent part, but that's it.
Lee from this forum made some quite spectacular BBC NEWS countdowns a couple of years ago using Garage Band...I wonder if he could let us know how...
It was GarageBand and a couple of their Jam Packs, can't remember which ones but they seem to have changed now anyway. Not only do you have to find the right sounds, you have to adjust lots of settings to get the sound right, even then you might have to make do with something thats not quite perfect!

OK. Thanks for your advice. (PS: I'm a Windows XP user.)
