Miroslav Philharmonik Orchestral Plug-In from IK Multimedia

(Click for a close-up)

IK Multimedia used the 2005 Winter NAMM show to debut Miroslav Philharmonik, an integrated orchestral workstation combining the legendary Miroslav Orchestral and Choir sample collection with a dedicated plug-in instrument specifically tailored toward classical sounds and arrangements. For the first time this complete symphonic collection is available as a virtual instrument plug-in for a fraction of its original price.

The sound designers at Sonic Reality and IK Multimedia have made a great effort to preserve and bring out the finest qualities of the original orchestra and choir collections, and to add many previously unreleased samples. With the advent of IK's STRETCH engine and other features, Miroslav Philharmonik offers enhanced realism for orchestral performances with real-time glissando, pitch bends, performance-based time-stretching and more.

A number of performance articulations are included: Strings with Vibrato, No Vibrato, Mute, Detache', Pizzicato, Staccato, Sul Ponte, Sul Ponte Tremolo, with various speeds and multiple velocities for the ultimate expression. Woodwind and Brass Ensembles feature the same attention to detail as the strings with both solos and ensembles. The incredible choir section includes sustained vowels in multiple dynamics, plus, Brumendo, Espressivo and Staccato including oohs, ahhs, mms and more.

Miroslav Philharmonik offers 16 multi-timbral and layerable parts, 3 synth engines including STRETCH, built-in DSP effects, 256 note polyphony, and more. It works as a plug-in for every major platform on Mac and PC.

The product can be used to expand your SampleTank 2 sound system. Miroslav Philharmonik sounds are compatible with the SampleTank 2 sample workstation environment.
