IK Multimedia Miroslav Philarmonik 2 (Boxed)

Strings that soar, woodwinds that dance, brass that commands, and a full symphony orchestra of sounds at your fingertips — all expertlyperformed with musical articulations for real music played by real musicians.

Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is a sweeping vision from a masterartist embodied in a new virtual instrument that brings the orchestra to life.It’s not enough to just have good recordings of classical instruments. For atrue symphonic experience, you need instruments performed by the absolute bestmusicians, articulated in just the right way, directed by a producer andconductor who know the fine art of making living, breathing samples.

MiroslavVitous pioneered the concept of a complete symphonic sample library for realcomposers, and now he has taken it to the next level.

Instead, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 turns you into a master conductorin control of a full symphony orchestra staffed by living, breathing humanbeings. So when you call on an instrument to play, you won’t just hear a note —you’ll hear all the passion, pain, joy, suffering and excitement of themusician playing that note. And you’ll get it immediately (no processingrequired). And that’s why Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is such a revolutionaryorchestral collection.
