The new orchestra with legendary soul
The most emotional orchestral collection ever
Strings that soar, woodwinds that dance, brass that commands — all expertly performed musical articulations for real music played by real musicians. From flowing legatos to animated pizzicatos, from aggressive spiccatos to elegant staccatos, from the most subtle pianissimo to the most triumphant fortissimo, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is a sweeping vision from a master artist 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 a true symphonic experience, you need instruments performed by the absolute best musicians articulated in just the right way directed by a producer and conductor who knows the fine art of making living, breathing samples. Miroslav Vitous pioneered the concept of a complete symphonic sample library for real composers, and now he has taken it to the next level.
Ecstasy. Passion. Joy.
Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is feeling. And it's feeling that you can t get with other orchestral collections. Musicians familiar with Mirsolav Vitous groundbreaking original library know what we re talking about. But if you ve never used Miroslav Philharmonik before, let's paint a picture in your mind of the particular kind of feeling that its instruments can conjure: It's the tension and mystery filling your love story set in the French Riviera with delicate tragedy. It's the punctuation and swelling background of passion in your next tear-jerking R&B ballad. It's that added dash of symphonic brilliance that turns your goth-metal anthem into the kind of cathartic experience that tops charts.
Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is all of these things and more. And it’s only possible because of its truly unique sound set. Unlike other libraries, its samples and sounds don t just recreate dry instruments. Instead, Mirsolav Philharmonik 2 turns you into a master conductor in control of a full symphony orchestra staffed by living, breathing human beings. So when you call on an instrument to play, you wont just hear a note — you'll hear all the passion, pain, joy, suffering, excitement and exhaustion of the musician playing that note. And you’ll get it immediately (no processing required).
And that's why Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is such a revolutionary orchestral collection. It's a sweeping vision — in the form of an elegant and easy-to-use software workstation — from a master musician that gives you immediate access to a cathartic depth and fluidity of human musical expression that's never before been heard in a software sample collection.
Miroslav Vitous
Masterfully recorded by a Master
Made in collaboration with legendary jazz bassist and sampling visionary, Miroslav Vitous, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 gives you a 55GB sound library withover 2,500 instruments sampled in glorious high-definition audio. Every instrument fits — they are made to play together and made to stand-alone: There are delicate strings, colorful woodwinds and majestic brass as well as enhanced versions of the instruments in the original core library.
Each of its instruments features multiple musical articulations played by real musicians with the kind of "live" feeling that only a master conductor can provoke. From flowing legatos to animated pizzicatos, from aggressive spiccatos to elegant staccatos and from the subtlest pianissimo to the most triumphant fortissimo, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 gives you the power to draw raw musical feeling and emotion from every note.
Miroslav Philharmonik 2 retains the spirit and musicality of the original Miroslav Philharmonik orchestral workstation used to produce countless major motion picture scores and compositions, and it takes the emotion and expression of the orchestral players to a new level of enlightenment, one that can only be called “magic” by it’s creator himself.
“…Thank the spirit of music for making this possible. This one plays music like magic. It was made for the music, not for the money and not for the hype.” – Miroslav Vitous.
Miroslav Philharmonik 2 provides fantastic solo and ensemble string, brass, woodwind, keyboards, percussion and other instruments in stunning stereo sound. Its easy-to-use articulations and full spread of over 30 high-quality effects and many advanced features — derived from SampleTank 3 and T-RackS — provide unmatched sonic sculpting capability that makes it as great a choice for your next classical arrangement or film score as it is for your next hip-hop song or metal ballad.

Spectacular sound
Compelling output requires spectacular input, an Miroslav Philharmonik 2 delivers in grand style. Miroslav Philharmonik 2 contains over 1,000 new instruments that build on the impressive library of the original. Miroslav Philharmonik 2 starts with over 45 GB of all new sample content covering strings, brass and woodwinds, both solo and ensemble, and with a deep treasure chest full of useful articulations of each instrument beyond the basic sustained, staccato and pizzicato.
In the established Miroslav style, these instruments are full of emotion and musicality and NOT static, generic acoustic instrument samples. With Miroslav Philharmonik 2, you get not only the sounds, but also the passion of a composer and his musicians who have spent their whole lives mastering their craft as living, breathing fine art.
Each of its instruments have been captured in glorious stereo audio at the prestigious CNSO Orchestra Studios in Prague, home of the Czech National Symphony Orchestra and a space that’s been used for recording by such legends as Andrea Bocelli, Ennio Morricone, Lalo Schifrin and, of course, Miroslav Vitous himself.
Each new sample has been expertly recorded and optimized for playback from a keyboard — they’ve all been hand edited and voiced by musicians so they retain that same emotional and musical characteristics and quality that made the original Miroslav Philharmonik such a mainstay classic.
Of course Miroslav Philharmonik 2 also contains all of the samples from the original Miroslav Philharmonik virtual instrument that provide additional strings, brass and windwinds but also choir, keyboard instruments, chromatic instruments and percussion. And all of the new instruments plus the original Miroslav Philharmonik instruments are SampleTank 3 compatible for seamless integration into your existing SampleTank music production workflow.
Effortless articulation
Each instrument type starts with one go-to instrument — a master key switching instrument — that most composers will reach for when building their compositions and arrangements. This instrument contains all of the most used articulations for the instrument type for use in a single part with all its articulations instantly accessible from the keyboard so you can switch articulations on the fly — from sustained to detache, staccato, legato, pizzicato or any number of other musical articulations without leaving the main instrument or needing to load individual articulations. (Of course, all the individual articulations are also available as separate additional instruments for composers who prefer to work that way instead!)
Instant editing with macros
Just like with SampleTank 3, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 provides 8 of the most musically useful controls in the form of “Macros” that let you quickly edit your sounds with speed and ease. These macro controls give you quick access to the most relevant parameters you need to easily tailor the sound of the instrument to fit your composition. Miroslav Philharmonik 2 also provides deep editing capability of all synth parameters in the “Edit” page for true sonic customization and advanced sonic sculpting.

Seamless integration
Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is based on SampleTank 3 technology.
