IK Multimedia announced Miroslav Philharmonik 2

[dsan@mail.com]

Actually, I'm more impressed the longer I mess with it. More so than those IKM demos suggest.

I think I will get some use from it in my works. It may not make full scores, due to what the content is (and don't take that the wrong way - anybody - libraries have limitations), but it does have a lot going for it.

I'd say get off the fence Blue Phase Music, if you have the budget.

@ TrekStar - I love to help you out but I can't get KVR to accept a wav or mp3 and I have no other way to give you a sample. Sorry

Still on the fence on this one. I'm tempted, but I'm not looking for it to be a permanent solution, which is why I'm questioning. I would like some somewhat decent strings sooner rather than later, though.

Personally, I wouldn't buy it if I knew it wasn't going to be a permanent solutions, especially if it's mainly for the strings. I love Miroslav 1, but the strings aren't great.

Could you please tell if there will be a demo of "Miroslav Philharmonik 2" before December 31st?

Try moving the installer and sound content folder to a minimal path. The file names become too long when the path is deep.

I moved the installer folder to the desktop to resolve the file name too long issue. Root folder would probably be even better.

That is, if you are on Windows.

I can't understand at all the way they did the installation. Dumb, just dumb. 16 downloads, 16 separate installations. Dumb, just dumb.

Thanks for that, I will try it later. Yes I'm on Windows.

Spoken to IK support and they said the manual copy I did would have installed it fine.

But I would like piece of mind that the installer works.

I wouldn't count on it since there isn't one now and I have no information about one to share.

Quel dommage! (What a pity)
I would really like to know how the strings attack behaves.
I almost never could use the strings in version 1 because a fast attack is always combined first with a volume decrease, only after the attack phase the volume increases to his normal level.
This behaviour makes it difficult for me to use Miroslav 1 strings.
I am wondering if version 2 inherits from this behaviour.
The audio demos do not clearly show for me how the attack behaves.

The strings are definitely a focus, taking up more than 20 GB of the whole library, so I haven't tested them thoroughly yet, but I can test whether it's possible to use the strings with a really fast attack.

PM sent teacue, in case you're watching this thread.

I checked - between the "attack" and "start" macro controls, even unrealistically fast attacks are possible.

For better or worse, I went for it. I only had to pay about half-cash as I had some Gear Credits, so it wasn't too bad.

Now I need to figure out where I'll install it. Can I choose where to install the samples, or does it automatically put them in hidden C:\ drive folders? I'm on Windows 10.

I have VERY little C:\ drive space left.

[dsan@mail.com]

You can specify where you want to install.

But I recommend placing the installers at your desktop to unRAR and install from.

Be sure to save the RAR's so you don't have to pay again for the sound libraries.

[DarkStar]

As far as I know you can install the library where you want; then select the sounds folder in MP2's Settings. The software itself (almost certainly) goes on the C:\ drive.

If you already have SampleTank 3 installed the MP2 library will go in the same place.

[Vintage73]

I don't have ST3, but as long as I know I can install where I want, I can take care of the rest.

Thanks!

Can someone send me the manual as well as some preview on how the samples sound?
