17-08-05 / 23:05 : Miroslav Philharmonik : another orchestra ! (cjed)
This is definitively the "Symphonic libraries" year, IK Multimedia ships Miroslav Philharmonik, a library of 1300 instruments (7 Go total), including the usual orchestral instruments families, plus choirs samples. The patchs list shows their memory usage, that is lower than in Symphonic Orchestra Gold (hence the higher instruments count. Perhaps the sampling is not chromatic).

Miroslav Vitous, famous jazz bass player, is the creator of the original orchestral samples bank of the same name, that was the best in this area for years. These samples are well known for their warmth, despites a lower memory size.

When listening to the demos, it is obvious that the sounds have personnality and are fat, especially the strings ensembles (famous). Moreover the virtual instrument (derived from IK SampleTank) includes a specific reverb (Classik Studio Reverb), that leads to an incredible depth, in fact better than SO Gold's reverb trails. For now it is difficult to judge of the overall quality, as it would imply listening to demos from the same songs.

Until end september the introduction price allows a substantial save (from 499 down to 419 euros) ... however i won't be able to buy all of them !

Il y a même HALion String Edition 2 sorti récemment par Steinberg, 9 Go d'échantillons 24btis de cordes solo et instrumentales, le tout pour 399$. C'est dans l'air du temps, en effet ! Ceci dit, tout cela n'a pas l'air d'accroître la quantité - voire la qualité - d'oeuvres classiques (et je ne parle pas de BO de films :p)

Ah oui, je l'avais oublié celui là tiens ! :) Pas étonnant que ça aboutisse pas forcément, quand on voit comment on se prend la tête des heures avec ces softs pour un résultat très moyen. Les oeuvres classiques, c'est encore l'étape d'après, ça doit être quand même fantastique de savoir composer une symphonie directement sur une partition !
