PRESS RELEASE

IK Multimedia Ships Miroslav Philharmonik Classik Edition

March 23, 2007

IK Multimedia is pleased to announce that Miroslav Philharmonik™ Classik Edition, the introductory version to the highly popular virtual instrument orchestral plug-in, is now shipping. Based on the classic Miroslav Orchestra sample collection masterpiece, Miroslav Philharmonik CE is a complete orchestral instrument that any musician can afford.

A complete and full-featured orchestral virtual instrument covering solo instruments and ensembles
With 250 orchestral sounds spanning the entire orchestra in 1.5GB of samples, Miroslav Philharmonik CE is one of the best-sounding orchestra sound modules at a price that is affordable for any musician.

Miroslav's sounds have a musicality and playability rarely found in other orchestral sample collections. There has never been a body of work that has captured the same depth and beauty of real players putting feeling and emotion into the samples quite like the collection assembled by Miroslav Vitous. A highly accomplished musician (one of the founding members of the band Weather Report), Miroslav knew how to bring the most musical aspects of the instruments and players together in a sample collection.

Beautifully sampled in the historic Dvorák Symphony Hall with true spatial positioning
Because Miroslav sampled the orchestral ensembles in their correct spatial acoustic positioning within the Dvorák Symphony Hall in Prague, one of the best-sounding halls in the world, the sounds fit together when layering or multitracking like a high-quality classical music recording. This gives the sounds of Miroslav Philharmonik CE an especially rare acoustic quality and realism that is unmatched in the sample world.

For the first time, a selection of this award-winning material is available at a price that any musician can afford. Miroslav Philharmonik CE offers almost the same instrument range as the full-version product, but with fewer articulations and performance patches, at a much lower price. This makes Miroslav Philharmonik CE ideal for users that approach an orchestra module for the first time.
