The best orchestral instrument
for musicians on a budget
Sounds too good to be true. (But it is.)
Get ready, it's your turn to step up to the conductor's podium to experience the most emotional orchestral collection ever released with Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE. When it comes to new sounds, variety, character and content size, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE beats every competitor.
Now you can command strings that soar, woodwinds that dance, brass that commands and a symphony's worth of sounds for a fraction of the cost of the full version. Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE is an affordable entry into legendary jazz bassist and sampling visionary Miroslav Vitous' lush new world of near-cinematic orchestral musical realism. It includes a 10GB library with 733 instruments spread out across all the instrument categories provided in the full version of Miroslav Philharmonik 2.
And just like in the full version, each of its instruments captures the uniquely human element that has made Miroslav Philharmonik 2 such a go-to tool for composers, soundtrack scorers, producers and more. It gives you all of Miroslav Philharmonik 2's multi-articulation switching instruments.
These instruments let you easily access the most used articulations for your chosen instrument type on the fly. You can go from sustained to detache, staccato, legato, pizzicato or any number of other musical articulations without leaving the main instrument. This means that when you select an instrument to play, you won't just hear a note — you'll hear all the passion, pain, joy, suffering and excitement of the musician playing that note.

Ensemble Strings
Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE provides you with a lush 31-piece string section with 14 violins, 8 violas, 5 cellos and 4 contrabasses.

For more complex orchestration, you can go deeper into the separate ensemble instrument sections for violins, violas, cellos and contrabasses.
Each section is available with multiple articulations.
Solo Strings
Bring your playing to life with masterfully played violin, viola, cello and contrabass.
Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE’s deep range of articulations lets you easily add human expressiveness and emotion to your compositions by choosing exactly the right articulation for the musical passage you are creating.
Switch between articulations on the fly or load dedicated single articulation instruments.
Ensemble Brass
Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE comes with an 11-piece brass ensemble that lets you add weight and majesty to any production.
In addition to the combined orchestral ensemble instruments, you get individual sections for trumpets, trombones, french horns, trombones and trombone with tubas. These give you the freedom to start arranging immediately without having to load multiple instruments.
The available combinations will allow to find just the right density for your ensemble sound, or use the ensembles as a way to jump start your creative process.
Solo Brass
Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE’s brass ensemble is pretty impressive, but a whole is only the sum of its parts: each individual brass instrument has been recorded by a top classical musician. You get solo trumpet, french horn, tenor trombone, bass trombone and tuba instruments that each come with their own wide range of articulations for maximum expression and tonal color. A single brass quintet instrument provides fast access to the full solo instrument range from tuba all the way up to trumpet, and then there are master key switching instruments for each solo instrument type. Load the solo french horn key switching instrument to quickly go between sustained, portato, legato and staccato articulations all within a single part.
Ensemble Woodwinds
Animated and colorful, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE’s 18-piece woodwind ensemble gives you a full palette of orchestral hues in the form of flutes, piccolos, clarinets, bass clarinets, oboes, bassoons, contrabassoons and English horns. A single instrument combines the ensembles across the full keyboard range for an orchestral woodwind ensemble, and like the brass, a concert band ensemble variation is also provided. Then for each section, there is a master key switching instrument that contains the primary articulations for each instrument. These options let you control single woodwind ensemble instruments in your arrangement at an incredibly detailed level.
Solo Woodwinds
Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE gives you incredible flexibility and power when it comes to solo flute, piccolo, clarinet, bass clarinet, English horn, oboe, bassoon and contrabassoon arrangements.
You get a woodwinds quartet and a quintet that are both available as master solo instruments. Then as with the other categories, there are master key switching instruments for each solo woodwind.
With these, you can have total control over all the solo woodwind instruments — with every available articulation — with just 8 parts!
Piano
The grand piano is an essential element of the modern symphony orchestra.
Our meticulously recorded stereo 9’ concert grand provides all the epic majesty, drama and richness that symphonic music demands.
With full-length samples, a deep matrix of velocity splits and soundboard modeling from the specific piano we captured, the Philharmonik Grand is ready to perform as both solo instrument and supporting cast member of the larger orchestra.
The Philharmonik Grand is also highly suitable for pop, jazz and other genres with its depth and quality.
Chromatic
Also referred to as tuned percussion, the Miroslav Philharmonik 2 chromatic instruments add punctuation, sparkle and color to any symphonic production.
The collection of mallet instruments includes a concert marimba, a glockenspiel and orchestral chimes from the new Miroslav Philharmonik 2 sessions along with vibraphone and harpsichord from the Miroslav Philharmonik 1 collection.
