The big difference is that there seems to be more instruments and articulations and types of instruments in the Miroslav package.

Use your MIDI keyboard to play it (or use the mouse and play the on-screen keyboard or some of the keys on your computer keyboard work). There are combination presets that can save you the time of loading instruments on each track. Each slot can be assigned to any channel and panning and volume can be set. There are 16 channels/slots that you can load instruments into. The instruments are accessed via a stand-alone program or via VST, AU and I believe a few other plugin formats that I don’t use.

The instruments from Philharmonik 1 are also included in this program. There are new sounds and key-switching instruments are also provided. I can actually use it without having to pull out the magnifer. Based on the SampleTank 3 engine, the user interface is a thousand times better than the version reviewed below. Miroslav Philharmonik version 2 was released in December 2015. ![]()
