A workstation focused on orchestral instruments, ensembles and choirs
Philharmonik™ is a powerful integrated Orchestral Workstation combining the legendary Miroslav™ Orchestral and Choir sample collection masterpieces with a dedicated plug-in instrument specifically tailored toward classical sounds and arrangements.
Includes the legendary Miroslav Vitous orchestra and choir collections
Miroslav™ orchestral samples are some of the most playable and inspiring sounds ever produced for symphonic arrangements and composition. They've marked the atmosphere of hundreds of movies and productions and have become the tool of choice for many Oscar® winning composers. Contains some of the most beautiful and lush sounding orchestral samples ever recorded
Never before has so much feeling and emotion been captured in orchestral sampling. Miroslav was able to bring out the rich character of symphonic music with a special sound that is unique and powerfully expressive.
True acoustic placement within the Dvorák Symphony Hall
For incredible acoustic realism, the string, brass and woodwind sections have been captured in the proper acoustic orchestral positions in one of the most famous symphony halls in the world, the Dvorák Symphony Hall in Prague. No need for simulation with panning, just call up the elements of the orchestra and instantly sound like a symphony. These sounds have a texture, warmth, and beauty that is unique in the sample world.
Philharmonik Features
The Miroslav Philharmonik’s plug-in is based on an enhanced version of the SampleTank workstation architecture, offering 16 multi-timbral parts, with full control over the tempo and pitch of the sounds.
Each of the 16 multi-timbral parts can be loaded by selecting one of more than 1,200 orchestral instruments included in Philharmonik. All of the instruments can be easily found in neatly organized folders within the browser window.
Miroslav Philarmonik’s multi-timbral parts can also be saved as combi ensembles, allowing you to load an entire orchestral set with one click.
Each part also offers 4 insert effects, which can be selected among 20 high-quality classical-oriented effects, for creative sound design and arrangements.
Additionally, each part also offers up to 50 sound shaping controls, for maximum flexibility over sound sculpture.
Exclusively, Miroslav Philharmonik also offers a master effects section with individual parts’ send capability. These can also be selected among the 20 built-in effects.
Another unique Miroslav Philharmonik feature is the inclusion of a high-quality master reverb in its list of 20 effects, with an easy to use version of IK’s new CSR, Classik Studio Reverb.
Also included are IK’s other award-winning effects, like the warmth of the analog EQ and compressors derived from T-RackS and AmpliTube. These included effects are perfect for obtaining that smooth orchestra sound.

Dvorak Symphony number 9 - New World Symphony 5.5 MB
All Miroslav Philharmonik demo songs by Dave Kerzner and Davide Barbi, entirely constructed using Miroslav Philharmonik sounds and effects.
“This is one of my favorite pieces of music, the fact that Miroslav recorded the sounds in the Dvorák Symphony Hall made it all that much more appropriate to be the first demo. It was two instances of Miroslav Philharmonik, in Cubase SX3. One of the great things about Philharmonik is that it is both one of the fastest tools for recreating a symphonic arrangement, yet it has a good variety of different articulations and performance variation to allow one to spend more time to recreate many of the subtle nuances of a real orchestra.”
-David Kerzner, founder of Sonic Reality Live Miroslav Philharmonik Combi 3.3 MB
“Miroslav Philharmonik is an orchestral workstation that is designed to work like hardware keyboard workstations. You have single sounds that you can arrange with multi-timbrally, and then you have unique and powerful combi sounds which are like interactive orchestral layers that respond to your playing as if you were the conductor of a live orchestra. This demo is a combi sound improvised and played live once on a single track without any overdubbing. Listen for all the variations in timbre and dynamics that can happen with just one combi sound in Miroslav Philharmonik. It is a lot of fun using multiple controls, such as mod wheel, expression pedal, velocity, aftertouch and different ranges of the keyboard to bring in and out the various elements of an orchestral layer combi.”
- David Kerzner, founder of Sonic Reality Movie Soundtrack Demo using Miroslav Philharmonik 2.3 MB
“Here is an excellent example of just one of the many uses of Miroslav Philharmonik for film scoring and movie soundtracks. The respond to midi control is paramount for creating expressive and moving arrangements in order to convey an emotional quality to the music.”
-David Kerzner, founder of Sonic Reality JS Bach, Orch. Ste2, BVW 1067 in Bminor-Badinerie 2.1 MB
“Another great example of what you can achieve by using Miroslav Philharmonik. For this demo song there was heavy usage of articulation switching to achieve a very realistic effect, especially on solo strings.”
- Davide Barbi, IK senior audio engineer
