The first three are self explanatory, while Chromatic includes harpsichord, marimba, glockenspiel, chimes and vibraphone, and Piano is a concert grand. The new library is divided into five categories: Strings, Brass, Woodwinds, Chromatic and Piano. You'll also find ten orchestral multis (Full Orchestra, String Ensemble and so on), layering various instruments on one MIDI channel. The panel just above the keyboard toggles between showing the parameters of the currently selected insert effect and eight Macro controls, which put salient parameters for the current instrument at your fingertips. For multi- articulation instruments, articulations are switched via velocity (VS), key (KS) or mod wheel (MW) - this is indicated in the preset naming, so you always know what you're loading.
The new library includes solo and ensemble instruments and lots of articulations. Like SampleTank 3, it has integrated access to IK's Custom Shop, although any add- on sounds have to be used in SampleTank 3 (which comes with any Custom Shop purchase), as Philharmonik 2 can only load its own library. Altogether, it weighs in at 56GB on disk (6GB of which is the Philharmonik 1 library) and comprises over 2700 instrument presets. Philharmonik 2 retains all of v1's sample content and adds a whole new orchestral sample set.
Well orchestratedīy default, Philharmonik 2 installs its sound library into the SampleTank 3 folder, so if you also have SampleTank 3 installed, the Philharmonik 2 library automatically becomes available there, too, loading in ST3's standard interface. What you don't get, as expected, is any access to the underlying samples themselves.įurther SampleTank 3 features include Live Sets, for quickly selecting and loading sounds in a live performance setting, and 98 MIDI Pattern Presets, which can be triggered from single keys or dragged into the host DAW for playback and editing.
Importantly, there's also a dropdown Element/Articulation selector, which comes in handy when you're editing a preset containing multiple articulations.
