And because of this, every instrument just seems to "fit. A key part of this are the articulations on offer, and the easy articulation switching system inside.
The strings, brass and woodwinds categories each have their own master key switching instruments that let you effortlessly switch between articulations from the keyboard while on the fly. You can also access single instrument articulations as individual instruments if you prefer to work without key switching. Articulations let you really bring your performances to life. In addition, the new mallet instruments have been recorded using different types of mallets for the utmost in sonic and tonal flexibility.
The new piano's soundboard has been modeled to facilitate a striking degree of acoustic realism. And, where appropriate, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 also takes advantage of round robin playback for an extra level of realism that provides multiple takes of the same note. No matter how you look at it, Miroslav Philharmonik 2's sounds offer an amazingly lifelike playing experience with power, passion and emotion that's unmatched by any other comparable library.
Right from the start, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 provides you with a lush piece string section with 14 violins, 8 violas, 5 cellos and 4 contrabasses.

This means that Miroslav Philharmonik 2 can do the more difficult articulations for you!
Bring your playing to life with masterfully played violin, viola, cello and contrabass. For absolute realism, each solo string instrument offers actual performances of scales, runs, trills, glissandos and legato passages.

This combination of articulations lets you create string tracks with unparalleled realism and feeling. Want some brass with power? Miroslav Philharmonik 2 comes with an piece brass ensemble that lets you add weight and majesty to any production.

Load the solo french horn key switching instrument to quickly go between sustained, portato, legato and staccato articulations all within a single part. 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.

This is one of the many reasons the instrument has a wide range of uses. Bass Clarinet This popular clarinet variation plays like the clarinet, only an octave lower. It is usually made of blackwood. It is tuned in Bb. Bass Clarinet Bassoon The Bassoon is double-reed instrument, the tenor of the oboe family, with a cone shaped body generally made of rosewood or ebonite.
It is very long more than 7 feet of tubing and it is folded in two for easier handling. It has a rich and deep sound character, especially in the bass register. Contrabassoon The Contrabassoon is a variation of the Bassoon. It is longer 16 feet and tuned one octave below the bassoon. It is the bass of the Oboe family. These are wind instruments made out of metal with either a cup- or funnel-shaped mouthpiece.
The pitch is determined by the length of the tube. Notes are produced by closing valves or moving a slide. This changes the length of the tube, shortening or lengthening the air column vibrating in the tube, producing different pitched sounds. The modern trumpet has more than 4 feet of tubing wrapped into a compact shape. It has three valves and a cylindrical bore ending with a bell shaped aperture. The standard orchestral trumpet, built in B-flat, has a range of about three octaves It has both a piercing, brassy sound and a soft, muted sound.
Flugelhorn The flugelhorn is a valved bugle developed in Germany. It has a conical bore. The design pitch is typically middle C or B-flat. The flugelhorn has a mellower sound than the trumpet. Modern French horns have three valves which lower the pitch a semitone, a tone, and three semitones minor third and the design pitch is generally in F.
It is a very expressive instrument, capable of producing a large variety of sound. It has 9 feet of tubing and a cylindrical bore. The slide is made from one tube tightly fitted over another.
There are two kinds of trombones. The Tenor member usually simply called Trombone and the Bass Trombone. The trombone is the one used in orchestras unless a lower sound is needed. The tone produced is rich and mellow.
It was designed to fill an urgent need in brass bands for a satisfactory bass to the valved bugle. The Tuba, has 13 feet 9 inches of tubing wrapped in the body, with four or five valves. It is usually played standing upright and it is used in the orchestra to reinforce the harmony with its a full, rich and powerful tone. Percussion instruments can therefore divided into two categories: Tuned defined pitch , Untuned undefined pitch.
The glockenspiel is typically played with mallets, producing a high-pitched sound that is bright and penetrating. Celeste A Celeste looks like a small upright piano, however it consists of a glockenspiel-like xylophone which is struck when a key is pushed. Its tone is delicate and ethereal. Vibraphone Celeste Vibraphones belong to the Xylophone family which includes instruments with wood or metal bars that are played with mallets.
The vibraphone has two rows of bars, arranged like piano keys with tubular resonators below each bar, with lengths varying according to the pitch of the note.
Vibrations from the bars resonate as they pass through the tubes, which amplifies the sound. The range of the instrument is usually four octaves.
Marimba The orchestral marimba is pitched an octave lower than the xylophone, with bars made of wood. It has a mellow tone. Crotals Bells with body entirely closed and hollow, with a metal pellet inside. Vibraphone Cowbell A thin walled iron bell mounted on a frame, without its clapper removed, used as an orchestral percussion instrument, often to mimic the dry sound of bells worn by animals.
Tubular Bells Tubular bells are sets of tuned metal tubes made of brass with different lengths, suspended vertically from a large metal frame. The tubes are arranged similar to a piano keyboard. Each bell is struck with hammers on the top part.
They are provided with dampers operated either by hand or by a pedal connected to the damping bar. Gong Gong The gong is a percussion instrument shaped like a disk.
It is made of hammered metal, like bronze, and it may be made in various sizes, having either definite or indefinite pitch. Many gongs have a central dome, but some are flat.
Most also have a turned-down rim. Orchestral gongs have a diameter of at least 3 feet. Timpani The timpani has a round head stretched over a bowl-shaped shell. The shell is made of metal, usually copper, while the head is made of animal skin or plastic. They are made in various sizes and they are usually tunable and played in pairs. The head tension may be altered by means of a footpedal which actuates tensioning elements and it is played with mallets often doing hits, rolls and glissandi for a dramatic dynamic effect in the orchestra.
Aside from the manuals, or keyboards, which can be used to produce a note, there is also a pedal board. When a key or pedal is pressed, valves are opened and the compressed air is directed into the pipe associated with the key or pedal pressed. Some of the largest organs have more than a hundred registers. In the orchestra it is usually a soloist.
The grand piano has about strings for the 88 keys which span the frequency range
