PSA Miroslav Philharmonik 2 $100

[SymphonicDischord]

Just a heads up for everyone, the full Miroslav Philharmonik 2 from IK Multimedia is 80% off right now. That’s a lot of orchestra for $100 and I think you’d be hard pressed to find a more complete suite for that money.

hello,

does anyone know if this philharmonk 2 needs sampletank to run inside reason 10

or can we just load it into reason 10 as a vst?

Jesus! And this isn't the cutdown CE version either (I don't think). In the 2016 Computer Music review this was priced at €600.
I'm very tempted, but I've gotta stop spending money on plugins.

[littlejam]

hello,

i got it after watching a lot of videos about it
however, using firefox browser and/or internet explorer
i cannot download the source content
i can download the updates (9gb)

Anybody got anything to say about the included processors? Rotary. Tape echo. Etc.

Wow...what a pain to install all that crap...And my 2nd click made it close Reason completely. What a first impression of IK Multimedia products...

Although I feel your pain it’s good to know. Thanks Loque. Guess you didn’t buy it then?

Well, i am not the guy that trys much before he buys it

But i currently regret it a bit...In the 21st century i expect to have a mimum of a f*cking installer where i click my bought crap and it will be installed in the background. Not at IKM, you need to download a bunch of Zips and different authorization crap sh!t. This is a PITA. And crashing applications within first 10 seconds of usage is incredible...Probably the last thing i bought from them...I wrote already a ticket...only a good reaction and a quick fix can still hold a lil positive feeling for this company already.

Hear you on the buying without trying thing. I just watched a few videos and cash in hand was on my way to put it in thee JRRshop basket. Not good if it’s crashing Reason. Can you maybe post an update when you know more?

I will. The crash happened, when i clicked the "Settings" button. I currently download the 20 zip files for the sounds...oh dear... ... this is so 90s...

For Sampletank Max it's even worse: about 95 zips all with installers that you have to click through 4 times each. So to get it installed completely you will have to click 400+ times. That's just ridiculous. IK should really have a look at NI as NI really know how to make the install of huge sample libraries and virtual instruments painless to the customer.

Thanks for this warning! 400 clicks! LOL!

I might give this one a swerve. Seems you took a bullet for the rest of us here, guys.
VielGlück！ Alles Gute！

I'm taking back everything bad I ever said about the RE format...
400 clicks!

Things getting even worse, if you have a Mac and a Windows...the sample content is not shared and you need to download it separately. Makes for Miro Phil more than 100GB download and around 40 Zips. Are we the only guys that think this is not accaptable in 21st century? Nothing of this in the "review" stuff i watched...Maybe those ppl have a very high pain barrier.

Shoot me now!

[Loque]

OMG! They really want me to install everything each by its own

And after that i need to install sounds updates on top.

Oh dear...worst installation i ever seen in my life!


Oh yea....and first installation failed...oh dude...

[littlejam]

hello @Loque,

yeah, i was able to download and install the updates
i have tried 10 times to do everything you posted in your picture to download the content
thank you for that
i like having a saved copy of everything on a hard disk
it's time consuming, but i do think it is worth it
there's a video comparing reason orkestra with miroslav
and when the song switches from reason to miroslav
it is amazing, you can tell with your eyes closed

i'm jealous that you've downloaded the main content

hopefully will all go smoothly

i would also like to get the percussion set that goes with this
but it's 100$ for only 3gb of files
bummer

cheers,

j

[diminished]

You guys are taking one for the team.

[MrFigg]

You guys are taking one for the team.

They’re taking it in their stride too. Battling through. The thing looks totally great but a whole fucking load of work.

You NEED to download and save your sounds, because you cannot download again after 180 days...

Good luck!

PS: Still installing and copying and downloading...what a mess....And next problem: Filenames are too long This company is a joke - full of amateurs.
