The keyboard cleverly displays the range of notes available for the selected instrument, and keyswitches appear in black. There’s a keyboard that remains at the bottom of the UI regardless of what page you’re on. You can’t edit individual samples, so think of this more as a ROMpler type of setup than a custom sampled Kontakt patch. Lastly, the Edit page allows you to tweak the sound itself (filters, LFO’s, ADSR’s). You’ve got a ton of effects you can add to instruments available here, many of which are based off T-Racks, CSR, and Amplitube effects. The Mix window is a DAW style console view. You can load up to 16 instruments per instance, and make all your adjustments without ever even leaving the Play page if you so choose.

You can do just about everything you’d need to from the Play window, which is where you’ll load up your sounds, do some basic editing of the patch if desired, and adjust the volume and pan. For better or worse, this is what an orchestral plugin would look like if Donald Trump were put in charge of designing it.įor those of you not familiar with the Sampletank paradigm (note: you can download the free Sampletank Custom Shop plugin to check it out), the interface is broken into three main pages: 1) Play, 2) Mix, and 3) Edit. Rather than a red and black appearance, the look here is gold and wood. If you’re familiar with the Sampletank interface, then you’ll immediately recognize that Philharmonik is essentially a re-skinned version of Sampletank.

Now that I’m done reliving the painful memory of the install process, let’s get to the fun stuff. A download manager could have prevented this, and a more detailed error message would have been more than welcome.

zip files myself, I eventually found the installer with the piano data and downloaded and ran it a second time (this time it worked). Must have been an error on the install, but because none of the installers are labelled and the error message doesn’t tell you which installer to run, I had no idea which installer needed to be downloaded again. If you live somewhere where internet speeds aren’t up to snuff or where your ISP caps your data, or if you’re just patient and can afford it, you may want to consider spending the extra $30 to have the USB stick mailed out to you.Īfter getting everything setup and authorized, I launched Philharmonik for the first time and almost immediately found that the piano failed to load. IK could (read: should) have made this process a bit less painful by creating a content/download manager to handle this process, but until that day comes, I’d suggest being prepared to set aside a day for this process and hoping for the best.

The downloads weigh in at a whopping 44GB. This is a big library, so if you opted for the download version, be prepared to spend several hours downloading and installing everything. Most instruments offer the option to load presets for individual articulations or “multi” versions which allow users to alternate between the articulation via keyswitches. Philharmonik 2 includes a wide variety of instruments covering everything in the orchestra, with instruments broken out into solo and ensemble sections. It sports a 58GB library, running on a re-skinned version of the Sampletank player that has been updated for 64-bit plugin hosts (there are no 32-bit versions of this plugin).
