Anyone use Ik Multimedias Miroslav philharmonic?

think i bought it in a no brainer deal a while ago on audiomidi.com but i havent used it loads but it comes in handy sometime, its not the best out there but depending on what price you get it for it could be good value, i think the no brainer was like £15 GBP not bad
 
I should have bought that, I remember seeing it!

I know it's a stripped down version of the full thing but I've heard some pretty cool stuff on YouTube of the full version.
 
i have the CE version and i haven't really been using it for a long time. the CE version is a lite version of the full product and it was that version in the nobrainer deal nialldoran mentions.

the sampletank 2 core it utilizes is very dated. there's no round robin or any of the other modern bells and whistles so it's a bitch to try to make it sound realistic. there were a couple of string multipatches that can sound alright, and i like a few of the church organ patches, but couldn't find much else that was of much use. however, for layering and pads for metal music, the choirs, strings and brass could work decently. wouldn't pay more than 20 bucks for it anymore though.
 
I think it's alright. It's definitely not really huge and epic sounding though. If you are looking for bombastic sounding epic orchestral parts then I wouldn't use it.
