Many instruments are now available in a second version: Timpani 2 (with up to eight velocities), snare drum 2 (up to 12 velocities, with and without snare), bass drum 2, field drum 2, tambourine 2, triangle 2, suspended cymbals 2, and a-due cymbals 2. Moreover, there are completely new instruments, such as concert toms, roto toms and Taiko drums.
As a novel feature, this Collection also contains production-ready instruments, processed with sought-after high-end studio equipment, put into the right perspective with multi-sampled convolution reverb from the Vienna Symphonic Library’s MIR development.
The basic percussion instruments (timpani, snare and bass drum, tambourine, suspended cymbals, a-due cymbals, glockenspiel, triangle, xylophone, tubular bells, tam-tam and concert toms) thus are not only available as samples with minimal reverb of the Silent Stage, but also with the reverb of the world-famous Wiener Konzerthaus in various stage positions. Naturally, these MIR impulses implemented in the samples just scratch the surface of the potential and flexibility of the future MIR engine; nevertheless, they offer a preview of its acoustic possibilities and allow the user to work quickly.
