AES Preview: Miroslav Orchestra Refills Coming

Sonic Reality has announced the Miroslav Refill Series: orchestral sound collections in Reason 3 refill format featuring the legendary symphonic samples of Miroslav Vitous. Each title is focused on a specific group of instruments and offers high-end orchestral and choir samples to Reason users at a very affordable price.

Each Miroslav Refill comes on a DVD and includes samples from the original Miroslav Vitous Symphonic library, plus additional articulations, ensembles and performance elements designed for use with Reason 3's Combinator module and NNXT sampler. The samples were recorded in the Dvorak Symphony Hall in Prague in their true spatial positioning.

The 6 Miroslav Refill titles for Reason 3 include:
