Add Miroslav Philharmonik 2

[sbulen]

I was a little surprised to find Miroslav Philharmonik 2 .reabank files weren't out there anywhere. I've been using MP2 lately, & found myself making some. And once I got started, it made sense to complete the set; otherwise, I had to pause work every time I wanted to add an instrument.

These focus on MP2 for all strings, brass & woodwinds. They also work fine in SampleTank 3 & 4. ST4 is preferred. Not tested with MP1 or MP2 CE.

Each bank has a corresponding multi patch, which I've loaded into the Reaper stash: https://stash.reaper.fm/v/52569/Reaticulate_Miroslav_Philharmonik_2.zip

I tried to make each bank/multi as expressive & flexible as possible. This is a hybrid approach, mixing keyswitches & channels:

Most articulations are available via keyswitch, KS instruments. Some are available only as instruments (non-KS). Some are velocity-sensitive VS or looped LP instruments.

• Green icons: Select articulations via keyswitch.
• All KS instruments have a corresponding Reaticulate bank & multi.
• Where the KSs are identical, the same bank may be used, e.g., Ensemble Violins works for 14 Violins Multi as well as 14 Violins + 1st Multi.
• Blue icons: Select articulation instruments via channel.
• All VS instruments have a blue icon.
• Most LP instruments have a blue icon. (LP = looped - these play as long as the key is held.)
• Many expressivo instruments have a blue icon.
• Where possible, consistent channels are used for each category. This makes it easier to reuse items across similar instruments.

I have found that these MP2 multis can be loaded by MP2, SampleTank3 and SampleTank4. ST4, I think, is best, as it has better editing and FX and it runs properly in 64-bit hosts. They sound best in ST4, more lively.

Also, ST4 displays more accurate note ranges... MP2 & ST3 show notes as in range that they won't play (e.g., 1st trumpet solo port/legato). What's happening is that different keyswitches have different ranges; the ST4 UI reflects this, the older ones don't, & it's a little deceiving. It looks like keyswitches aren't working, when in reality, the notes went out of range for that keyswitch.
