Native Instruments releases new multi-artist video on Stems


Berlin, June 21, 2016 – Native Instruments today released a new video that features internationally renowned DJs, producers, and live performers from genres of all kinds sharing their thoughts on DJing and the Stems multi-track open format.

Featured in the video, Soulection head and Apple Beats 1 radio host Joe Kay, techno DJ-producer UNER, Octopus Recordings owner SIAN, Diynamic’s Stimming, Drum and bass ambassador Riya, DJ-Producer duo Cocodrills, and 50Weapon's Phon.o all discuss why they have turned to Stems to evolve their sound, and how the new open format is introducing all new ways to perform in the digital age.

Stems is Native Instruments’ multi-track format for DJing. Since the new format was announced on March 2015, Stems-ready TRAKTOR hardware, enhanced TRAKTOR software support, and thousands of official releases on a growing repertoire of labels have contributed to its expansion.

IK Multimedia releases Orchestral Percussion for Miroslav Philharmonik 2 and SampleTank 3

Now modern classical arrangers, film composers and pop musicians can incorporate the sounds of the most realistic master percussion tools available into their music and compositions

June 21, 2016 -
IK Multimedia is pleased to announce the release of Orchestral Percussion, the master percussion add-on instrument collection for Miroslav Philharmonik 2 and SampleTank 3 that contains over 45 symphonic percussion instruments, 3GB of sample content, more than 400 audio loops and over 100 MIDI files.

Orchestral Percussion takes traditional percussion instruments to a whole new level of realism, playability and audio quality. Users will get the majesty of full-range, dynamic timpani, the stirring power of a massive 36" gran cassa orchestral bass drum, the unmistakable punctuation of symphonic chau gongs and piatti cymbals. Also included are the ultra-stylized articulations of three different classical snare drums along with flexible variations of sleighbells, tambourines, triangles, castanets, bell tree and more, performed with multiple round robins and recorded with pristine audio fidelity.


Orchestral Percussion is the sequel to IK's much-acclaimed Cinematic Percussion Instrument Collection that is now being used on film, TV and pop productions the world over. Specific instruments were chosen for Orchestral Percussion to perfectly complement the Cinematic Percussion set with no redundancy or overlap. Like Cinematic Percussion, IK again enlisted master percussionist Greg Ellis, known for his work on countless Hollywood blockbuster films, to perform the more traditional classical instruments of the Orchestral Percussion Instrument Collection. Musicians should use the two collections together for an unrivaled treasure chest of percussion resources.
