►背景

After years of experimenting, researching and soul searching, Spitfire finally turns its hand to the well trodden path of vintage electric pianos, organs and other curiosities.
经过多年的实验、研究和灵魂探索，喷火战斗机最终转向了老式电子钢琴、风琴和其他古董的老路。

“Could we make a difference?” we asked ourselves.
“我们能改变世界吗?”我们问自己。

By simply applying the Spitfire ethos to how we record everything else, with affluent abandon, we felt we could.

位于伦敦Kings Cross的Tileyard工作室，是欧洲同类工作室中最大的。

Among this melting pot of innovation and experience sits producer and engineer Simon Changer (Bjork, David Gray, Jamiroquai, Finlay Quaye) not only a talented force in his own right but an engineering magpie, who has built a studio from the finest fragments and polished jewels scattered citywide after the decimation of the London studio scene.
坐落在这熔炉的创新和经验生产国和工程师西蒙变换器(比约克,大卫·格雷Jamiroquai,芬利Quaye)不仅有才华的力量在自己的权利,一个工程喜鹊,他建立了一个工作室从最好的片段和抛光宝石分散全市大量毁灭后的伦敦演播室的场景。

Welcome to N7 studios.
欢迎来到N7工作室。

This was our first port of call for the finest, but most pristinely maintained unique signal paths in London today.
这是我们第一个停靠的港口在伦敦最好的，但最原始的维护独特的信号路径。

A long time collaborator of Simon and partner in the North 7 Vintage Keys project is Sean Hargreaves (Ella Eyre, Natalie Imbruglia, Michael Buble, Alison Moyet, Trevor Horn) a keyboard wizard and producer, but no lesser Magpie than Simon.
西蒙的长期合作伙伴和North 7 Vintage Keys项目的合作伙伴是肖恩·哈格里夫斯(Ella Eyre, Natalie Imbruglia, Michael Buble, Alison Moyet, Trevor Horn)，他是键盘精灵和制作人，但喜喜之人并不比西蒙少。

For Sean has one of the most pristinely maintained collections of classic keyboard instruments that we know of.
据我们所知，肖恩收藏了最原始的古典键盘乐器。

We charged them with the task of creating the definitive collection of classic work-horse 1960s and 70s keyboards;
我们让他们完成了一项任务，那就是创造出20世纪60年代和70年代的经典键盘;

The ‘Spitfire Electric Piano’, a not-for-the-superstitious ‘Electric Clavichord’, a Stage Piano, and the rare Electric Keyboard Bass (made famous by Ray Manzarek of The Doors in the absence of a full time bassist) this one dating back to 1962 with a serial number of 000463!
“喷火电钢琴”，一个不迷信的“电击弦钢琴”，一个舞台钢琴，和罕见的电键盘贝斯(使著名的Ray Manzarek的门在没有一个正式的贝斯手)，这可以追溯到1962年，序列号为000463!

► SPITFIRE ELECTRIC PIANO or “EP”
SPITFIRE电动钢琴或“EP”

Arguably the most successful work-horse electric piano of the 1960s and 70s.
可以说是上世纪六七十年代最成功的电动钢琴。

This 73 note instrument generates sound using keys and hammers in the same manner as an acoustic piano, but instead of strings, the hammers strike thin metal tines, which are then amplified via an electromagnetic pickup.
这种有73个音符的乐器和原声钢琴一样，用琴键和锤子发声，但锤子敲击的不是弦，而是细金属尖，然后通过电磁拾音器放大。

Our favourite exponents of the instrument would be Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Bob James, Richard Tee, Joe Zawinul, and Chick Corea, whilst appearing on countless classic Jazz Funk, RnB, Pop and Rock (possibly most famously with its use on The Doors’ “Riders On The Storm”) tracks throughout the 1970s, not to mention a plethora of pulpy,
我们最喜欢的乐器是赫比·汉考克的指数,史提夫·汪达、鲍勃·詹姆斯·理查德•三通乔Zawinul,奇客,同时出现在无数的经典爵士恐慌,RnB,流行和摇滚(可能是最著名的使用在门上的“风暴”骑手)跟踪整个1970年代,更不用说大量的泥状的,

blackspoitation, crime caper films of the same era, from Dirty Harry to Towering Inferno.
从《肮脏的哈里》到《高耸的地狱》，同时期的犯罪电影。

Why is this instrument such a favourite of ours?
为什么这个乐器是我们的最爱?

Possibly for its particular prominence in Vince Guaraldi’s soundtracks for Peanuts / Charlie Brown films.
可能是因为它在文斯·瓜拉尔迪(Vince Guaraldi)为《花生》(Peanuts)和《查理·布朗》(Charlie Brown)系列电影配乐中的突出表现。

But more probably its sensual use by Vangelis on his masterful score for Ridley Scott’s ‘Blade Runner’.
但更可能的是，范吉利斯在为雷德利·斯科特(Ridley Scott)的《银翼杀手》(Blade Runner)配乐时，将其运用到了感官上。

► ELECTRIC CLAVICHORD or “CLAV”
►电击弦钢琴或“clv”

Arguably its most famous incarnation is on Stevie’s monster ‘Superstition’ written originally as part of a collaboration with Jeff Beck, with this instrument being used merely as an illustration of what Stevie wanted the guitars to do.
可以说，它最著名的化身是史蒂夫的怪兽“迷信”，最初是作为与杰夫贝克合作的一部分，这个乐器只是用来说明史蒂夫想要吉他做什么。

The sound is produced by a harp of 60 tensioned steel strings oriented diagonally below the key surface.
这个声音是由一个由60根拉紧的钢弦组成的竖琴发出的。

Each key of the simple keyboard action is a single lever element that pivots on a fulcrum point at the rear.
简单的键盘操作的每个键都是一个杠杆元素，它在后面的一个支点上转动。

A spring returns the key to the rest position.
弹簧把钥匙复位到静止的位置。

The unique playing feel of this instrument comes from this abrupt impact of the pad striking its anvil point against the string.
这种乐器独特的演奏感觉来自于拍板敲击琴弦的砧尖的突然冲击。

The Clavichord responds well to guitar effects, especially the wah wah pedal as expertly demonstrated on the seminal “Head Hunters” recordings by Herbie Hancock.
击弦古钢琴对吉他效果的反应很好，特别是哇哇踏板专家级展示了开创性的“猎头”录音赫比汉考克。

► STAGE PIANO aka “THE WURLY”
►舞台钢琴“THE WURLY”

Not only a stalwart of RnB classics from the likes of Ray Charles and Donny Hathaway, this instrument found its way onto countless hits of the 70s and 80s with Elton John, Richard Carpenter, Edward Van Halen, and possibly most famously on Supertramp’s “Dreamer”.
这种乐器不仅是雷·查尔斯和唐尼·海瑟薇等RnB的经典之作，还在70年代和80年代与埃尔顿·约翰、理查德·卡彭特、爱德华·范·海伦的无数热门歌曲中找到了它的方式，最有名的可能是Supertramp的“梦想家”。

The 64 note Stage Piano (known to many musos as a “Wurly”) comprises of a single steel reed for each key, activated by a miniature version of a conventional grand piano action and forming part of an electrostatic pickup system.
64个音符的舞台钢琴(被许多musos称为“Wurly”)由一个单一的钢簧片为每个键，由一个微型版本的传统大钢琴动作激活，并形成一个静电拾音器的一部分。

We love it for its soft mellow tones at the bottom, and its biting totally transformed angry mid-tones when played harder and louder.
我们喜欢它的柔和柔和的音调在底部，它的咬完全转变愤怒的中间音调时，播放更大和更大声。

► ELECTRIC PIANO BASS aka “FINGER BASS”
►电子钢琴贝斯又名“手指贝斯”

A much rarer, but no less pristinely kept instrument from 1962.
一件更为稀有，但保存完好的1962年的乐器。

The world’s first dedicated keyboard bass instrument made uniquely famous by Ray Mazarek of The (bass guitar-less) Doors.
这是世界上第一个专用键盘低音乐器，由The(无低音吉他)Doors的Ray Mazarek制作而闻名于世。

His use of the electric piano bass was so iconic, his widow recently donated his model to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
他对电子钢琴低音的使用是如此的标志性，他的遗孀最近将他的模型捐赠给了摇滚名人堂。

This set of samples are a rare chance to create the most amazing dub bass style, sub harmonic rich Hip Hop style bass lines.
这组样本是一个难得的机会，创造最惊人的dub低音风格，次和声丰富的嘻哈风格低音线。

Using the same technology as the “EP”, the Finger Bass is an instrument finely tuned to provide the richest low end, while having the pump and attack you can only get with a piano style instrument.
使用与“EP”相同的技术，手指低音是一种精心调整的乐器，提供了最丰富的低端，而泵和攻击你只能得到钢琴风格的乐器。

The bass presets designed by Christian Henson offer a mere starting point of how far you could take this bad boy.
由Christian Henson设计的低音预设提供了一个起点，让你知道你可以把这个坏男孩走多远。
