本质上是一种机械化的20世纪金属音阶乐器变体，电颤琴通过使用电动风扇为其共鸣管添加了恒定的调制。

这些风扇或圆盘覆盖在共鸣管的顶部，并同步旋转，使共鸣管在电机循环的不同点上实现全功能或部分功能。

由此产生的音色是一种颤音效果——闪烁、金色且非常摇晃；由于所有共鸣管一起调制，因此在音符衰减时会累积效果。

真正的颤音建模

使用这种全局调制的乐器（例如Hammond C3/leslie）传统上难以进行真实的采样和建模，因为如果你在颤音开启时录制单个音符，它将与所有后续录制的音符完全不同步。之前对电颤琴的采样尝试通常是将乐器的电机/颤音关闭，然后使用LFO调制的滤波器近似模拟效果。

Soniccouture电颤琴采用了一种全新的方法——通过对整个乐器进行两次采样。一次是风扇关闭时，一次是风扇完全打开时，两次都是完全静止的——电机关闭。

一旦我们在风扇关闭和风扇打开的状态下完整地采样了电颤琴的声音，我们就可以在Kontakt中使用简单的正弦LFO在它们之间进行淡入淡出。这不仅提供了真实、详细的音色，还完全控制了颤音的速度，这是之前版本中缺失的另一个关键元素。

实验性的分层效果

除了自然的颤音建模外，拥有两层独立的电颤琴样本的另一个优势是，可以以新颖有趣的方式组合它们。

我们增加了额外的控制，允许你：

  • 独奏任意一层或同时播放两层
  • 翻转立体声图像或垂直设置的相位
  • 使用固定的“拍动”功能对层进行微调：无论你演奏哪个键，感知到的拍动是恒定的。
  • 对上述任意效果添加颤音，或关闭颤音以获得静态效果。

需要KONTAKT 5或KONTAKT 5 PLAYER版本5.5或更高版本。

Essentially a mechanised, 20th Century variation on the classic metallaphone, the vibraphone adds a constant modulation to its resonator tubes by the use of motorised fans.

The fans, or discs, cover the top of the resonator tube and spin in unison, allowing full or partial function of the resonator tube depending on which point of the cycle the motor is in.

The resulting tone is a type of tremolo effect – shimmering, golden, & very wobbly indeed; due to all resonators modulating together and thus aggregating the effect on the decaying notes.

TRUE TREMOLO MODELLING

Instruments that use this kind of global modulation (the Hammond C3/leslie is a similar example) are traditionally impossible to sample & model realistically, because if you record a single note with the tremolo active, it will be completely out of sync with all subsequent notes you record. Previous attempts to sample the vibraphone usually resorted to sampling the instrument with the motor/tremolo switched off, then approximating the effect later using filters modulated by an LFO to effect the change in timbre.

Soniccouture Vibraphone takes a completely new approach – by sampling the entire instrument twice. Once with the fans closed, once with them fully open, both times completely static – the motor switched off.

Once we have the full vibraphone sound sampled in both states – fans closed and fans open – we can then simply crossfade between them in Kontakt using a simple sinusoidal LFO. This gives not only the authentic, detailed timbre, but also full control over the speed of the tremolo, another essential element of the instrument missing from previous renderings.

EXPERIMENTAL LAYERING EFFECTS

In addition to the natural tremolo modelling, the other advantage of having two separate layers of vibraphone samples is that it is possible to combine them in new and interesting ways.

We have added extra controls that allow you to :

Solo either layer or play both at once

Flip Stereo image or phase of vertical set

Detune layers with a fixed ‘beating’ function : the perceived beating is constant, regardless of which key you play.

Add tremolo to any of the above effects, or turn it off for static effects.

Requires KONTAKT 5 or KONTAKT 5 PLAYER version 5.5 or later
