Ample China Qudi (ACQD) 翻译

Ample China Qudi (ACQD) 基于最新的木管采样引擎开发,拥有 4.4 GB 的采样库,包括演奏时的头部与主体音色、多种效果音,以及精选的即兴乐句合集。

艺术家:

丁晓逵(中国民族乐团)

乐器:

优雅之风系列 D 调曲笛(王建红大师手工制作)


采样细节

  • 录音采用 5 支麦克风(前、中、后、立体声环境),每支麦克风音量可独立调节,并配备通道均衡器(EQ)。
  • 提供 3 种麦克风模式:单声道、现代、传统,可实现多样的音色设计。

发音(Articulations)

采样库包括三类发音方式:

  1. 头部组(蓝色键位切换):用于演奏音头装饰音,更多装饰音分配在更高的切换键;上行和下行音符紧密排列。
  2. 主体组(黄色键位切换):不仅支持头部装饰音,还可以用于连奏表达声音的动态变化。
  3. 特殊效果组(红色键位切换):主要用于音效扩展。

每组发音方式占用一个八度音程。


动态范围与音色

  • 木管乐器具备丰富的动态范围与音色变化。
  • 采样库提供 5 层力度,从柔和到明亮强劲。
  • 特定发音细节:
    • 表现力(Expression)发音有 4 层力度
    • 颤音(Vibrato)发音有 2 层力度
    • 颤音音阶(Trill)为真实采样。

结合 SAHDS 虚拟调制系统,可以创造生动、真实的音符。


智能连奏系统

  • 自动检测每个音符的时长:
    • 音符时长短于设定值时触发直接连奏,以避免快速演奏中的多余装饰音。
    • 当时长超过设定值时,根据力度分层触发不同的连奏类型:
      • 力度 126-127:叠加连奏(上行)与波动连奏(下行)。
      • 力度 96-125:装饰连奏。
      • 力度 32-96:直接连奏。
      • 力度 1-31:柔和连奏 1 或 2。
  • 滑音连奏模式:低力度触发滑音。
  • 双重连奏模式:使用延音踏板开启。
  • 无限发音连奏:通过主体组键位切换实现持续变化的连奏。

创意功能

  1. 镜像功能
    • 在音符发声时按下切换键可以逆转当前采样,例如将上滑音变为下滑音,或将慢颤音变为快颤音。
  2. 可调风声
    • 从真实采样中分离木管吹管时的风声,音量可独立调节。
    • 控制风声的变化可提升“呼吸感”,增加演奏的真实性。

其他功能

  • 音效处理
    • 8 段高阶均衡器,频响实时可视化,支持单频段独奏。
    • 双路压缩器,支持 RMS 和峰值检测模式、软拐点、自动释放和自动增益。
    • 6 段回声处理,可独立调节每段回声的反馈、声像和音量。
    • 卷积混响(IR Reverb):提供房间、工作室、大厅和大型大厅四种 IR 类型,并带 3D 频谱可视化。
  • 优化性能
    • 无需安装 iLok 授权管理器。
    • 版本加载速度更快,内存占用更低。

一切只为更逼真和高效的木管演奏体验。

Ample China Qudi (ACQD) is built on the latest development of the Woodwind Sample Engine, with 4.4 GB samples, including head and body articulations, FX sounds, as well as a select collection of improvised licks.

The Artist: Xiaokui Ding (China National Traditional Orchestra)

The Instrument: Elegant Wind series D key Qudi (Jianhong Wang Masterbuilt)

Sampling:

Recorded with 5 mics (Front, Middle, Back, Stereo Ambient). Each mic volume is adjustable and equipped with channel EQ.

3 Mic modes: Mono, Modern and Traditional, capable of colorful sound designs.

There are 3 kinds of articulations – Head Group (blue keyswitches), Body Group (yellow keyswithces) and Special Effect Group (red keyswitches). Each group occupies one octave.

The head group is used to perform grace notes at head. Articulations with more grace notes are assigned to higher keyswitches; Ascending and descending articulations are close together.

The body group can not only perform grace notes at head, but can also be used for articulation legatos to express changes of the sound body.

The woodwinds have great dynamic range and timbre variation. The sample library provides 5 velocity layers, with sound from mildly soft to bright and strong.

There are 4 velocity layers for Expression articulation, 2 velocity layers for Vibrato articulation, and real samples of Trill sounds. Together with SAHDS virtual modulation system, they can create vivid and realistic notes.

Note velocity is used to control the start time of Expression and Vibrato articulations, to generate slowly developing notes or strong notes.

The sample length is about 8 seconds on average. In most cases, it can meet the requirements of a note. If longer notes are needed, users can turn on the Sample Loop function.

Features:

Intelligent Legato System

The Auto Legato System detects the duration of each note. For legatos whose duration is less than this value, only the straight legato will be triggered to ensure that no unwanted grace notes are generated during fast performance.

When note duration is longer than Legato Time:

Velocity(126-127) Triggers Layering Legato (Ascending) and Ripple Legato(Descending)

Velocity(96-125) triggers Grace Legato

Velocity(32-96) triggers Straight Legato

Velocity(16-31) triggers Soft Legato 1

Velocity(1-15) triggers Soft Legato 2

In Slide Legato mode, low velocity triggers slide notes.

In the real performance of the Woodwind, the legatos are ever-changing, sometimes hard and sometimes soft. Legatos with no changes cannot completely simulate real performance.

Hold pedal can be used to turn on Double Legato Mode.

Endless Articulation Legato:

The body group can be used for endless articulation legatos. For example, you can start with a Sustain, hold the note, then play the Expression Keyswitch (C1) to play legato to an Expression note; then play Marking keyswitch (E1) to play legato to a Marking note, and then press Laying keyswitch (F1) to play legato to a Laying note, and so on.

Creative Mirroring Feature:

Playing the keyswitch when a note is sounding will reverse the sample at current position. It changes for example a Slide Up to Slide Down, or a Slow-Fast Vibrato to Fast-Slow Vibrato. It can also be used to control the sustained body of notes like Expression.

Voice independent SAHDS Modulation System:

Each voice has its on SAHDS modulation envelope.

You can get natural and realistic vibratos while keeping the Mod wheel in one position.

The mod speed, gain, and pitch can also be adjusted.

Adjustable Wind Effect:

The Wind is the sound of air blowing in the Woodwind tube. We extracted this sound from each real sample to enable the independent control of this element.

The sound of the woodwind without the Wind is very pure. Moderately control the volume of the Wind, and make some changes during the performance, can increase the feeling of “dirty” and breath, and improve the realism.

Other new features include sample skipping technology, random articulation, keyboard mode for playing chords etc.

FX:

High order 8-band EQ, intuitive control of frequency response, real-time visualization of input and output spectrum, support of soloing single band..

2-Line Compressor, real-time visualization of input and output signal, two detection modes RMS & Peak, support of soft knee, auto release and auto makeup.

6-Tap Echo, real-time visualization of the processing of stereo signal, can tweak the parameters of 6 echo points individually: feedback, pan, volume etc.

IR Reverb, providing four types of IR: Room, Studio, Hall, and Larger Hall. 3D visualization of IR spectrum.

 

A witch says,

* No installation of iLok License Manager is required.

* Our release loads faster and use less memory than original.
