中国笛子虚拟乐器
笛子是一种传统的中国横笛,通常由竹子制成。与类似乐器不同,笛子具有由芦苇制成的膜片,随着气流的振动而发出清晰明亮的音色,形成了其独特的声音。笛子是一种极具表现力的乐器,除了其流畅美丽的旋律部分,笛子还能通过丰富的演奏技法,如快速的指爆、舌颤、气流颤音等,展现出极为复杂的独奏技巧。

笛子主要有两种变体:

  • 曲笛(字面意思为“旋律笛”),通常用于演奏复杂的独奏作品,是《Whisper of Loong》中所呈现的笛子类型。
  • 梆笛(字面意思为“戏曲笛”),其音色非常明亮,通常作为中国传统戏曲中的伴奏乐器。

样本数量: 1745

采样参数:

  • 44100 Hz / 24-bit
  • 样本大小: 1.5 GB
  • 可调声音场

在采样过程中,使用了10种不同麦克风和不同位置来捕捉笛子的空间感和混响特性。所有的通道经过混合处理后分为四个:阴、阳和远程立体声。这四个通道的音量可以在软件中调节,以获得不同的音色。

演奏技法:
通过控制气流和手指,笛子可以展现出丰富的演奏技法,如颤音、指爆、快速颤音、舌颤、颤音、跳音和滑音等。所有这些演奏技法都可以在《Whisper of Loong》软件中触发,使其成为一款极具调节性的笛子虚拟乐器。

真实的表现:
《Whisper of Loong》包含真实录制的表情,用户可以通过MIDI CC自由控制。这样可以模拟真实笛子演奏中的音色变化。

滑音:
通过三种不同速度的真实录音滑音样本,并结合样本合成技术,Whisper of Loong 可以自由调节滑音的速度。

自研颤音引擎:
采用基于真实样本的LFO引擎,使《Whisper of Loong》能够表现出既真实又可调节的颤音效果。

采样引擎:
Whisper of Loong 采用自研的采样引擎,提供更高的音质、更强的磁盘缓冲流式播放/采样压缩技术,以及全新的声音融合技术。

连奏:
我们录制了连奏音符之间的音色转换,分别在两种速度下进行,并根据演奏速度在软件中进行应用。此外,我们还录制了中国笛子特有的“跳连奏”。

卷积混响:
在中国传统系列开发之初,我们开始从中国的壮丽景点和著名的自然历史遗址录制卷积混响样本。这样,您可以模拟《Whisper of Loong》在长城或兵马俑遗址等地方的演奏效果。

效果架:
来自Heavier7Strings的效果架,包括压缩器、均衡器、合唱和PING-PONG延迟,提供更灵活的声音调整。

模式库:
完整的模式库使您可以轻松管理作品和创意,包含丰富的预设模式,未来可以进行更新。同时,您还可以通过拖拽MIDI剪辑创建自己的模式。

预设:
提供各种预设,从中国传统风格到实验性、前卫的音效应有尽有。

Chinese Dizi Virtual Instruments.

Dizi is a Chinese transverse flute-like instrument made of the bamboo trunk. Unlike similar instruments, Dizi has a bulrush-made membrane that vibrates with airflow, making up its uniquely clear and bright sound. Dizi is an incredibly expressive instrument. Besides its smooth and beautiful melodic parts, Dizi can be played with a rich set of performances, such as rapid finger-popping, tongue-flutter, and airflow vibrato, allowing Dizi to play the most complex solo parts.

There are two major variants of Dizi: Qudi (literally melodic Dizi), which is usually used for playing solo works as the primary instrument of complex work, and it is what we present here in Whisper of Loong; and Bangdi (literally opera Dizi), with its very bright sound, is usually served as the accompanying instrument of traditional Chinese opera.

Samples: 1745.

Sampling Parameter: 44100 Hz / 24-bit.

Sample Size: 1.5 GB:

Adjustable Sound Field.

When samples were recorded, 10 different microphones were used with different positions to capture the spatial and reverb characteristics of Dizi. All these channels were mixed down to four channels: Yin, Yang and far stereo. The volumes of these four channels were adjustable in software, making it possible to obtain most various tone:

Performances.

By controlling airflow and finger, Dizi has a very rich set of performances such as mordent, finger pole popping, trill, flutter, vibrato, staccato and gliss. All these performances can be triggered in Whisper of Loong software, making it most adjustable Dizi virtual instrument:

Realistic Expressions.

Whisper of Loong has real-recorded expressions that are freely controllable. With the control of MIDI CC, it can express tone changes like a real Dizi performance:

Gliss.

With three different speeds of real-recorded gliss samples and sample synthesis technique, Whisper of Loong can perform gliss at freely adjustable speed:

Self-developed Vibrato Engine.

Real-sample-based LFO engine making Whisper of Loong performs vibrato that is both realistic and adjustable:

Sampling Engine.

Self-developed sampling engine with better sound quality, more powerful disk buffer streaming/sampling compression technology, and brand-new sound fusion technology:

Legato.

We recorded the sound between legato notes in two speeds, and apply them according to playing speed in software. In addition, we recorded “popping legato” that are specific in Chinese Dizi:

Convolution reverb.

At the beginning of Chinese Traditional series development, we started to record the convolution reverb samples from spectacular places, famous natural and historical heritages in China. Thus you can simulate Whisper of Loong being played at the Great Wall or Terracotta Army site:

Effect Rack.

From the Heavier7Strings’ effect rack: Compressor, EQ, Chorus and Ping-Pong delay are included, allowing to create more flexible sounds:

Pattern Library.

Complete pattern library allowing to manage your works and ideas easily, with rich preset of patterns that can be updated in the future. And you could create your own pattern by dragging MIDI clips inside:

Presets.

Various presets from Chinese traditional to experimental to the edge.
