葫芦丝是一种源自中国南方的类似单簧管的乐器,尤其受到傣族、彝族和苗族等少数民族的喜爱。它由竹制风管和葫芦共鸣腔组成,配有两个辅助风管演奏固定音高的和声。由于葫芦丝音色柔美动听,它被广泛用于表达浪漫情感和伴奏抒情舞蹈。

可调音场
在录制样本时,使用了五种不同位置的麦克风,以捕捉葫芦丝的空间感和混响特性。所有这些通道都被混合成四个通道:阴、阳和远景立体声。这四个通道的音量可以在软件中调节,从而可以获得最丰富的音色变化。

演奏表现
通过控制气流和指法,葫芦丝能够表现出丰富的演奏技法,如颤音、指拨、颤抖、震音、震音、跳音和滑音等。这些表现都可以在《葫芦世界》软件中触发,使其成为最具可调性的葫芦丝虚拟乐器。

真实表现
《葫芦世界》拥有真实录制的表现,可以自由控制。通过MIDI CC控制,它可以像实际葫芦丝演奏一样表达音色变化。

滑音
通过三种不同速度的真实滑音样本和样本合成技术,《葫芦世界》可以自由调整速度进行滑音演奏。

自主研发的颤音引擎
基于真实样本的LFO引擎,使得《葫芦世界》能够表现出既真实又可调的颤音效果。

采样引擎
自主研发的采样引擎提供更好的音质、更强大的磁盘缓存流媒体/采样压缩技术,以及全新的声音融合技术。

连奏
我们在两种速度下录制了连奏音符之间的过渡音,并根据演奏速度在软件中应用。此外,我们还录制了“中国葫芦丝特有的”连奏表现,如“常规连奏”、“快速连奏”和“跳音连奏”。

调音
用户可以在低音、中音或高音葫芦丝之间切换,获得不同的调音,其中中音葫芦丝的音色来自原始样本。

和声
来自两个和声管的声音已被录制成可触发的样本。

自主研发的谱面融合连奏技术
真实录制的连奏样本能够增强连奏乐器的真实感,但通过简单的交叉淡化算法进行样本之间的连接,可能会引起相位抵消问题。为了更好地协调连奏表现,我们开发了“谱面融合连奏”技术。当必要时,使用频域融合代替时域的交叉淡化,以创建样本之间的过渡部分,从而提高连接的流畅性。

卷积混响
在中国传统系列的开发初期,我们开始从中国一些壮丽的自然景观和历史遗址录制卷积混响样本。因此,您可以模拟在长城或兵马俑遗址上演奏《葫芦世界》的效果。

效果架
来自Heavier7Strings的效果架:包括压缩器、均衡器、合唱和乒乓延迟等,允许创造更灵活的音效。

模式库
完整的模式库,允许您轻松应用到作品和创意中,包含丰富的模式预设,未来可更新。同时,您还可以通过拖拽MIDI剪辑来创建自己的模式。

Hulusi is a clarinet-like instrument in southern China, and it is especially favored by Dai, Yi, and Miao ethnic minorities. It has a bamboo wind tube and gourd resonance chamber, with two auxiliary wind tubes play two fixed notes for harmonics. Due to the mellifluous and lovely sound of Hulusi, it is massively used to express romantic relationships and accompaniment for lyrical dance.

Adjustable Sound Field.
When samples were recorded, 5 different microphones were used with different positions to capture the spatial and reverb characteristics of Hulusi. 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, Hulusi 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 World in Gourd software, making it most adjustable Hulusi virtual instrument:

Realistic Expressions.
World in Gourd has real-recorded expressions that are freely controllable. With the control of MIDI CC, it can express tone changes like a real Hulusi performance:

Gliss.
With three different speeds of real-recorded gliss samples and sample synthesis technique, World in Gourd can perform gliss at freely adjustable speed:

Self-developed Vibrato Engine.
Real-sample-based LFO engine making World in Gourd 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 “regular legato”, “fast legato” and “popping legato” that are specific in Chinese Hulusi:

Tune.
User can switch between bass, alto or treble Hulusi to have different tuning, where alto Hulusi sounds from the original samples:

Harmony.
Sounds from the two harmony tubes were recorded into triggerable samples:

Self-developed spectrum fusion legato technology.
Real-recorded legato samples can enhance the realism of legato instruments, but the conjugate part by naive cross-fade algorithm of two samples would induce phase-cancellation problems. In order to better cohesive legato performance, we developed the “spectrum fusion legato” technology. When necessary, frequency domain fusion is used instead of time domain cross-fade to create transition part between samples, which improves the smoothness of the connection:

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 World in Gourd 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 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.
