Soundiron Hopkin Instrumentarium: The U v1.0 [KONTAKT]

The U is a glissy steel lamellophone created by master instrument inventor Bart Hopkin.
U是由乐器大师巴特·霍普金发明的一种光滑的钢薄片电话。

Rather than having one tine per note, this creation has 14 closely spaced tines per note.
不是每个音符有一个齿，而是每个音符有14个紧密间隔的齿。

Each group of tines is tuned in octaves and fifths across a range of three or four octaves.
每一组音阶在三到四个八度音阶范围内以八度和五度调音。

The sound is produced by stroking with a glissing action across the array of tines for the chosen note, using a thin stick-like plectrum.
这种声音是通过使用一根细棍状的拨片，在选中的音符的尖阵列上轻轻敲击而产生的。

There are twelve such groups forming a chromatic scale.
有十二个这样的组组成一个半音音阶。

Since each group spans several octaves, melodies can be played creatively by accenting specific tines.
因为每一组都跨越了几个八度，所以可以通过强调特定的音调来创造性地演奏旋律。

The tines are made of narrow stainless steel machine screws, tuned by adjusting the length using the hex nuts at the base.
齿形由窄不锈钢机器螺丝制成，使用底座上的六角螺母调节长度。

In addition, most of the screws are overtone-tuned by means of additional hex nuts serving as adjustable weights along the length.
此外，大多数螺钉是泛音调谐的手段，额外的六角螺母作为可调重量沿长度。

The final result is a fascinatingly liquid and metallic timbre, ideal for your next composition that requires a truly unique tone.
最终的结果是一个迷人的液体和金属的音色，理想的你的下一个组成，需要一个真正独特的色调。

To start, we recorded The U up close in wide stereo.
首先，我们用宽立体声近距离录制了U。

For our second mic position, we used a tetrahedral binaural microphone to give you a first-person experience of playing the instrument, with an intimate and enveloping sound.
在我们的第二个麦克风位置，我们使用了一个四面体双耳麦克风，让你以第一人称的方式演奏乐器，有一种亲密和包围的声音。

We’ve included a range of playable tuned and untuned articulations to give you complete freedom.
我们已经包括了一系列可播放的调谐和未调谐的清晰度给你完全的自由。

And in classic Soundiron tradition, we’ve also included sound-designed textures, pads and tones that take the concept beyond its material source and into the realm of pure imagination.
在经典的Soundiron传统中，我们还包含了声音设计的纹理、衬垫和音调，将概念超越其材料来源，进入纯粹的想象领域。

They can be played, layered, modulated and blended along with the natural acoustic articulations to achieve and endless array of new sonic combinations.
它们可以被演奏，分层，调整和混合与自然的声学清晰度，以实现和无尽的新声波组合阵列。

The U offers you a broad, flexible palette of musical colors and comes equipped with easy-to-use layer mixing, performance tools and special effects to spark your creativity.
U为您提供了一个广泛的，灵活的音乐色彩调色板，并配备了易于使用的图层混合，性能工具和特殊效果，以激发您的创造力。
