Fracture Sounds ARCO: Bowed and Plucked Piano Ensemble [KONTAKT]

 
Arco is a beautiful ensemble of four pianos, meticulously sampled in a concert hall with a range of bowed and plucked articulations.
Arco是由四架钢琴组成的美丽的合奏曲，在音乐厅里以一系列的弓形和弹拨关节精心采样。

Arco is perfect for dramatic swells, shimmering textures and lush melodic lines.
Arco是完美的戏剧性膨胀，闪闪发光的纹理和丰富的旋律线。

Over a year in the making, and the first of its kind, Arco’s unique sonic flavours will be a welcome addition to any composer’s toolbox.
超过一年的制作，和第一个它的种类，Arco的独特的声音味道将是一个欢迎添加到任何作曲家的工具箱。

The sound of Arco could be described as a hybrid between a piano and a string ensemble.
阿科的声音可以被描述为钢琴和弦乐合奏的混合。

We took four pianos (two grands and two uprights), put them in a concert hall and performed each note with a range of techniques.
我们把四架钢琴(两架三角钢琴和两架立式钢琴)放在音乐厅里，用一系列的技巧演奏每个音符。

After weeks of planning and experimenting, we settled on using nylon fishing line, coated in two types of rosin – bass rosin for the lower range and cello rosin for the upper range.
经过数周的计划和试验，我们决定使用尼龙钓线，并涂上两种类型的松香，鲈鱼松香用于下盘，大提琴松香用于上盘。

In addition to bowed articulations, the library also contains ensemble plucks, a specially scripted plucked tremolo, and a range of atonal and aleatoric FX and glissandi.
除了鞠躬关节，图书馆还包括合奏拨，一个特别脚本弹拨颤音，和一系列无调性和任意的FX和滑音。

Developed with the modern film, TV and game composer in mind, Arco is extremely playable out-of-the-box, and features a clean, accessible user interface for controlling the performance.
《Arco》是基于现代电影、电视和游戏作曲家的理念而开发的，它是一款非常具有可玩性的游戏，并拥有一个干净且易于访问的用户界面来控制游戏的表现。

The Recording
录音

We spent 3 days in a modern concert hall recording studio, recording the ensemble with 20 top-shelf microphones (including Neumann, DPA, Royer, Coles and Schoeps), through a pristine signal path (D.A.V. pre-amps, RME converters).
我们花了3天的时间在一个现代音乐厅录音室，用20个顶级的麦克风(包括Neumann, DPA, Royer, Coles和Schoeps)，通过一个原始的信号路径(d.a.v前置放大器，RME转换器)录制合奏。

The hall we chose features a deliciously rich, thick, yet fairly short reverb tail, perfect for creating a sense of distance while being dry enough to add your own reverb to taste.
我们选择的大厅特色是一个美味的丰富，厚实，但相当短的混响尾，完美地创造了一种距离感，同时又足够干燥，添加自己的混响味道。

The three included microphone mixes make it easy to dial in the perfect sound for your music, and the unique ‘perspective’ control gives you a single slider to easily shift between a close or distant mix.
内置的三个麦克风混音使它很容易为你的音乐拨出完美的声音，独特的“视角”控制给你一个滑块，可以轻松地在近距离混音之间切换。
