PX Apollo is based on a rare synthesizer prototype from the early ’70s of which only 2 are known to exist.
PX阿波罗是基于70年代早期的一个罕见的合成器原型,目前已知只有两个。

Part of a larger project that was eventually abandoned, this instrument was the precursor to one of the world’s first and most prolific polyphonic analog synthesizers.
作为一个最终被放弃的更大项目的一部分,这个乐器是世界上第一个和最多产的多音模拟合成器的前身。

With a sound that can be described as rich, warm and surreal, this instrument was extraordinarily playable for the time, sporting velocity sensitivity and a performance interface, while its polyphonic 71-voice architecture signaled the coming paradigm shift in synthesizer design that would soar during the following decade.
有一个声音,可以被描述为丰富,温暖和超现实,这个乐器是非常可玩的时间,运动速度灵敏度和性能界面,而它的复音71-声音结构标志着即将到来的合成器设计范式的转变,将在接下来的十年里高涨。

The PX Apollo project represents an enormous effort and commitment to quality on many levels.
PX阿波罗项目代表了在许多层面上对质量的巨大努力和承诺。

Due to the components available at the time of their design, early polyphonic synthesizers were and remain particularly susceptible to failure and require continued maintenance.
由于在设计时可用的组件,早期的多音合成器非常容易出现故障,需要持续的维护。

The unit used for PX Apollo was no exception, initially inoperable it required a tremendous restoration effort and no expense was spared to ensure complete authenticity and original functionality.
PX Apollo使用的装置也不例外,最初无法使用,需要进行巨大的修复工作,并不惜代价确保完全的真实性和原始功能。

With the restoration complete we set about to document this historic instrument as accurately as possible.
修复工作完成后,我们开始尽可能准确地记录这一历史乐器。

We created a huge master sample catalogue with the best hardware available.
我们用最好的硬件创建了一个巨大的主样本目录。

Each key was sampled in a multitude of configurations and for each 4 round-robins were created per note.
在多种配置中对每个键进行采样,并为每个注释创建4个循环。

The resulting PX Apollo sound bank consists of over 4,000 samples.
由此产生的PX阿波罗声音库包含了4000多个样本。

From this library over 150 patches were made by our sound design team, delivering a fantastic collection of ready-to-play patches.
在这个库中,我们的声音设计团队制作了超过150个补丁,提供了一个很棒的现成补丁集合。

The UI for PX Apollo was inspired by the aesthetics of the original hardware, while the layout and control schema were designed to provide intuitive and efficient use while maximizing flexibility,
PX Apollo的UI灵感来自于原始硬件的美学,而布局和控制模式的设计是为了提供直观和高效的使用,同时最大化灵活性,

allowing for both quick edits to preset sounds and deep customization by way of a full compliment of synthesis tools and effects including 3 oscillators, envelope generators, high-quality filters, pitch and stereo controls and per-oscillator modulation and arpeggiation.
允许快速编辑预设的声音和深度定制的方式,合成工具和效果包括3个振荡器,包络发生器,高质量的滤波器,音调和立体声控制和每振荡器调制和琶音。

PX Apollo provides a glimpse into a key moment of synthesizer history at one of the industries most important turning points, delivering a rich and detailed sound with a warm and pronounced character.
PX阿波罗提供了一个关键时刻的合成器的历史在行业最重要的转折点之一,提供了丰富和详细的声音与温暖和显著的性格。
