HARPSICHORD
羽管键琴
With its full sound, charismatic and distinctive timbre the Harpsichord has been a backbone of many composers’ works ever since the Baroque era, spanning all the way up to the modern cinematic music.
以其饱满的声音,魅力和独特的音色,羽管键琴一直是许多作曲家从巴洛克时期的作品的支柱,一直跨越到现代电影音乐。
Driven by the desire to capture every single tone color of this amazing instrument in detail, we embarked on the journey of recording and creating an easily playable instrument, while still preserving its character and its unique “voice”.
为了能够捕捉到这个令人惊叹的乐器的每一个音色的细节,我们开始了录制和创造一个容易演奏的乐器的旅程,同时仍然保留它的特性和它独特的“声音”。
The harpsichord was meticulously tuned and prepared by our engineers in order to give out a clear, even tone for all registers.
我们的工程师精心调音和准备了拨弦古钢琴,以便为所有音域发出清晰、均匀的音调。
The instrument consists of three registers, or in other words – 3 different sets of strings recorded here – two at 8 feet long and one at 4 feet long that sound an octave above the others.
乐器由三个音域组成,或者换句话说——这里记录的三组不同的弦——两组8英尺长,一组4英尺长,声音比其他的高八度。
We’ve also captured the “buff”, also known as lute stop: soft leather pressed against the strings, for a slightly more muted tone.
我们还捕捉了“buff”,也被称为琵琶停止:柔软的皮革压在琴弦上,为了一个稍微更柔和的音调。
We have also recorded a true combination between the three registers (8’ + 8’ + 4’) and you have the software possibility to combine them differently yourself.
我们还记录了三个寄存器(8 ‘ + 8 ‘ + 4 ‘)之间的真实组合,你有软件的可能性,以不同的方式组合他们自己。
Choosing different registers and parameter combinations (mic adjustments, etc) can vastly change the tone of the instrument and perceived playing space, which is perfect for any mixing situation where the harpsichord can be adjusted properly, without compromising the true sound of the instrument.
选择不同的音域和参数组合(麦克风调整等)可以极大地改变乐器的音调和感知的演奏空间,这对于任何混合的情况下都是完美的,键琴可以适当地调整,而不会损害乐器的真实声音。
All the different register combinations are also available as key switches placed close to the bottom of the keyboard, so that the register combination could be edited with a single key.
所有不同的寄存器组合也可以作为靠近键盘底部的键开关使用,这样就可以用一个键编辑寄存器组合。
You can opt to turn the release sample set on and off with this toggle switch.
您可以选择打开和关闭释放样品设置与这个拨动开关。
There’s also a choice for you between modern tuning at 440Hz, and a more traditional baroque tuning at 415Hz.
你还可以在440Hz的现代调谐和415Hz的更传统的巴洛克调谐之间进行选择。
As with any other of our libraries, you have the opportunity to reset the round-robins of any instrument using the RESET RR with the keyswitch located at C1.
与我们的任何其他库一样,您有机会使用位于C1的按键开关reset RR来重置任何仪器的循环计数器。
The content of the library was recorded in the Sofia Session Studio with a variety of microphones used in many different positions.
图书馆的内容是在Sofia Session工作室用各种不同位置的麦克风录制的。
These have later been summed up to 4 useful variations: Close, Mid, Decca and Hall.
这些后来被总结为4个有用的变化:Close, Mid, Decca和Hall。
For all 4 of those, you have the option to Purge (the ON/OFF button on top of the volume slider), Solo or Mute.
对于所有这4个,你可以选择清除(音量滑块顶部的开/关按钮),Solo或静音。
In addition, you can adjust the volume, the stereo width, and you can designate different outputs for each microphone position if needed.
此外,您还可以调整音量、立体声宽度,如果需要,您还可以为每个麦克风位置指定不同的输出。
