Soniccouture Vibraphone v2.0.0 KONTAKT
电颤琴、颤音琴,是在第一次世界大战后问世的一种以敲击发声的爵士乐特色乐器。形制与木琴相仿,只不过它的敲击部不象木琴的以硬木条制成,而是以金属条制成。和木琴一样,铁琴的每个金属条下也有共鸣管,不过它比木琴要多一个电动马达或者发条式装置,用来转动共鸣管内的圆盘,从而使敲击发出的声音得以延续并形成长短强弱皆可控制的颤音,音色比较特异,但悦耳至极。
SONICCOUTURE真正的TREMOLO建模
使用全局调制的乐器(Hammond C3 / leslie是一个类似的示例)很难实际采样和建模,因为如果您在颤音有效的情况下录制单个音符,它将与您录制的所有后续音符不同步。
以前对电颤琴采样的尝试通常是在关闭马达/颤音的情况下录制乐器,然后使用滤波器和LFO伪造效果。
Soniccouture Vibraphone采用全新方法-对整个乐器进行两次采样。风扇关闭一次,风扇完全打开一次,两次都完全静止-电动机关闭。一旦我们在两个状态下都采样了完整的颤音器声音(风扇关闭且风扇打开),我们就可以使用简单的正弦LFO在Kontakt中进行淡入淡出。这不仅可以提供真实的声音,还可以完全控制颤音的速度,颤音是乐器的另一个基本要素。
ULTRA-REALISTIC VIBRAPHONE INSTRUMENT
LIQUID METAL
The vibraphone adds a constant modulation to its resonator tubes with the use of motorised fans. These cover the top of the tube and spin in unison, effectively opening and closing the resonator in a circular motion.
The resulting tone is the famous tremolo effect; shimmering, golden and wobbly.
THE KONTAKT INSTRUMENT
The main instrument panel features the Tremolo modelling control section, as well as lowpass and hipass filters, with envelopes for amplitude and filter modulation
SAMPLING THE VIBRAPHONE
The resonator tubes of the vibraphone
Instruments that use global modulation (the Hammond C3/leslie is a similar example) are difficult to sample & model realistically, because if you record a single note with the tremolo active, it will be out of sync with all subsequent notes you record.
Previous attempts to sample the vibraphone usually recorded the instrument with the motor/tremolo switched off, then faked the effect using filters and LFO.
Soniccouture Vibraphone takes a completely new approach - by sampling the entire instrument twice. Once with the fans closed, once with them fully open, both times completely static - the motor switched off. Once we have the full vibraphone sound sampled in both states - fans closed and fans open - we can then simply crossfade between them in Kontakt using a simple sinusoidal LFO. This gives not only the authentic sound, but also full control over the speed of the tremolo, another essential element of the instrument.
