阿尔卑斯之声
齐特琴的声音粗犷浑厚，常被形容为"柔和"。我们对这把音乐会齐特琴进行了严苛的处理：我们拨动、抚摸和扫弦所有琴弦，力求捕捉齐特琴所能发出的所有声音、噪音和清晰度。最终，我们组装了六个不同的音色。音乐会齐特琴是对所有其他 Cinematique Strings 乐器的完美补充：稀有而独特。

齐特琴是一种弦乐器，其多根琴弦分布在一个纤薄的木质共鸣箱上。演奏时，用手指或拨弦器扫弦或拨弦。齐特琴常见于斯洛文尼亚、奥地利、匈牙利、克罗地亚西北部以及德国南部地区。它因安东·卡拉斯为1949年黑色电影《第三人》创作的充满魅力的中心主题曲而闻名。
我们呈现的这把齐特琴是一把音乐会齐特琴。琴弦排列如下：5根带弦的旋律弦，位于类似吉他的指板上方；然后是14根无弦的"伴奏"弦；接着是11根无弦的"低音"弦；最后是6根"低音"弦。这把音乐会齐特琴的声音粗犷浑厚，常被形容为"柔和"。
我们对这把音乐会齐特琴进行了严苛的处理：我们拨动、抚摸和扫弦所有琴弦，以捕捉齐特琴所能发出的所有声音、噪音和演奏技巧。最终，我们组装了5个不同的音色。首先是两个主音色，所有36根琴弦都以4个循环变奏和多个（最多4个）动态层录制。此外，我们还以弱音变奏的形式录制了31根伴奏弦。具体来说，它有五种演奏技巧：手指、按弦、弱音、倒弦和弓弦。
这些音符是用两个不同的麦克风录制的：一对大振膜电容麦克风和一个经典的动圈麦克风。为了塑造声音，我们添加了一个复杂的脚本来实现音乐会古筝的多种变化。除了主要的复杂音色外，我们还提供了另外四个实用的效果音色：滑音（由调制轮控制）、旋转音色、驱动音色和八度音色。在这里，您可以找到各种罕见且卓越的弦乐效果音色。
最后，我们还添加了琶音器和步进音序器，为这款乐器增添了更多可能性。音乐会古筝是对所有其他 Cinematique Strings 乐器的完美补充：稀有且独特。
THE SOUND OF THE ALPS
The Zither has a rough and dirty sound, often described as "mellow". We handled the Concert Zither harshly: We plucked, stroked and strummed all the strings to get every possible sound, noise and articulation the Zither can produce. Finally, we assembled six different patches. The Concert Zither is a perfect supplement to all the other Cinematique Strings instruments: rare and unique.
Cinematique Instruments Concert Zither v2 KONTAKT screenshotTHE CONCERT ZITHER
The Zither is a stringed instrument, having many strings stretched across a thin, wooden soundbox. It is played by strumming or plucking the strings with fingers or a plec. The Zither is commonly found in Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, northwestern Croatia, and Germany's southern regions. The instrument became famous due to the charismatic central theme composed by Anton Karas for the 1949 film noir called "The Third Man".
The Zither instrument we are presenting is a Concert Zither. The strings are arranged as follows: 5 fretted melody strings, placed above a guitar-like fretboard, then 14 unfretted "accompaniment" strings; followed by 11 unfretted "bass" strings and finally 6 "contrabass" strings. The concert Zither has a rough and dirty sound often described as "mellow".
We handled the Concert Zither harshly: We plucked, stroked and strummed all the strings to get every possible sound, noise and articulation the Zither can produce. Finally, we assembled 5 different patches. Firstly there are two main patches with all 36 strings recorded in 4 round robin variations and several (up to four) dynamic layers. We additionally recorded the 31 accompaniment strings in a muted variation. In detail, you get five articulations: Finger, Plec, Muted, Reverse, and Bow.
These notes were recorded with two different microphones: a large-diaphragm condenser pair and a classic dynamic microphone. To shape the sound, we added a complex script to achieve many variations of the Concert Zither. Besides the principal complex patches, we provide another 4 useful FX patches: glissando (controlled by the mod-wheel), rotary, drive and an octaver. Here you find a great assortment of rare and exceptional FX string sounds.
Finally, we included an arpeggiator and a step sequencer to add even more possibilities to this instrument. The Concert Zither is a perfect supplement to all the other Cinematique Strings instruments: rare and unique. |
