尽管曼陀林起源于18世纪的意大利,但近一个世纪以来,它在美国根音乐中占据了宝贵的地位。作为蓝草音乐的标志性元素,它在乡村、民间、凯尔特和世界音乐中也有着持久的存在。Led Zeppelin、Queen、Rod Stewart和R.E.M.等传奇摇滚乐队在他们的一些最热门歌曲中都使用了它。我们与罗塞特·曼陀林合作的目的是提供一种细节精美的乐器,不仅在蓝草乐队中大放异彩,而且在各种流派中都能大放异彩。
真实的声音和表演
对于我们Rosette系列的最新作品,我们求助于传奇的蓝草音乐家和多乐器演奏家Ronnie Stewart,在蓝草老将Rickey Wasson的肯塔基工作室为他录音。为了用我们的虚拟曼陀林达到极致的真实感,我们在一系列广泛的发音中记录了每条琴弦和琴柱上的上下笔划。这些措施包括:
Chops,蓝草演奏的快速弹拨特征
点击,快速通道
颤音、节奏同步以及手动控制
幻灯片
倚音
扼流圈
Legato,手动和自动,带锤子和拉脱装置
所有关节都方便地映射并完全可编辑。发音设置和深度采样为您提供了细节、变化和表达,以创造逼真的表演,并将其与现场乐器流畅地融合在一起。
强大的Rosette引擎(基于Shreddage 3.5构建)在幕后工作,使乐器能够立即演奏,根据需要使用锤子和拉下装置,提供自然和音乐的连奏。方便映射(和可编辑)的按键开关允许您高效地访问其他关节。如果您正在寻找不同的音调或表演风格,您可以快速浏览预设,以试听各种音调以及替代的微动和拾取风格。
Although it originated in 18th century Italy, the mandolin has occupied a cherished space in American roots music for nearly a century. An iconic element of bluegrass music, it has also had an enduring presence in country, folk, Celtic and world music. Legendary rock bands such as Led Zeppelin, Queen, Rod Stewart, and R.E.M. have featured it in some of their greatest hits. Our aim with Rosette Mandolin was to provide a beautifully detailed instrument that would shine not only in a bluegrass role but across a wide range of genres.
Authentic Sound and Performance
For this newest entry in our Rosette series, we turned to legendary bluegrass musician and multi-instrumentalist Ronnie Stewart, recording him at bluegrass veteran Rickey Wasson's Kentucky studio. To achieve the ultimate in realism with our virtual mandolin, we recorded up and down strokes on every string and fret, in a broad set of articulations. These include:
Chops, the quick strums characteristic of bluegrass playing
Tap, for fast passages
Tremolo, tempo synced as well as manually controllable
Slides
Grace notes
Chokes
Legato, both manual and automatic with hammer ons and pull-offs
All articulations are conveniently mapped and completely editable. The articulation set and deep sampling gives you the detail, variation, and expression to create a realistic performance and blend it smoothly with live instruments.
The powerful Rosette engine (built on Shreddage 3.5) works behind-the-scenes to make the instrument imminently playable, providing a natural and musical legato, using hammer-ons and pull-offs as needed. Conveniently mapped (and editable) key switches allow you to access the additional articulations efficiently. If you're looking for a different tone or performance style, you can quickly run through presets to audition a wide variety of tones as well as alternative fretting and picking styles. |
