我们在特雷维索的Teatro delle Voci挑选了几位顶尖的木管演奏家。这是我们木管系列的第二卷：约翰·迪亚曼蒂·福克斯单簧管的美妙声音。
约翰以极大的热情演奏他的乐器，目前他与意大利和欧洲一些最重要的管弦乐队合作。他演奏室内乐和管弦乐，偶尔为当地作曲家和词曲作者工作。
独奏单簧管有三个完整的八度音阶，三个动态层用于持续发音，三个真正的连奏发音（连奏分离、连奏espressivo和咆哮连奏），四个圆形知更鸟用于短发音，如断奏、断奏紧音和软断奏。我们为您提供通过混合3个麦克风位置（近、中、远）来创造独特声音的能力。该脚本具有我们的发音编辑器，可以精确控制所包含的每个发音并创建自己的发音。
采样是用顶级设备进行的：Schoeps麦克风、Neve和Millennia Media前置放大器。
在开发库时，我们试图通过使用压缩和归一化来避免过度处理样本。因此，我们需要一种特殊的脚本设备，可以以非常平滑和逼真的方式混合所有样本过渡。我们开发了一个外部工具，可以分析样本并将这些数据导入Kontakt，称为动态控制引擎。得益于DCE，Kontakt知道仪器中当前播放的样本量，并将传入样本的量与之前的样本量进行匹配。最后，DCE在“雷达下”完美地工作，让用户可以自由地享受游戏并构建富有表现力的连读短语。
此外，正如您从下面的视频中看到的，该乐器具有动态发音，如重音和渐强攻击，以及由音高轮动态控制的不同连音发音。这使得我们能够创作出开头流畅、结尾褪色的优美音乐短语，或者沿途带有模糊段落的突然重音音符。DCE引擎的多功能性很好地处理了所有这些技术。
We’ve sampled a handful of top woodwind players at the Teatro delle Voci in Treviso. This is the second volume of our woodwind series: the lovely sound of John Diamanti Fox’s Clarinet.
John plays his instrument with lot of passion and he currently works with some of the most important orchestras in Italy and Europe. He plays both in chamber and orchestral music and he occasionally works for local composers and songwriters.
The Solo Clarinet features three full octaves, 3 dynamic layers for sustained articulations, 3 true legato articulations (legato detache, legato espressivo and growl legato), 4 Round Robins for short articulations like Staccato, Staccato Tight and Soft Staccato. We provide you the ability to create your unique sound by mixing the 3 microphones positions (Close, Mid and Far). The script features our Articulations Editor which allows to precisely control each of the articulations included and create your own ones.
The sampling was made with top quality gear: Schoeps microphones, Neve and Millennia Media preamps.
When developing the library we tried to avoid over-processing the samples by using compression and normalization. Therefore we needed a special scripting device which could blend all the samples transitions in a very smooth and realistic way. We developed an external tool which analyzes the samples and imports this data into Kontakt called the Dynamic Control Engine. Thanks to the DCE, Kontakt knows the volumes of the samples currently playing in the instrument and matches the volume of the incoming samples with the previous ones. In the end the DCE works flawlessly “under the radar” leaving the user free to enjoy playing and building his expressive legato phrases.
Furthermore, as you can see from the video below, the instrument features dynamic articulations like accented and crescendo attacks and the different legato articulations, dynamically controlled by the Pitch Wheel. This allows to craft beautiful musical phrases with a smooth beginning and a faded ending or abrupt accented notes with slurred passages along the way. The versatility of the DCE engine handles smoothly all these techniques. |
