采样与建模的结合
正如 VTine 和 B-5 风琴一样，我们将合成技术与采样技术相结合，在保持真实音色的同时，实现了极高的演奏性和可调整性。
这使得 VReed 簧片的重量仅为 70MB，却能真实还原 Wurlitzer© 电钢琴的音色，保留了其所有不足之处，同时拥有完全连续的响应（如果您不信，可以观看我们视频中 127 力度的示例），以及高度可调整的音色。
Wurlitzer 电钢琴有几种型号，但最著名的是 200 和 200A。这两个型号之间存在细微的差别，主要是由于簧片厚度和放大器电路的不同。我们没有选择其中一种，而是决定对两种型号进行采样，并通过界面提供选择。
纯正的 Wurlitzer© 音色，无与伦比的演奏体验
VReeds 基于两款 Wurlitzer 型号（200 和 200A）的真实采样。这两款型号均经过全面修复，配备原装簧片并经过精心调校，其精准的弦距确保了完美的采样，同时保留了所有经典 Wurlitzer 音色的特质。
我们的建模方法可让您获得 100% 的连续响应、极小的音色库（两款型号均为 70MB）以及极高的可调整性。
它还能确保构成真实感一半的断奏和释音音色完美无瑕，不会出现淡出，也不会过大，恰到好处。
颤音效果 - 均衡器
Wurlitzer 音色大部分时间都与颤音相关。
我们精心复制了原始颤音电路的形状。在原版 200 上，颤音速率是固定的，但与非常常见的型号一样，我们决定扩展颤音功能，并添加一个可与节奏关联的速率控制。
Wurlitzers 上没有均衡器，但在前面板快速访问一个均衡器会很有用。
独奏界面
扬声器
Wurlitzers© 可以通过直接输出进行录音，也可以使用其内置扬声器。
在 200 和 200A 型号上，前面板两侧各有两个小型扬声器；在 206 和 206A（米色型号）上，键盘下方有一个更大的扬声器箱体。
我们捕捉了这两种选择，并支持单声道或立体声，并且允许与 DI 信号进行混音，以便 VReeds 完美融入您的混音。
效果器踏板
Wurlitzer© 钢琴经常与效果器配合使用，因此我们创建了一个效果器面板，其中包含最常见的效果器，每个效果器都是 UVI 制造的高效高品质效果器之一。
每个效果器都可以实时调整。
独奏界面
精确调整
建模也意味着定制，您可以像在真正的电钢琴上一样轻松更改 VReed 的音色。
真正的 Wurlitzer 电钢琴可以通过拆卸顶部进行定制，使用简单的琴枕起子，您可以调整簧片与拾音器杆之间的角度和距离，或者弯曲拾音器杆来改变音色。VReed 也同样如此，只是您不需要琴枕起子。
您可以为每个音符、所有音符或每个参数使用映射器来调整许多不同的参数。
MIDI 控制
每个键盘都有自己的 MIDI 响应。
我们的 MIDI 映射器允许根据需要逐个调整 VReeds 力度的响应，并且我们创建了一个工具，可以通过分析您的演奏内容来自动执行此操作。
只需重复几次线性力度练习，即可完成所有设置并准备演奏。
SAMPLING MEETS MODELING
Just like for the VTines and the B-5 Organ, we combined synthesis techniques and sampling to achieve a high level of playability and tweaking while maintaining a realistic sound.
This allows the VReeds to weight only 70Mb and to really sound like a Wurlitzer© Electric Piano with all of its imperfections while having a fully continuous response (if you're not convinced, listen to the 127 velocity example in our video) as well as a highly tweakable sound.
There are a few Wurlitzer Electric Pianos, but the most famous ones are the 200 and the 200A. There are subtle differences between the two models mainly due to the thickness of the Reeds and the amplifier circuit. Instead of choosing one, we decided to sample the two models and offer you the choice from the interface.
Pure Wurlitzer© sound, uncompromised playability
VReeds is based on real samples of two Wurlitzer models, a 200 and a 200A. They were both fully restored with original and well adjusted Reeds, and had a precise action that allowed for a perfect sampling while keeping all of the vintage Wurlitzer sound characteristics.
Our modeling method gives you access to a 100% continuous response, a very small sized library (70Mb for both models) and a very high tweakability.
It also ensures that the staccatos and releases that make up for half of the realism sound perfect, not like a fadeout, not too loud, just perfect.
Vibrato FX - EQ
The Wurlitzer sound is most of the time associated with the vibrato.
We carefully reproduced the shape of the original vibrato circuit. On the original 200, the vibrato rate is fixed, but just like the very common mod, we decided to extend the vibrato capabilities and add a rate control which can be linked to the tempo.
There is no EQ on the Wurlitzers, but it can be useful to just have one accessible quickly on the front interface.
Solo interface
Speakers
Wurlitzers© can be recorded through the direct output, but also using its built in speakers.
On the 200 and 200A models, there are two small Speakers on each side of the front plate, on the 206 and 206A (beige models), there is a bigger speaker cabinet below the keyboard.
We captured both of these options and in both mono or stereo and we allow for a mix with the DI signal so that the VReeds fits perfectly in your mix.
FX Pedalboard
Wurlitzer© pianos are often used with FX, so we created an FX panel with the most common ones, each of them is one of the very efficient and high quality FXs made by UVI.
Each FX can be tweaked in real time.
Solo interface
Precise adjustments
Modeling also means customization, you can alter the sound of the VReeds like you would on a real electric piano and in a very easy way.
A real Wurlitzer electric piano can be customized by removing the top and with a simple nut driver, you can adjust the angle and distance between the reed and the pickup bar or bend the pickup bar to change the tone. It's exactly the same on the VReeds, you just don't need the nut driver.
You can adjust many different parameters for each note, for all notes or using a mapper for each parameter.
MIDI Control
Every keyboard has its own MIDI response.
Our MIDI mapper allows to adjust the response of the VReeds velocity by velocity if necessary, and we created a tool that does it automatically by analysing what you play.
Just repeat a few linear velocity repetitions and it will be all set and ready to play. |
