世界上最精致的钢琴之一，摆放在最精致的房间里……被滥用。为了满足我们自身深奥的渴望。我们需要一件没有明显天意，却拥有一种自然灵动、神秘莫测之美的主导乐器。Spitfire 拨弦钢琴或许是个不错的选择……

概述
Paul Thomson 俯身在这架大型音乐会三角钢琴的音板上，拨弄着他的指甲和手指，简直就像美甲师的噩梦。Spitfire 不仅能够制作和整理充满活力的采样，还能组装和编写"开箱即用"的乐器，对于任何一位寻求"与众不同"的受人尊敬的作曲家来说，拨弦钢琴模块都是必备之选。

背景
Spitfire 的 Definitive Range 旨在为世界提供一站式服务，汇集大师演奏的经典和深奥乐器。由于所有这些乐器都是在同一房间内现场录制的，因此它们的声音设计能够完美融合，无论是打击乐系列中的定音鼓，还是搭配 Sable 音色库，都能完美融合。或者，一支由 Hg20、拨弦钢琴和竖琴组成的更具特色的乐队，其音色听起来都如同置身于同一房间。

我们提供一系列细致的混音选项，让您可以对声音进行干燥处理或使其更具氛围感，同时保持麦克风设置和房间配置的声学完整性和视角。所有乐器都经过精心采样，但设计为开箱即用，易于集成到大型编曲和模板中，且不会占用过多的系统资源。

由杰克·杰克逊在林德赫斯特音乐厅——Air Studios录音棚录制，这间录音棚堪称全球最顶级的配乐舞台之一。录音通过Neve"Montserrat"前置放大器，经由一系列复古麦克风阵列，再经保养良好的Studer 2英寸磁带录音机，最终通过Prism AD转换器以96k采样率转换成数字信号：这真是一条无与伦比的信号链。

特色
作为作曲家，我们始终在寻找一种"主奏"弦乐器，它既能完成钢琴、竖琴或吉他的功能，又能发出与它们截然不同的声音，避免与它们产生刻板印象。或者，它既能演奏扬琴或钦巴龙，又能避免与它们产生地域上的联系或暗示。因此，Spitfire乐队从《哈利·波特》到《盗梦空间》等无数电影配乐中汲取了价值25万英镑的音乐会三角钢琴，然后……好吧，我们用它弹奏了它。

我们同时录制了磁带和数字两种格式，这两种格式均可从前面板选择。两种动态——指板更柔和拨弦，以及更响亮的硬指甲拨弦，可以通过 CC 或力度控制，作为单独的"动态层"，但也可以混合成一个平滑连续的层，再次通过 CC 或力度控制。

该音色库提供四个麦克风位置，您不仅可以根据正在处理的应用程序进行混合和融合，还可以自动化以实现焦点和深度的显著变化。它们还可以完全分配输出，用于环绕声和 5.1 声道。这一系列的终极音色旨在与 Spitfire 的所有管弦乐作品完美契合，包括 Albion、BML 和部分 Signature 系列，仿佛它们同时在同一个房间内演奏。

One of the finest pianos in the world, in one of the finest rooms…. Abused. For our own esoteric desires. In need of a lead instrument that has no obvious providence but a natural inspiring enigmatic beauty all of its own. The Spitfire plucked piano may be a good place to start…

OVERVIEW
Paul Thomson leant over the sound board of this large concert grand piano and literally plucked and picked his nails and fingers into a manicurist's nightmare. Coupled with Spitfire's ability to produce and curate samples that sparkle with life, whilst being able assemble and script an instrument that just works "out of the box", the Plucked Piano module is a must have for any respectable composer in need of something "different".

BACKGROUND
Spitfire's Definitive Range aims to offer the world a one-stop shop for classic and esoteric instruments played by the greats. As all these instruments are recorded in situ, in the same room, they're designed to lock together sonically whether it be some timpani from the percussion range coupled with your Sable libraries. Or indeed a more curious band made up of the Hg20, a plucked piano and a harp, it is designed to sound like they're together in the same room.

We provide a series of detailed mixing options that allow you to dry the sound up or make it more ambient, whilst preserving the acoustic integrity and perspective of a consistent microphone set up and room configuration. The instruments are all sampled in great detail but designed to play easily out-of-the-box, with simple integration into larger arrangements and templates without risk of demanding too much from your system resources.

Recorded by Jake Jackson at Lyndhurst Hall – Air Studios, on one of the finest scoring stages in the world, through an array of vintage microphones via Neve "Montserrat" pre-amps, to a beautifully serviced Studer 2" tape machine and then into digital at 96k via Prism AD converters: this is an unparalleled signal chain.

FEATURES
As composers we're always on that quest to find a "lead" string instrument that does the job of a piano, harp, or guitar without sounding like one, without having the stereotypical association. Or indeed that can play like a dulcimer or cimbalom, but doesn't have the geographical connection or insinuation. So Spitfire took quarter of a million pounds' worth of concert grand heard on countless film scores from Harry Potter to Inception, and… well, we plucked it.

We recorded both to tape and to digital, and these are selectable from the front panel. The two dynamics – a softer fingerpad pluck, and the louder hard nail pluck, are either CC or velocity controllable as seperate 'dynamic layers', but can also be blended into one smooth continuous layer controllable again via CC or velocity.

The library is presented with four microphone positions which you can not only mix and blend to fit the application you're working on, but also automate for dramatic shifts in focus and depth. They're also fully output assignable for surround and 5.1 use. The definitive range is designed to fit in with Spitfire's entire orchestral canon, including Albion, BML and some of the Signature Range as if they're performing in the same room at the same time.
