PX Apollo 基于 70 年代早期的一款罕见合成器原型，目前已知仅存 2 台。这款乐器是一个最终被放弃的大型项目的一部分，也是世界上第一台也是最多产的复音模拟合成器的前身。这款乐器的声音可谓丰富、温暖和超现实，在当时具有非凡的可演奏性，具有速度灵敏度和性能界面，而其 71 复音结构预示着合成器设计即将发生范式转变，并将在接下来的十年中飙升。 PX Apollo 项目代表了在多个层面上的巨大努力和对质量的承诺。由于设计时可用的组件，早期的复音合成器特别容易出现故障，需要持续维护。用于 PX Apollo 的设备也不例外，最初无法运行，需要进行巨大的修复工作，并且不惜一切代价确保完全真实和原始功能。 修复完成后，我们开始尽可能准确地记录这件历史悠久的乐器。我们用最好的硬件创建了一个庞大的主样本目录。每个键都以多种配置进行采样，每个音符都创建了 4 个循环。由此产生的 PX Apollo 音库包含 4,000 多个样本。我们的音效设计团队从这个库中制作了 150 多个补丁，提供了一系列精彩的即用型补丁。 PX Apollo 的用户界面灵感来自原始硬件的美学，而布局和控制模式旨在提供直观和高效的使用，同时最大限度地提高灵活性，允许快速编辑预设声音并通过全套合成工具和效果进行深度定制，包括 3 个振荡器、包络发生器、高质量滤波器、音高和立体声控制以及每个振荡器的调制和琶音。 PX Apollo is based on a rare synthesizer prototype from the early ‘70s of which only 2 are known to exist. Part of a larger project that was eventually abandoned, this instrument was the precursor to one of the world’s first and most prolific polyphonic analog synthesizers. With a sound that can be described as rich, warm and surreal, this instrument was extraordinarily playable for the time, sporting velocity sensitivity and a performance interface, while its polyphonic 71-voice architecture signaled the coming paradigm shift in synthesizer design that would soar during the following decade. The PX Apollo project represents an enormous effort and commitment to quality on many levels. Due to the components available at the time of their design, early polyphonic synthesizers were and remain particularly susceptible to failure and require continued maintenance. The unit used for PX Apollo was no exception, initially inoperable it required a tremendous restoration effort and no expense was spared to ensure complete authenticity and original functionality. With the restoration complete we set about to document this historic instrument as accurately as possible. We created a huge master sample catalogue with the best hardware available. Each key was sampled in a multitude of configurations and for each 4 round-robins were created per note. The resulting PX Apollo sound bank consists of over 4,000 samples. From this library over 150 patches were made by our sound design team, delivering a fantastic collection of ready-to-play patches. The UI for PX Apollo was inspired by the aesthetics of the original hardware, while the layout and control schema were designed to provide intuitive and efficient use while maximizing flexibility, allowing for both quick edits to preset sounds and deep customization by way of a full compliment of synthesis tools and effects including 3 oscillators, envelope generators, high-quality filters, pitch and stereo controls and per-oscillator modulation and arpeggiation. |
