重温经典模拟单声道合成器
两款传奇模拟合成器,兼具软件便捷性
超过 420 种预设,带来经典的模拟音色
使用预设作为您专属音色设计的起点
这款合成器于 1971 年首次面世,此后十余年一直生产,几乎没有任何改进。它被一些人视为史上最受欢迎的合成器,毫无疑问,它拥有丰富的生命力,留下了巨大的影响;它改变了人们的认知,并影响着至今的合成器设计。凭借其简洁性和音域之间的出色平衡,它是首批真正适合新手的系统之一,这无疑促成了它的成功,也使其成为教授减法合成基础知识的绝佳工具。作为我们一直以来最钟爱的音色之一,我们打造了 UltraMini——这便是这位杰出合成器先驱永恒音色的见证。
混血怪兽之心
UltraMini 是一款基于采样的高保真乐器,其原型源自全球最具标志性的模拟合成器,采用真实机器的真实电路制作而成。这款乐器的声音从一开始就非常真实,其精确建模的滤波器和效果器提供了 DSP 后端,可以对声音进行塑形和控制——仅在需要时才消耗宝贵的 CPU 周期。要使这种方法奏效,您需要构建一个令人惊叹的采样库,而这正是我们为 UltraMini 所做的,我们投入了数百小时精心进行多重采样和音色编辑,力求完美。
两个模拟灵魂
我们从 1971 年的精美型号入手,对每个键上每个振荡器的每个波形进行采样——并且我们为此进行了多种过载设置。UltraMini 凭借同样的三振荡器配置,散发出厚重而直接的模拟声音。但我们并未止步于此。2002 年,单声道合成器之王再次降临;这个版本本身就拥有狂野的特质,我们认为,打造一台 Mini Ultra 的最佳方式莫过于同时提供两台这样的设备。我们以全新的 2011 款型号为例,进行了同样全面的录制,并创建了相同的采样空间。
UltraMini 包含这两台完全独立的乐器,并配有独特的 GUI,让您可以自由选择复古或现代的风格。控制器采用易于理解的布局,分组设计,操作高效直观,营造出真实模拟合成器的感觉。
其他功能包括模拟建模滤波器、振幅和滤波器键跟随、不受限制的复音、单声道重新触发、每个振荡器的振幅、立体声、色彩和驱动控制、内置比特压缩器、移相器、延迟器、限制器、我们先进的算法混响 - Sparkverb、内置短语器和琶音器、可分配的每个振荡器、步进和 LFO 调制器,以及一个庞大的专业预设库供您探索。
REVERED ANALOG MONOSYNTHS, REVISITED
Two legendary analog synths with the convenience of software
Over 420 presets deliver the quintessential analog sound
Use presets as starting points for your own patch design
First made available to the public in 1971, this synth continued to be produced with very little change for over 10 years. Considered the most popular synth ever by some there's no doubt the instrument has led a prolific life, leaving a massive wake in its path; changing perceptions and influencing synthesizer design to this day. With a striking balance of simplicity and sonic range it was one of the first real novice-friendly systems, a factor that surely contributed to its success and also made it a superb tool for teaching the basics of subtractive synthesis. Being one of our favorite sounds of all-time, we create the UltraMini - a testimony to the timeless sound of a luminary synth pioneer.
Heart of a Hybrid Monster
UltraMini is a high fidelity sample-based instrument based on the most iconic analog synths in the world, produced using real circuits from the real machines. The sound of the instrument is authentic from the start, with accurately modeled filters and effects providing a DSP backend to allow shaping and control of the sound–spending precious CPU cycles only where they're needed. For this approach to work you need to build an amazing library of samples, and this is exactly what we've done for UltraMini, with hundreds of man-hours spent meticulously multisampling and editing the sounds to perfection.
Two Analog Souls
We started with the beautiful 1971 model, sampling every waveform of every oscillator across every key - and we did this for multiple overdrive settings. UltraMini seeps with a thick and immediate analog sound produced with the same 3-oscillator configuration. But we didn't stop there. In 2002 the king of mono synth had a second coming; this version has its own wild character and we figured, what better way to make a Mini ultra than to give you two of them. Taking the new 2011 model, we performed the same comprehensive session creating an identical sample footprint.
UltraMini includes both of these fully-independent instruments with uniquely skinned GUIs, giving you the choice of vintage or modern flavors. Controls are presented in an easy-to-understand layout, grouped for efficient and intuitive operation eliciting the feel of a real analog synth.
Additional features include analog-modeled filters, amplitude and filter key-follow, unrestricted polyphony, mono retrigger, per-oscillator amplitude, stereo, color and drive control, a built-in bit-crusher, phaser, delay, limiter, our advanced algorithmic reverb - Sparkverb, built-in phraser and arpeggiator assignable per-oscillator, step and LFO modulators and a huge library of expertly crafted presets to explore. |
