KONTAKT – 2 GB
VAUDEVILLE AND BEYOND
Shaker Chimes也许是打击乐器公司JC Deagan Inc.创造的最不寻常的乐器，它是1900年由John Calhoun Deagan发明的。它们也被称为Organ Chimes，是最稀有的Deagan乐器之一，至今只有几十套存在。德根声称他的风琴“被普遍认为是有史以来最伟大的新颖乐器”。的确，尽管他们最终未能为自己创造重要的市场利基，但在1900年代早期的杂耍音乐家中很受欢迎。
尽管被称为“新颖”乐器，但Shaker Chimes可以产生各种优美而独特的声音。单个摇床编钟由安装在框架中的四个钟形金属管组成。编钟悬挂在地板上，并通过用手敲击或摇动来进行演奏。或者，他们可以通过自身的向心运动来回摇摆，从而产生郁郁葱葱的谐波音景。 Shaker Chimes以印尼竹安格隆为基础，但音色因其钟形金属结构而完全不同。在Youtube上可以看到该乐器的几种演奏。
为了将这种乐器的声音带给世界各地的音乐家，Antiquity Music创建了这个高品质的Shaker Chimes样本库。
古董音乐的摇铃
为该虚拟乐器录制的摇床编钟来自一位杂耍音乐家的遗产。它们的范围为2.7倍频程，是世界上第三大已知音域，是来自Deagan的定制订单。编钟已调至A = 440，可与其他乐器一起演奏合奏或录音。
我们在世界一流的录音棚The Village Recorder中采样了32个音符中的每个音符，每次采样超过30次。用来记录这些Shaker Chimes的主要麦克风是一对立体声Neumann M49。
有几种演奏Shaker Chimes的技术，可提供多种声音效果。采样钟声时，上古音乐捕获了所有这些技术。这些技术包括：摇动一次钟声，连续摇动该钟声，对它进行打孔并使其来回摇摆，提起该钟声并使其来回摇摆。要了解更多信息，请转到“规格”标签。
摇床的铃声规格：
-5 GB核心样本库-1800多个样本
-24位96 kHz采样
-5种发音

Perhaps the most unusual instrument ever created by the percussion company J.C. Deagan Inc., Shaker Chimes were invented by John Calhoun Deagan in 1900. Also known as Organ Chimes, they are one of the rarest Deagan instruments, with only a few dozen sets still known to exist. Deagan claimed his organ chimes to be “universally conceded as being the greatest novelty instrument ever invented.” Indeed, they were popular among vaudeville musicians during the early 1900s, though they ultimately failed to create a significant market niche for themselves.
Although called a “novelty” instrument, Shaker Chimes can produce a wide range of beautiful and unique sounds. A single Shaker Chime consists of four bell metal tubes mounted in a frame. The chimes hang on a floor rack and are played by striking or shaking them by hand. Or they can rock back and forth via their own centripetal motion, creating lush harmonic soundscapes. Shaker Chimes are based on the Indonesian bamboo angklung, but the timbre is altogether different due to their bell-metal construction. Several performances with the instrument can be seen on Youtube.
With the aim of bringing this instrument’s sounds to musicians everywhere, Antiquity Music created this high-quality sample library of the Shaker Chimes.
ANTIQUITY MUSIC’S SHAKER CHIMES
The Shaker Chimes recorded for this virtual instrument came from the estate of a vaudeville musician. With a 2.7-octave range, they are the third largest known set in the world and were a custom order from Deagan. The chimes were tuned to A=440 and can be played alongside other instruments in an ensemble or recording.
We sampled every one of the 32 notes – over 30 times each – at the world-class studio The Village Recorder. The main microphones used to record these Shaker Chimes were a stereo pair of vintage Neumann M49s.
There are several techniques of playing Shaker Chimes, allowing for numerous sonic possibilities. Antiquity Music captured each of these techniques when sampling the chimes. These techniques include shaking the chime once, shaking the chime continuously, punching the chime and allowing it to rock back and forth, and lifting the chime and allowing it to rock back and forth.
