EMS VCS3是传奇的合成器,以创造超凡脱俗的音效而闻名。这使VCS3成为科幻音轨和早期实验性电子音乐的理想乐器。著名的用户包括Brian Eno,ELO,Hawkwind,Jean Michel-Jarre,Krimson King,Kraftwerk,Delia Derbyshire和BBC Radiophonic Workshop。
VCS3(也称为“ Putney”)是装在独特木盒中的模拟单合成器。 VCS3(电压控制Studio版本3)于1969年首次生产,是EMS生产的首批合成器之一。 VCS3也是最早的便携式市售合成器之一。
VCS3能够产生减法和FM合成。它具有3个压控振荡器(VCO),第三个振荡器用作LFO(低频振荡器)。VCS3具有灵活的半模块化语音架构,该架构使用独特的基于矩阵的跳线系统进行控制。还有一个操纵杆控制器,用于在演奏过程中更改可分配的参数。 VCS3具有噪声发生器,2个输入放大器,1个环形调制器,1个压控低通滤波器(VCF),1个梯形包络发生器,1个压控弹簧混响和2个立体声输出放大器。
该曲目中的所有声音(鼓和拍手除外)均使用VC-SSS-3创建
VC-SSS-3样本库包含3 x Kontakt仪器:
多样本
共有207个多重采样的“音色”。每个音色都是通过在多个八度音阶上以各种音高仔细采样EMS VCS3来创建的。 VC-SSS-3可以复音播放,这在原始的Monophonic EMS VCS3上是不可能的。
打圈机
循环机包含248个循环序列。每个音序都在键盘上从C1延伸到G8,并且经过了“节拍处理”,可以使所有音序与主机DAW的节奏同步播放。
特效
SFX是412种单点和循环声音效果和环境的集合,非常适合创建音景和特殊效果。 SFX有4个“银行”。前两个银行“ DELIA SFX BANK A”和“ DELIA SFX BANK B”是使用受Delia Derbyshire原始的“涂料表”启发的补丁创建的,并记录了她一些个人补丁的注释,用于EMS VCS3。 Delia Derbyshire是一位英国音乐家,也是电子音乐的作曲家。她以1960年代在BBC无线电研讨会上的开创性工作而闻名,尤其是她为英国科幻电视连续剧《神秘博士》的电子装置。 SFX的最后两个库是EMS VCS3的原始Square Saw Sound样本。
Kontakt仪器特点:
乐器利用Kontakt的效果为雕刻和处理原始声音提供了多种选择。每个乐器都有滤波器,包络和LFO控件,以及滑音和白噪声发生器。有一系列调制效果,例如颤音,颤音,自动声像,合唱,移相器和镶边以及一些失真和饱和效果。扬声器箱,延迟和卷积混响可以添加更多的环境和滤波,其中包含真实板,弹簧,大厅和特殊fx的脉冲响应。最后但并非最不重要的一点是,它带有一个内置的琶音器,带有32步速度音序器。

The EMS VCS3 is a legendary synthesizer that became renowned for creating otherworldly sound effects. This made the VCS3 the perfect instrument for sci-fi soundtracks and early experimental electronic music. Notable users include Brian Eno, ELO, Hawkwind, Jean Michel-Jarre, King Krimson, Kraftwerk, Delia Derbyshire and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
The VCS3 (also known as the ‘Putney’) is an analog monosynth housed in a distinctive wooden case. The VCS3 (Voltage Controlled Studio version 3) was first produced in 1969 and was one of the first synthesizers produced by EMS. The VCS3 was also one of the first portable, commercially available synthesizers.
The VCS3 was capable of producing Subtractive and FM Synthesis. It featured 3 x Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO’s) with the third oscillator acting as an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator.) The VCS3 has a flexible, semi-modular voice architecture that is controlled using a unique matrix-based patch system. There is also a joystick controller for changing assignable parameters during performance. The VCS3 featured a Noise Generator, 2 Input Amplifiers, 1 Ring Modulator, 1 x Voltage Controlled Low Pass Filter (VCF), 1 Trapezoid Envelope Generator, 1 x Voltage Controlled Spring Reverb and 2 Stereo Output Amplifiers.
All sounds in this track (except drums and claps) were created using the VC-SSS-3
The VC-SSS-3 Sample Library contains 3 x Kontakt Instruments:
Multi-Samples
There are a total of 207 multi-sampled “patches.” Each patch has been created by carefully sampling the EMS VCS3 at various pitches across several octaves. The VC-SSS-3 can be played Polyphonically, which is something that was not possible on the original, Monophonic EMS VCS3.
Loop Machine
The Loop Machine contains 248 looped sequences. Each sequence has been stretched across the keyboard from C1 to G8 and has been ‘Beat Machined’ to allow all sequences to be played in sync with the tempo of your host DAW.
SFX
SFX are a collection of 412 one-hit and looped sound effects and ambiences perfect for creating soundscapes and special effects. There are 4 ‘banks’ of SFX. The first two banks “DELIA SFX BANK A” and “DELIA SFX BANK B” were created using patches inspired by Delia Derbyshire’s original ‘dope sheets’ and recording notes from some of her personal patches for the EMS VCS3. Delia Derbyshire was an English musician and composer of electronic music. She is best known for her pioneering work with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop during the 1960’s, particularly her electronic arrangement for the British science-fiction television series, Doctor Who. The last two banks of SFX are original Square Saw Sound samples of the EMS VCS3.
The Kontakt Instrument Features:
The instruments utilise Kontakt’s effects to offer a wide range of options for sculpting and manipulating the raw sounds. Each instrument has filter, envelope and LFO controls as well as portamento and a white noise generator. There is a collection of modulation effects such as vibrato, tremolo, autopan, chorus, phaser and flanger as well as several distortion and saturation effects. Further ambience and filtering can be added with the speaker cabinet, delay and convolution reverb, which contains impulse responses of real plates, springs, halls and special fx. Last but not least, there is a built in arpeggiator with a 32 step velocity sequencer.
