Weighted Strings 是乐器发明大师巴特·霍普金 (Bart Hopkin) 的两件令人惊叹的定制作品：加重竖琴和加重古筝。 这些手工制作的实验乐器使用琴弦上的小重量来改变泛音关系并创造出不寻常的美妙声音。 它们由木材和金属制成，具有丰富的声学本质，每个弹奏的音符都明亮地回响。
竖琴有 17 根主弦，以及 3 根额外的弦，它们穿过狭窄的琴颈并可以按动。 七弦琴琴弦上的配重经过精心放置，可突出地发出八度泛音。 古筝有 34 根半音阶主弦。 与七弦琴不同，这些琴弦上的配重并不是为了发出任何特定的泛音而放置的。 因此，泛音配方是高度不和谐和随机的，每根弦都有所不同，具有高度不和谐的音质。
我们忠实地采样了从这些乐器中可以得到的每一个有趣的声音，具有三个立体声麦克风位置：关闭、房间和接触。 我们还提供了多种自定义 FX 预设和大量我们标志性的声音设计环境内容，这些内容是根据原始声源精心制作的，为您提供完全的创作自由。
内容
Kontakt 界面包括一套自动化就绪的声音塑造控件，为您提供全面的创作灵活性。 您可以控制增强、起音、释放、偏移、颤音、滤波器、音高（粗略和精细）、发音切换、交叉淡入淡出和分层等等。
该库配备了适应性强的 LFO 系统，具有可选择的 LFO 形状、调制目标参数、速度、强度、速度同步和淡入时间。 您还可以应用您选择的 12 个低通、高通和 FX 滤波器，以及可分配的调制目标，例如力度、调制轮、表情、触后、键位置和步进音序器表控制。 我们的可定制琶音器提供力度表并控制琶音方向、定时、摆动、随机化和持续时间。 我们提供了调性和音阶锁定系统，可将您的音符限制为常用音阶和调性，以便轻松创作旋律和现场表演。
该接口由我们的模块化 FX 机架面板完善，具有 27 个不同的 DSP 效果模块，您可以按照您希望的任何顺序将其分配到 8 个可用插槽中的任何一个中。 您会发现经典的移相器、镶边器、延迟器、失真器、放大器和驾驶室模拟器、压缩器、均衡器、旋转器等等。 混响效果包括我们最喜欢的卷积混响脉冲响应，包括 99 个不同的房间、大厅、室内和室外环境，再加上另外 40 个自定义 FX 脉冲，可从根本上改变声音并打开全新的音乐可能性世界。 我们添加了大量 FX 机架链工厂预设来帮助您入门！

Weighted Strings is a set of two amazing custom creations from the mind of master instrument inventor Bart Hopkin: The Weighted Lyre and Weighted Zither. These handcrafted experimental instruments use small weights on the strings to alter overtone relationships and create unusual, beautiful sounds. Made of wood and metal, they have a richly acoustic essence that resounds brightly through each plucked note.
The Lyre has 17 main strings, as well as three additional strings that run over a narrow neck and can be fretted. The weights on the Lyre strings are carefully placed to prominently bring out an octave overtone. The Zither has 34 chromatically tuned main strings. Unlike the Lyre, the weights on these strings are not placed to bring out any particular overtones. As a result, the overtone recipes are highly inharmonic and random, varying from string to string, with highly inharmonic tone qualities.
We’ve faithfully sampled every interesting sound we could get out of these instruments, with three stereo mic positions: Close, Room, & Contact. We’ve also included a wide selection of custom FX presets and plenty of our signature sound-designed ambient content, crafted from the raw acoustic source to give you complete creative freedom.
CONTENTS
The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. You have control over swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse & fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering, and so much more.
This library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. We’ve included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance.
The interface is rounded-out by our modular FX rack panel, with 27 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 8 available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The Reverb effect includes our favorite convolution reverb impulse responses, including 99 different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, plus another 40 custom FX impulses to radically transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility. We’ve added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started!
