olafur Arnalds Stratus 是一项突破性的创新，将复杂的MIDI算法与钢琴的自然美感和生命融为一体，能为你的创作提供充满情感、动态和深度的新元素。只需按几下音符或和弦，即可为用户带来大量令人惊叹的声音纹理和充满律动的声景。
olafur Arnalds Stratus 是 Spitfire Audio 与冰岛著名作曲家兼制作人 olafur Arnalds 的第四次合作，这也同时意味着Stratus是该系列的第四款产品。olafur Arnalds 开发的复杂的Midi算法可在两部同时自动演奏的钢琴上触发所弹下音符的节奏与律动。Spitfire 就是根据这个模型开发的这款具有独特功能且高度直观的交互式创作工具。
olafur Arnalds Stratus 的主界面是一个8×8的乐器矩阵，最多可包含五个Z轴层，这些乐器包括ólafur Arnalds工作室内的钢琴与合成器 Korg PS-3100、Juno-60 ，通过演奏可随机生成动态的纹理和声景，虽然所有这些都是由ólafurArnalds亲自设计的，但用户也可以自己控制这些谐波元素的组合与发展，从而将它们非常契合地融为一体。
olafur Arnalds Stratus 的工作方式是首先记录单个音符，然后根据选定的节奏重复该音符，在两台自动演奏钢琴之间分割节奏，同时根据选定的随机量使音符在八度音阶中上下移动，当音符范围触发 Spitfire Audio 独有的Evo Grid算法时，Stratus 就会根据你弹奏音符的顺序和数量自动生成节奏和律动，从而制造出如梦似幻的纹理和声景。
Spitfire Audio 的录音工作是在 olafur Arnalds 位于冰岛首都雷克雅未克的工作室中完成的，设备方面选用了经典的 Neumann KM 83、Coles话筒和Millenia话放，从他独特的用毛毡作为阻尼的雅马哈 DU1E3 钢琴上不仅只采样了单个音符，还完整录制了由算法同时触发的两架自动演奏钢琴的多种节奏模式和纹理，细致捕捉到了其优美的共鸣。

Stratus将技术的力量与钢琴的自然美感和情感融为一体，是一种巨大的动态新乐器，它将为您的音乐增添深度，动感和色彩。该多功能工具是与BAFTA获奖的冰岛作曲家和制作人ÓlafurArnalds合作制作的，通过错综复杂的多节奏钢琴演奏网络，可以时空变化。令人敬畏的模式和谐调折射的大气云层膨胀并消失在您的指尖，根据您的演奏而展开，并立即激发出新的想法。
即时可玩且易于使用的Stratus呈现在一个定制的界面中，该界面由八个多层钢琴和合成器矩阵组成，每个矩阵都提供独特的声音体验-加上详细的自定义选项和令人叹为观止的扭曲声音，提供了完整的频谱的情感。
在与著名作曲家ÓlafurArnalds的第四次合作中，我们为您带来了一款全新的多维乐器，其基于他广受赞誉的软件：复杂的Midi算法，已编程，可在两台相同的自弹钢琴上触发音符的笔直和锯齿律节奏模式的混合。 Spitfire使用此模型创建了高度直观且具有独特功能的交互式工具，同时录制了完整的演奏，以捕捉钢琴本身深深的情感性和有机性-立即为您演奏的任何事物增加动感，并推动您探索新的可能性。
Stratus使您可以通过最简单的安排轻松创建细微差别的基于钢琴的音乐。旨在帮助您撰写音乐或完成曲目或乐谱的演奏，按住音符或和弦，并让自己迷失在独特的鼓舞人心的谐波折射和节奏演奏中，因为它们膨胀，演变并消逝于指尖。无论您要创建哪种情绪，它都可以提供从用户输入中衍生出的全部情绪-从亲密的循环，膨胀和纹理到复杂的节奏（如雨声）以及梦幻，广阔的音景。
当由Ólafur精心策划时，您可以通过演奏方式，广泛的内置自定义选项以及各种效果来控制这些谐波元素的组合如何发展。四个基于钢琴的矩阵捕捉Ólafur钢琴令人惊叹的有机声音，将它们平移到立体声场上，以真实地表示其空间中的钢琴，并无缝地融合为一个，而四个合成器矩阵采用相同的技术来创建相似的模式，以及使用Olafur的Korg PS-3100制作的惊人的节奏锁定节奏循环，以及来自他的Juno-60的梦幻群状纹理。随机条具有实验控件，可利用图书馆的生成性质进一步使Stratus的行为随机化。 Stratus的多功能性使其适合于独奏作品，并为管弦乐谱库增加了质感和不可预测的元素，并补充了我们备受赞誉的ÓlafurArnalds系列中的谱库。
Stratus通过记录单个音符并根据选定的节奏重复该音符，在两个自弹钢琴之间分割节奏，同时根据选定的随机性将音符在八度音阶上或下调，从而选择是否八度应该不跳。当音符范围触发我们的Evo Grid技术时，Stratus矩阵按语音组工作-取决于您弹奏音符的顺序以及弹奏的数量。
在一次车祸导致他无法用左手演奏后遭受了严重的神经损伤之后，Ólafur受到激励，开发了智能定制软件，可以触发自我演奏，半生成的“幽灵”钢琴-他的“机器人写作伙伴”，在花了两年的时间尝试与程序员HalldórEldjárn完美融合后，他将其整合到了现场表演中–在舞台上弹奏电子键盘，同时他的两架相同的钢琴陪伴他创造出一系列互补的音符和图案，每一次演奏每个观众都独一无二。 re：member，Stratus钢琴在他备受赞誉的2018唱片中也扮演着不可或缺的角色。
我们对情感有机物理与电子创新的惊人融合感到着迷，我们在雷克雅未克的Ólafur工作室花费了数周的时间，在自然栖息地拍摄了这些声音独特的Yamaha DU1E3毡制阻尼钢琴。我们没有对单个音符进行采样，而是完整记录了两架钢琴演奏的多种节奏模式和纹理，并通过算法同时触发，并与Ólafur精心策划。使用老式的KM83和Coles麦克风以及原始的Millenia前置放大器近距离录音，我们保留了他的独特共鸣钢琴的优美共鸣以及动感十足的音域，并由stunnin赋予了生命。
Fusing the power of technology with the organic beauty and emotion of the piano, Stratus is a vast, dynamic new instrument that will add depth, movement and colour to your music. Made in collaboration with BAFTA-winning Icelandic composer and producer Ólafur Arnalds, this versatile, multidimensional tool bends space and time through an intricate network of polyrhythmic piano performances. Awe-inspiring patterns and atmospheric clouds of harmonic refractions swell and die away at your fingertips, unfolding based on what you play and instantly sparking new ideas.
Instantly playable and easy-to-use, Stratus is presented in a bespoke interface made up of eight multi-layered piano and synthesizer matrixes, each offering a unique sonic experience — plus detailed customisation options and mind-blowing warped sounds, offering a full spectrum of emotion.
In our fourth collaboration with renowned composer Ólafur Arnalds, we bring you a brand new, multidimensional instrument, based on his acclaimed software: sophisticated midi algorithms programmed to trigger a mix of straight and syncopated rhythmic patterns of notes, on two identical self-playing pianos. Spitfire has used this model to create a highly intuitive and interactive tool enhanced with unique features, while recording full performances to capture the profoundly emotional, organic nature of the pianos themselves — instantly adding echoes of movement to anything you play, and pushing you to explore new possibilities.
Stratus makes it easy to create nuanced piano-based music from the most simplistic of arrangements. Designed to help you write music or finish that track or score, hold down a note or a chord and lose yourself in unique, inspiring clouds of harmonic refractions and rhythmic performances as they swell, evolve and die away at your fingertips. Whatever the mood you are trying to create, it offers a whole spectrum of emotion, derived from user input — from intimate loops, swells and textures to intricate rhythms falling like rain, and dreamy, expansive soundscapes.
While specially curated by Ólafur, you control how these combinations of harmonic elements develop — both by what you play, and with extensive built-in customisation options, as well as a comprehensive range of effects. The four piano-based matrixes capture the stunning organic sounds of Ólafur’s pianos, panned across the stereo field to give a true representation of the pianos in their space, seamlessly blended into one, while the four synthesiser matrixes employ the same technology to create similar patterns, with stunning tempo-locked rhythmic loops made using Olafur’s Korg PS-3100, and dreamy swarm-like textures from his Juno-60. The Randomise bar features experimental controls to further randomise Stratus’ behaviour, taking advantage of the library’s generative nature. Stratus’ versatility lends itself to solo compositions, as well as adding texture and unpredictable elements to orchestral libraries, and complementing the libraries in our acclaimed Ólafur Arnalds series.
Stratus works by taking a single note and repeating it according to a curated rhythm, splitting the rhythm between the two self-playing pianos while at the same time relocating the note up or down the octave based on a curated level of randomness, that chooses whether or not the octave should jump. Where our Evo Grid technology is triggered by note range, the Stratus matrix works by voice groups — dependent on the order in which you play the notes, and how many you play.
After suffering acute nerve damage following a car accident that left him unable to play with his left hand, Ólafur was motivated to develop intelligent custom software that could trigger self-playing, semi-generative ‘ghost’ pianos — his ‘robot writing partners’, and after spending two years experimenting with programmer Halldór Eldjárn to painstakingly perfect this technology, he incorporated it into his live show — playing an electronic keyboard on stage while his two identical pianos accompanied him to create a cascade of complementary notes and patterns, with each performance unique to each audience. The Stratus pianos also play an integral part in the sound world of his acclaimed 2018 record, re:member.
Captivated by this stunning fusion of emotive organic physicality and the ingenuity of electronic innovation, we spent several weeks at Ólafur’s studio in Reykjavik capturing these unique-sounding Yamaha DU1E3 felt-dampened pianos in their natural habitat. Rather than sampling single notes, we made full recordings of multitudes of polyrhythmic patterns and textures performed by both pianos, triggered simultaneously by algorithms, carefully curated in collaboration with Ólafur. Recorded close using vintage KM83 and Coles microphones and pristine Millenia preamps, we have retained the beautiful resonances, and full dynamic and tonal range of his distinctive sounding pianos, brought to life by stunning technology.
Ólafur Arnalds is a BAFTA-winning Icelandic composer and producer, known for pushing the boundaries of music with his unique blend of organic and electronic soundscapes. Always a keen experimenter and innovator, with musical foundations as both a heavy metal drummer and pianist, Ólafur develops chamber strings and piano arrangements with effects, loops, beats, and his own innovative, custom-built software. Based in Reykjavík, Iceland, Ólafur’s approach to sound and composition has inspired a new generation to enjoy and create modern neoclassical music.
Since his debut album, Eulogy for Evolution, in 2008, he has steadily gained recognition worldwide, both as a BAFTA-winning composer (Broadchurch, Wayne McGregor’s Dyad 1909) and as a touring solo artist, releasing on neoclassical label Erased Tapes and receiving huge acclaim for his 2018 release, re:member. He regularly collaborates with other musicians — as part of experimental techno duo Kiasmos, and releasing a series of piano and synth improvisations with fellow musician Nils Frahm.
Discover our bestseller libraries created in collaboration with the celebrated Icelandic composer: Evolutions — unique string quartet textures and long evolving phrases; Chamber Evolutions — introducing his signature ‘Waves’ strings samples which evolve beneath your fingers; and the intimate Composer Toolkit — recorded on a characterful ‘felted’ grand piano. A must-have for musicians and composers influenced by the Scandi Noir movement, looking to create beautiful, progressive, hybrid ensemble music.
