日本笙 Sonica Instruments SHO v2.0.0 KONTAKT

KONTAKT – 2,21 GB

这是一种自由簧片乐器，也是三种主要的木管乐器之一，用于雅乐宫廷管弦乐队音乐。它由17根细长的竹管组成，由于它的形状，有时被说成像一只休息的凤凰。在古代，鞋子的流畅的色调特征与从天上照下来的光有关。

在完成了世界上第一个全面的采样后，索尼卡仪器很自豪地将sho库添加到Virtuoso日本系列中。

仔细捕捉每一根管子的声音。
Ko Ishikawa为采样环节演奏了这首歌。虽然他在一个歌舞团演出，但他同样精通当代音乐。通过他精湛的演奏，我们解构了乐器复杂的结构，细致地捕捉到每一个管材的声音。

该库包含许多与和弦音调和单音记录的发音：直（呼出音/吸入音），颤振（呼出音/吸入音），Sforzando，渐强，Tremolo Slow（呼出音/吸入音）和Tremolo Fast（呼出音/吸入音）。

创新的发音机制再现了乐器独特的演奏技巧
我们设计了Sho接口，以实现11个atitake音集群（和弦）的独立性能，其中多个管道同时播放，以及itchiku单音，其中只有一个管道在同一时间播放。该接口还包括独立的发音控制。

Pipe Indicator可以让演奏者看到演奏的管道排列，并监控当前正在演奏的管道。这些管子都贴上了它们传统的音符名称。当演奏十一个和弦中的一个时，传统的和弦名称就会出现在中间。而且，由于管道指示器与音阶调谐框（如下所述）一起工作，因此它对于监控键盘上每个管道的音符非常有用。

该库具有两种键模式：Chromatic模式将键映射到半音音阶，以及Trad模式。指法模式将一个白键映射到一个管道，以一种再现真实指法感觉的方式。在传统中。指法模式，将双手的手指放在15个白键上，就像盖住了15根管子上的孔。这种安排不仅让表演者在图书馆里有宾至如归的感觉；这对学习和理解乐器也有很大的帮助。

呼吸声的甚至能发出呼吸声的
这家店以其看似无穷无尽的流动音调而闻名，这些音调由呼吸技术修饰，产生丰富的发音。大多数发音在保持声音的同时从一种发音混合到另一种发音。专为重现这种演奏技术而设计，键触发连接让表演者在任何发音之间顺利自然地改变，只是在演奏时按下指定的键。

这种控制使表演者在呼吸力量上具有充分的灵活性。
表情控制使演奏键盘感觉像一个风控制器，给你访问平滑，动态的呼吸表达，尽管是基于样本。

您可以启用或禁用连奏维持时，从管道过渡到管道，而播放单音或播放额外的管道，以添加更多的音调。使用复调连奏重现了多管乐器的独特音调行为。

雅乐宫廷音乐是由多名演奏者演奏的

 

The sho is free reed musical instrument and one of the three primary woodwind instruments used in gagaku court orchestra music. Consisting of 17 slender bamboo pipes, it is sometimes said to resemble a resting phoenix because of its shape. In antiquity, the sho‘s fluid tonal character was associated with light shining down from the heavens.

After completing the world’s first comprehensive sho sampling, Sonica Instruments is proud to add the SHO library to the Virtuoso Japanese Series.

Main Features​
– Peerless recordings of the impeccable sound and technique of famed sho performer Ko Ishikawa.
– Single tones of all 15 pipes* and 11 chords sampled separately in every articulation, making the library applicable to all musical styles from gagaku to contemporary music.
– A detailed analysis of sho playing techniques led to an instrument model that allows playing any combination of the sho‘s distinctive tone clusters (chords) and single tones.
– Two key modes, including a traditional fingering mode that replicates actual sho fingering with one key per pipe.
– Pipe Indicator lets the performer see the pipe arrangement of the sho and monitor the current pipes being played.
– Comes with traditional sho Pythagorean tuning, equal temperament tuning, and fully customizable tunings, for seamless coverage of both classical and contemporary scale tones.
– Unique Key Trigger Connection function lets the performer move through a colorful assortment of articulations without ever interrupting the sound.
– Expression control adjusts tone color naturally and continuously without gradations.
– Ensemble selector simulates gagaku ensemble performances with up to three performers.
– The library’s lively yet subtle sounds sampled in full 24-bit 96 kHz fidelity (the library itself contains 24-bit 44.1 kHz samples).
– Create your own mixes with the multi-microphone samples and a dedicated mixer with individual controls for Direct, Overhead, Room, and Stereo Mix.
– NKS ready and Kontakt Player compatible.

Carefully captured the sound of each individual pipe.
Ko Ishikawa played the sho for the sampling sessions. Although he performs with a gagaku group, he is equally well versed in contemporary music. Through his exquisite playing, we deconstructed the instrument’s complex structure and carefully captured the sound of each individual pipe.

The library contains many articulations recorded with both chord tones and single tones: Straight (exhaled tone / inhaled tone), Flutter (exhaled tone / inhaled tone), Sforzando, Crescendo, Tremolo Slow (exhaled tone / inhaled tone), and Tremolo Fast (exhaled tone / inhaled tone).

Innovative articulation mechanism recreates the instrument’s unique playing techniques
We designed the Sho interface to enable independent performance of 11 aitake tone clusters(chords), in which multiple pipes are played simultaneously, and itchiku single tones, in which just one pipe is played at a time. The interface also includes independent articulation control.

The Pipe Indicator lets the performer see the pipe arrangement of the sho and monitor the current pipes being played. The pipes are labeled with their traditional note names. When one of the eleven chords is played, the traditional chord name appears in the center. And because the Pipe Indicator works in conjunction with the Scale Tuning boxes (described below), it is very useful for monitoring the note of each pipe with notes on the keyboard.

The library comes with two key modes: The Chromatic mode maps the keys to the chromatic scale, and the Trad. Fingering mode maps one white key to one pipe in a way that recreates the feel of real sho fingerings. In the Trad. Fingering mode, placing the fingers of both hands on the 15 white keys is like covering the holes on the 15 pipes. This arrangement not only lets sho performers feel at home with the library; it is also a great aid to learning and understanding the instrument.

Expressing even the sound of one’s breath
The sho is known for its seemingly endless flowing tones modified by breathing techniques that produce a wealth of articulations. Most articulations blend from one to another while sustaining the sound. Designed specifically to recreate this playing technique, the Key Trigger Connection lets the performer change between any articulations smoothly and naturally just by hitting the assigned keys while playing.

This control gives the performer full flexibility over breath strength.
The expression control makes playing a keyboard feel like a wind controller, giving you access to smooth, dynamic breath expressions despite being sample based.

You can enable or disable legato sustain when transitioning from pipe to pipe while playing single tones or when playing additional pipes to add more tones. Using polyphonic legato recreates the distinctive tonal behavior of the sho, a multi-pipe instrument.

Gagaku court music is performed with multiple performers on each instrument playing in a thick-sounding unison. The Ensemble selector lets you choose from a solo performer or a two-performer or three-performer ensemble. Additional controls adjust the balance between the soloist and the other performers and the spread of their positioning.

Multi-microphone samples
Samples were recorded in three stereo microphone positions — Direct, Overhead, and Room — plus a Stereo Mix. Full mixing control is available, with individual Volume, Stereo Width, Pan, Reverb Send, and EQ adjustments for each channel. SHO also comes with a quality convolution reverb for excellent in-instrument sound creation. The parallel output bus sends the microphone channels to individual DAW tracks for finer mixing sessions.

With the load manager, the performer can load just the desired articulations. Skipping unnecessary samples can obtain better performance from the Kontakt engine.

MIDI Groove Browser
SHO features the incredibly useful Groove Browser, that lets you quickly find MIDI grooves and drag & drop grooves directly into your DAW.

You can adjust the grooves’ velocity, swing, playback tempo, and other parameters directly from KONTAKT / KOMPLETE KONTROL.

The library comes standard with 18 MIDI grooves, including traditional songs and short phrases that showcase what the instrument is capable of. When combined with the soon-to-be-released Groove Inspirations MIDI pack, the Groove Browser gives you access to an extensive phrase bank.

Works with NI Kontakt Player v6.6 and higher!
