Unfiltered Audio 新开发的 Needlepoint 插件利用完全可调整的物理建模引擎在黑胶仿真方面掀起了一场革命。
Unfiltered Audio Needlepoint 被许为“黑胶仿真的革命”。这当然是一句引人注目的营销术语，是否真实仍需要详细的测试。Needlepoint 与无数的黑胶模拟插件不同，它依靠的是物理建模而不是采样。开发者希望通过一个特殊的引擎来实现这一目标。
物理建模可以通过实时合成来仿真特性乃至最后的细节。在这个项目中，开发人员使用该技术来复制唱片和播放器的状况，包括可能存在的任何污垢或划痕。
Unfiltered Audio 在控制能力上也毫不吝啬。你可以精确的调整 Needlepoint 的引擎的各个方面。
与经典黑胶仿真的一个显著区别是可以自由设置速度（通常是 33 1/3 这样的转速……）。你甚至可以将它与你的 DAW 进行速度同步。Needlepoint 还提供了一个旋转功能，允许你创建停止/启动效果。然后，还有一个破坏按钮，可以产生不可预知的、真实的循环效果。
当然，你可以精确地调整最终效果的声音特点，将其注入你输入的信号当中。在左边，你可以设置录音的增益和老化，并应用哇音和抖动。然后，灰尘和噪音部分给你更深入的调整选项。除了各种参数，每个部分还为你提供了一个单独的滤波阶段，以进一步改变你的声音。
Needlepoint 还有一个单旋钮压缩器，仿真了基于黑胶的节拍制作相关的经典硬件采样器。因此，Unfiltered Audio 的新处理器超越了大多数其他黑胶仿真，提供了许多节拍制作者喜欢在黑胶采样后添加的第二个处理步骤。这是个睿智的补充。
物理建模保证了非常真实的唱片效果。而且由于这项技术，在仿真过程中进行非常深入的干预将成为了可能，这可能是这个插件的一大优势。我们也许可以期待一个大型的黑胶效果的“游乐场”。

The authentic sound of vinyl – and beyond. Unfiltered Audio raises the bar (and lowers the tonearm) with Needlepoint: a revolution in vinyl simulation. Featuring a full platter of advanced physical modeling technology, it offers a deep into the warm, fuzzy sound of turntable noises. Use it subtly for among the most convincing vinyl emulations available, or push the needle far past realism for some seriously warped sounds.
Physical modeling for enhanced realism
While many vinyl plugins are content to use looping samples of vinyl noise, Needlepoint uses physical modeling to achieve its incredible sounds. It synthesizes all sorts and sizes of detritus and distress on a record: hair, dust mites, scratches, warping, and more. These are not randomly modeled, but rather accurately distributed onto a virtually rotating, algorithmic platter.
Classic vinyl effects with creative, next-gen controls
Change the speed of the emulation to alter Needlepoint’s tone, going beyond conventional RPMs like 33 1/3, 45, and 78–and even tempo syncing the turntable to your DAW! Use the SPINDOWN button to create classic vinyl stop (and start) sounds. Adjust WOW and FLUTTER, and explore the BROKEN mode to generate unpredictable looping effects and cut-up, glitchy phrases. Or, take advantage of the granular pitch shifter to help you achieve a chopped up vibe without changing the speed of your tracks.
Tone shaping that’s powerful, intuitive, and fun
Beyond noise, ambience, and vinyl effects, Needlepoint includes other processors to help fully etch out your vibe. Chief among them is a single knob compressor that recreates algorithms from famous hardware samplers associated with vinyl-based beatmaking, and can even mimic the analog distortion introduced by the vinyl pressing process.
Complex processing that’s easy to control
Thanks to an interface that’s beautiful to look at and incredibly easy to use – plus an extensive set of handcrafted presets – Needlepoint will help you scratch that nostalgic itch in your productions and add true analog groove to your tracks, whether you need it to be subtle or over-the-top.
