Rhapsody的目标:管弦乐打击乐无非就是创建有史以来功能最全,价格最便宜的打击乐库。拥有50种乐器,超过100种清晰度,以及21GB以上的原始录音,称此收藏为“全面”是一种轻描淡写。每种乐器都经过了多达10倍的RR和5倍的速度层的详尽采样,并在华丽的管弦乐大厅的三个麦克风位置上进行了捕获。
狂想曲:管弦乐打击乐超越了标准的鼓组(例如大鼓,军鼓,汤姆斯,片),包括了各种各样的辅助打击乐(例如,摇床,雪橇铃,响板,钟声,金属,木材和庙宇),手鼓(非洲鼓,邦戈鼓,卡洪,达布卡)和彩色乐器(钟琴,木琴,马林巴琴,鳄鱼,管状铃铛)。
除了范围和负担能力外,还有什么使该库与众不同?大多数管弦乐打击乐图书馆都通过大厅和大量混响来争取“史诗般”的理想:巨大的声音,巨大的代价。狂想曲:管弦乐打击乐被录制并设计成可以在任何音乐环境中使用,从小的情感片段到紧张的下划线,甚至是夸张的,响亮的,甚至是史诗般的曲目。
狂想曲:管弦乐打击乐具有多种通用功能,具有三个用户可混合的麦克风位置:关,舞台(十进)和大厅。封闭的麦克风提供干燥,当前和中性的声音,并带有一丝空气-非常适合小型合奏和轻松的计分。舞台和大厅的麦克风可为可爱的大厅提供自然但不压倒性的混响和空间。
Rhapsody中的每个麦克风位置都可以通过音量,平移,立体声宽度和偏移控制进行完全自定义,也可以完全禁用以保留内存。无论您的目标是紧紧而集中的打击乐部分,还是轰轰烈烈的史诗般的节奏,狂想曲都能提供自然而又“诚实”的声音,适用于任何作品。
制作乐器时,我们的理念是考虑作曲家而设计。为此,我们为该库创建了一个直观的界面,可提供自定义和控制功能,而又不会过于复杂。
This exquisite symphonic collection for KONTAKT features a comprehensive collection of 50 traditional & extended percussive instruments recorded through three mic positions. With a clean, focused character that is not clinically dry OR overly ‘epic’, Rhapsody: Orchestral Percussion is highly flexible for everything from small ensemble scoring and intimate cues to dramatic & bombastic. No other percussion library is as extensive AND affordable; we couldn’t be more proud to share it with you!
Our goal with Rhapsody: Orchestral Percussion was nothing less than creating the most versatile and affordable percussion library ever. With 50 instruments, 100+ articulations, and 21+ gigabytes of raw recordings, calling this collection ‘comprehensive’ is an understatement. Each instrument has been exhaustively sampled with up to 10x RR and 5x velocity layers, captured across three mic positions in a gorgeous orchestral hall.
Rhapsody: Orchestral Percussion goes beyond the standard suite of drums (i.e. bass drum, snare, toms, cymbals) to include a wide variety of aux percussion (i.e. shaker, sleigh bells, castanets, chimes, metals, wood & temple blocks), hand drums (i.e. djembe, bongos, cajon, darbuka), and chromatic instruments (i.e. glockenspiel, xylophone, marimba, crotales, tubular bells).
Besides its scope and affordability, what else sets this library apart? Most orchestral percussion libraries strive for the ideal of “epic” through big halls and lots of reverb: a huge sound for a huge price. Rhapsody: Orchestral Percussion was instead recorded & designed to function in any musical context, from small, emotional pieces, to tense underscores, and even bombastic, loud, and – yes – epic tracks.
Rhapsody: Orchestral Percussion is exceptionally versatile with three user-blendable mic positions: close, stage (decca) and hall. The close mics offer a dry, present, and neutral sound with a hint of air – ideal for small ensembles and intimate scoring. Stage and hall mics provide natural, but not overwhelming, reverb and space from the lovely hall.
Each microphone position within Rhapsody can be thoroughly customized through volume, panning, stereo width, and offset controls – or disabled entirely to preserve memory. Whether your goal is a tight and focused percussion section, or something booming and epic, Rhapsody offers a natural and “honest” sound that works in any production.
Our philosophy when building instruments is to design with composers in mind. To that end, we’ve created a intuitive interface for the library that provides customization and control without being overly complex.
