沃利策、电颤琴、塞莱斯特和罗兹
Vespertone 允许您获取 Wurlitzer、Vibraphone、Celeste 和 Rhodes 的原始声音，并将它们转变为自身的抽象版本。
Vespertone 是 Native Instruments 免费 Kontakt Player 的虚拟乐器插件，与大多数主要 DAW（Ableton Live、Logic、Garage Band、ProTools、Steinberg Cubase 等）兼容。
变形引擎
通过使用新的调制方法，Vespertone 利用强大的颗粒合成算法将乐器声学样本的声音实时转变为可播放的独特数字抽象。
4合1
1.沃利策200
定制装备的老式 Wurlitzer 200。核心电钢琴信号被馈送到 Wurlitzer 学生模型音箱中，这样我们就可以录制干燥而亲密的琴键声音，并与在单独的放大器室中录制的放大声音分开。 结果是虚拟乐器中很少捕捉到的美妙声音的混合。
2. 1930 年代的电颤琴
一把罕见的、近百年历史的电颤琴，状态良好，充满氛围和怀旧之情。 我们从许多木槌中手工挑选，以获得柔和而闪亮的声音。 使用“速度”和“深度”旋钮可以完美模拟原版的颤音效果。
3. 詹科·塞莱斯特
Jenco 制作的精美陈年 4 八度 Celeste。 我们拆除了后屏幕，以捕捉每一个动作的亲密细节。 此外，我们还使用一对老式电子管麦克风捕捉了直播室的宽广立体声图像。
4. 1970年代的罗德岛
经典手提箱 Rhodes 电钢琴通过 1975 年之前的信号路径录制，以获得在众多经典唱片中听到的最真实的复古声音。
观看演练
3 个麦克风位置。
CLOSE MICS — 一对立体声德律风根 ELA M 251 紧密放置，可提供清晰、前置的声音。
铝带麦克风 — 标志性的 Coles 4038 铝带麦克风与近距离麦克风并排放置，可提供非常温暖且富有特色的声音，而这正是铝带麦克风最出名的特点。
室内麦克风 — 老式 Neumann M49 放置在录音室的远处，以捕捉宽屏声音。
板式混响 – 就 Wurlitzer 而言，我们不是向“房间麦克风”样本集发送信号，而是向定制的、全电子管、受 EMT 启发的板式混响发送信号。
身体。 灵魂。 精神。
Vespertone 包含 3 个字符转盘，有助于将核心声音提升为优美、抽象的声音。
主体 – 这是乐器的核心变形转盘。 当您移动调制轮或增加 BODY 旋钮时，您将开始听到声音从原声发声乐器转变为自身的变形版本。
SOUL – 这个表盘在不同阶段添加了一系列效果，赋予声音……灵魂。
SPIRIT – 使用 SPIRIT 旋钮为声音添加一层维度。 中途你会听到宽敞的混响，一路走下去……体验救赎！
Wurlitzer, Vibraphone, Celeste and Rhodes
Vespertone allows you to take the raw acoustic sounds of a Wurlitzer, Vibraphone, Celeste and Rhodes and morph them into abstracted versions of themselves.
Vespertone is a virtual instrument plug-in for Native Instruments’ free Kontakt Player, compatible with most major DAWs (Ableton Live, Logic, Garage Band, ProTools, Steinberg Cubase and more.).
Morphing Engine
By using a new approach to modulation, Vespertone utilizes a powerful granular synthesis algorithm to morph the sound of the instrument’s acoustic samples, in real-time, into a playable unique digital abstraction.
4 in 1
1. Wurlitzer 200
A custom rigged vintage Wurlitzer 200. The core electric piano signal was fed into a Wurlitzer Student Model speaker cabinet so we could record the dry and intimate sound of the keys with seperation of the amped sound that was recorded in an seperate amp room. The result is a beautiful mixture of sounds rarely captured in a virtual instrument.
2. 1930’s Vibraphone
A rare and almost century old vibraphone still in wonderful condition and full of vibe and nostalgia. We hand selected from a number of mallets to get both a soft and sparkling sound. Use the Speed and Depth dials to perfectly emulate the tremolo effect of the original.
3. Jenco Celeste
A beautifully aged 4 octave Celeste made by Jenco. We removed the rear screen to capture every movement with intimate detail. In addition, we captured the wide stereo image of the live room with a pair of vintage tube microphones.
4. 1970’s Rhodes
A classic suitcase Rhodes electric piano recorded through a pre-1975 signal path to get the most authentic vintage sound that is heard on so many classic records.
3 Mic Positions.
CLOSE MICS — A stereo pair of Telefunken ELA M 251’s placed intimately close to give a clear and upfront sound.
RIBBON MICS — The iconic Coles 4038 ribbon microphones were placed alongside the close mics to provide a very warm and characterful sound that ribbon microphones are best known for.
ROOM MICS — Vintage Neumann M49’s were placed at a distance in the studio to capture a widescreen sound.
PLATE REVERB – In the case of the Wurlitzer, instead of a ‘Room Mic’ sample set, we sent a signal to a custom, all-tube, EMT-inspired, plate reverb.
Body. Soul. Spirit.
Vespertone contains 3 character dials that help transcend the core sound into something beautiful, something abstract.
BODY – this is the core morphing dial of the instrument. As you move the modwheel or increase the BODY dial you will begin to hear the sound morph from an acoustic sounding instrument into a transfigured version of itself.
SOUL – This dial adds a series of effects at different stages that give the sound… soul.
SPIRIT – add a layer of dimension to the sound with the SPIRIT dial. Halfway through you will hear a spacious reverb, go all the way… and experience salvation!
