KONTAKT – 1,8 GB
世界上最好的钢琴之一，在最好的房间之一…… 被虐待。 为了我们自己深奥的欲望。 需要一种主奏乐器，它没有明显的天意，但有一种自然的鼓舞人心的神秘之美。 Spitfire 弹拨钢琴可能是一个很好的起点……
概述
保罗·汤姆森 (Paul Thomson) 俯身在这架大型音乐会三角钢琴的音板上，毫不夸张地说，他的指甲和手指简直就是美甲师的噩梦。 再加上 Spitfire 制作和策划充满生命力的样本的能力，同时能够组装和编写一种“开箱即用”的乐器，Plucked Piano 模块对于任何需要“不同的东西”的受人尊敬的作曲家来说都是必备的。 ”。
背景
Spitfire 的 Definitive Range 旨在为世界提供一个一站式商店，购买伟大演奏家所演奏的经典和深奥乐器。 由于所有这些乐器都是在同一房间内现场录制的，因此它们的设计目的是在声音上锁定在一起，无论是来自打击乐器系列的定音鼓还是您的 Sable 库。 或者确实是一支由 Hg20、一架弹拨钢琴和一架竖琴组成的更奇怪的乐队，它的设计听起来就像他们在同一个房间里一样。
我们提供一系列详细的混音选项，使您可以使声音变得干燥或使其更加环境化，同时保持一致的麦克风设置和房间配置的声学完整性和视角。 所有乐器都进行了非常详细的采样，但旨在开箱即用地轻松演奏，可以简单地集成到更大的编曲和模板中，而不会有对系统资源要求过高的风险。
由 Jake Jackson 在 Lyndhurst Hall – Air Studios（世界上最好的配乐舞台之一）录制，通过 Neve“Montserrat”前置放大器的一系列老式麦克风，到保养精美的 Studer 2” 磁带机，然后进入数字化 通过 Prism AD 转换器以 96k 传输：这是一个无与伦比的信号链。
特征
作为作曲家，我们总是在寻找一种“主音”弦乐器，它可以完成钢琴、竖琴或吉他的工作，但听起来不像钢琴、竖琴或吉他，也没有刻板的联想。 或者确实可以像扬琴或钦巴隆一样演奏，但没有地理联系或暗示。 因此，喷火战斗机队在从《哈利·波特》到《盗梦空间》的无数电影配乐中使用了价值 25 万英镑的音乐会三角钢琴，而且……好吧，我们把它摘下来了。
我们录制到磁带和数字，并且可以从前面板进行选择。 这两种动态——较软的指垫弹奏和较响亮的硬指甲弹奏，可以作为单独的“动态层”进行 CC 或速度控制，但也可以混合成一个平滑的连续层，再次通过 CC 或速度进行控制。
该库提供了四个麦克风位置，您不仅可以混合和混合以适应您正在处理的应用程序，还可以自动实现焦点和深度的巨大变化。 它们还可以完全输出分配用于环绕声和 5.1 使用。 该最终系列的设计旨在适应 Spitfire 的整个管弦乐经典，包括 Albion、BML 和一些 Signature 系列，就好像它们同时在同一个房间表演一样。
我们还在 Mercury Synth 引擎中加入了“Pluckospheres”——一系列美丽的有机垫、氛围以及打击音和音色。

One of the finest pianos in the world, in one of the finest rooms…. Abused. For our own esoteric desires. In need of a lead instrument that has no obvious providence but a natural inspiring enigmatic beauty all of its own. The Spitfire plucked piano may be a good place to start…
OVERVIEW
Paul Thomson leant over the sound board of this large concert grand piano and literally plucked and picked his nails and fingers into a manicurist’s nightmare. Coupled with Spitfire’s ability to produce and curate samples that sparkle with life, whilst being able assemble and script an instrument that just works “out of the box”, the Plucked Piano module is a must have for any respectable composer in need of something “different”.
BACKGROUND
Spitfire’s Definitive Range aims to offer the world a one-stop shop for classic and esoteric instruments played by the greats. As all these instruments are recorded in situ, in the same room, they’re designed to lock together sonically whether it be some timpani from the percussion range coupled with your Sable libraries. Or indeed a more curious band made up of the Hg20, a plucked piano and a harp, it is designed to sound like they’re together in the same room.
We provide a series of detailed mixing options that allow you to dry the sound up or make it more ambient, whilst preserving the acoustic integrity and perspective of a consistent microphone set up and room configuration. The instruments are all sampled in great detail but designed to play easily out-of-the-box, with simple integration into larger arrangements and templates without risk of demanding too much from your system resources.
Recorded by Jake Jackson at Lyndhurst Hall – Air Studios, on one of the finest scoring stages in the world, through an array of vintage microphones via Neve “Montserrat” pre-amps, to a beautifully serviced Studer 2” tape machine and then into digital at 96k via Prism AD converters: this is an unparalleled signal chain.
FEATURES
As composers we’re always on that quest to find a “lead” string instrument that does the job of a piano, harp, or guitar without sounding like one, without having the stereotypical association. Or indeed that can play like a dulcimer or cimbalom, but doesn’t have the geographical connection or insinuation. So Spitfire took quarter of a million pounds’ worth of concert grand heard on countless film scores from Harry Potter to Inception, and… well, we plucked it.
We recorded both to tape and to digital, and these are selectable from the front panel. The two dynamics – a softer fingerpad pluck, and the louder hard nail pluck, are either CC or velocity controllable as seperate ‘dynamic layers’, but can also be blended into one smooth continuous layer controllable again via CC or velocity.
The library is presented with four microphone positions which you can not only mix and blend to fit the application you’re working on, but also automate for dramatic shifts in focus and depth. They’re also fully output assignable for surround and 5.1 use. The definitive range is designed to fit in with Spitfire’s entire orchestral canon, including Albion, BML and some of the Signature Range as if they’re performing in the same room at the same time.
We also included ‘Pluckospheres’ – a beautiful collection of organic pad, atmos and strike tones and timbres in our Mercury Synth engine.
