作为建模插件品牌的翘楚，Cherry Audio 又带来了一款新的建模鼓机插件 KR-55C
这款插件致敬了经典的 Korg Rhythm 55 鼓机，结合了 KR-55A 和 KR-55B 的功能，让我们一起来看下。
Cherry Audio's KR-55C is a supercharged, best-of-both-worlds software emulation,
that combines features from two lesser-known drum machines of the post-punk era: Korg's "Rhythm 55" KR-55A and KR-55B.
KR-55C boasts all the rhythms from both models, for a total of 240 factory patterns, intros, and fills.
Additionally, it adds 200 original patterns and kits that cover a wider range of genres.
KR-55C's user interface shifts based on whether the A or B model is selected,
and includes extra pages that let this beatbox "step out" even further.
It features a familiar X0X-style 16-button layout for step-editing and real-time pattern programming,
as well as a song mode for chaining up to 99 patterns.
Cherry Audio 的 KR-55C 是一款超强、集两者之长的模拟软件，
融合了后朋克时代两款鲜为人知的鼓机 Korg 的 Rhythm 55 KR-55A 和 KR-55B 的功能。
KR-55C 拥有这两种型号的所有节奏，共计 240 种原厂节奏型、前奏引子和加花。
此外，它还增加了 200 个原创节奏型和套件，涵盖了更多流派。
KR-55C 的界面会根据选择的是 A 型还是 B 型进行切换，并包含额外的页面，让这个产品更出众。
它采用熟悉的 X0X 风格 16 键布局，用于步进编辑和实时节奏型编曲，
还具有歌曲模式，可串联多达 99 个节奏型。
Unlike sample-based instruments, Cherry Audio has emulated the Rhythm 55's tones through analog modeling.
The Instrument Edit panel allows extensive parameter editing like tuning and EQ for each instrument,
enabling a range of sonic possibilities far surpassing the original.
The Mixer and Effects sections allow for separate processing of each sound,
with features including panning, mute/solo, overdrive, flanger/chorus, delay, and reverb.
It also includes a bus compressor and limiter for master amplitude control.
KR-55C offers DAW-friendly features such as auto-sync, drag-and-drop MIDI export, individual outputs, and complete automation capabilities.
跟基于采样的乐器不同，Cherry Audio 通过建模模拟了 Rhythm 55 的音色。
乐器编辑面板允许对每个音色进行大量参数编辑，如音高调节和均衡，
从而实现了远远超越原版的音效。
混音器和效果器部分可对每种声音进行单独处理，
功能包括声像、静音/独奏、过载、镶边/合唱、延迟和混响。
它还包括用于整体振幅控制的总线压缩器和限幅器。
KR-55C 具有自动同步、拖放 MIDI 输出、独立输出和完整的自动化功能等对宿主友好的功能。
Korg's "Rhythm 55," also known as the KR-55,
was introduced in 1979 as a replacement for the simpler Mini Pops 35 and Mini Pops 120 machines.
Although all of these models were preset-only with no option for user-programmed rhythms, the KR-55 represented a significant advancement.
It featured 48 preset rhythms, 16 intro patterns, and 16 fill patterns.
The flexible mixer section allowed users to easily mute or solo individual drum sounds,
creating countless variations of the preprogrammed rhythms.
Legendary early synth-pop producer Daniel Miller effectively utilized this on early Depeche Mode and Fad Gadget albums,
where the KR-55 provided most of the percussion sounds while an ARP2600 synthesizer supplied the kick drums, triggered via the KR-55.
Korg 的 Rhythm 5，又称 KR-55，
于 1979 年推出，用于替代较为简单的 Mini Pops 35 和 Mini Pops 120 鼓机。
虽然所有这些型号都只有预设，没有用户编程节奏的选项，但 KR-55 代表了一项重大进步。
它拥有 48 种预设节奏、16 种前奏引子节奏型和 16 种加花节奏型。
灵活的混音器部分让用户可以轻松地将单个鼓声静音或独奏，
在预编节奏的基础上创造出无数的变化。
传奇的合成器流行音乐制作人 Daniel Miller 在早期的 Depeche Mode 和 Fad Gadget 专辑中有效地利用了这一功能，
其中 KR-55 提供了大部分打击乐音效，而 ARP2600 合成器则提供了底鼓音效，并通过 KR-55 触发。
In 1982, Korg released the updated KR-55B version.
This version came with a sleek new design and doubled the internal pattern memory,
to include 96 preset rhythms, 32 intro patterns, and 32 fill patterns.
The patterns and fills were also revised, with very few identical patterns shared between the KR-55A and KR-55B.
The KR-55 has been used by many artists, including Depeche Mode and Fad Gadget, as well as Soft Cell, Cabaret Voltaire, Jean-Michel Jarre,
and most famously in Joe Jackson's 1982 hit "Steppin' Out."
1982 年，Korg 推出了升级版 KR-55B。
该版本采用了时尚的新设计，并将内部节奏型增加了一倍，
包含了 96 个预设节奏、32 个前奏节奏型和 32 个加花节奏型。
此外，还对节奏型和加花进行了修改，KR-55A 和 KR-55B 之间的相同节奏型寥寥无几。
许多艺术家都使用过 KR-55，包括 Depeche Mode 和 Fad Gadget，以及 Soft Cell、Cabaret Voltaire、Jean-Michel Jarre，
其中最著名的是 Joe Jackson 1982 年的热门歌曲《Steppin'Out》。
