Product Introduction 产品介绍
Lost Soul -- Chinese Xiao Virtual Instruments
Xiao is a Chinese vertically-played membrane-less wind instrument made of the bamboo trunk.
With Xiao's grave and lower sound, it is traditionally presented in aulic or ritual music.
ln contemporary works, Xiao is commonly used in Chinese-fantastic topics.
Though the pieces of Xiao are usually slow and smooth, it is also good at presenting fierce emotions by airflow-attack and vibrato.
千里 -- 中国洞箫虚拟乐器
洞萧是中国的一种竖吹的无膜管乐器，用竹子制成。
洞萧具有严肃而低沉的音色，传统上常在宫廷或宗教音乐中演奏。
在当代作品中，洞萧常被用于中国传统幻想题材的音乐中。
虽然洞萧的曲目通常较缓慢柔和，但通过气流冲击和颤音，它也能表现出激烈的情感。
There are three primary variants of Xiao: Dongxiao is what we present in Lost Soul, which is the most commonly used one;
Nanxiao, with a deeper sound, appears widely in southern China;
compare with the previous two,Qinxiao has a sweeter sound and is specifically used in accompany with Gugin (a plucked 7-string instrument）.
洞萧有三种主要的变体：其中东萧是千里中展示的版本，是最常见的一种；
南萧音色更深沉，广泛出现在中国南部；
而与前两种相比，秦萧音色更为甜美，特别用于与古琴（一种七弦弹拨乐器）伴奏。

Adjustable Sound Field
When samples were recorded, 5 different microphones were used with different positions to capture the spatial and reverb characteristics of Xiao.
All these channels were mixed down to four channels: Yin, Yang and far stereo.
The volumes of these four channels were adjustable in software, making it possible to obtain most various tone.
声场
在录制样本时，使用了 5 支不同摆位的麦克风来捕捉洞箫的空间和混响特性。
所有这些在叠轨时将它们混合成了阴、阳、远场立体声共四声道。
这四个声道的音量可通过软件进行调节，从而获得各种不同的音色。
Performances
By controlling airflow and finger, Xiao has a very rich set of performances
such as attack, mordent, finger pole popping, trill, vibrato, staccato and gliss.
All these performances can be triggered in Lost Soul software, making it most adjustable Xiao virtual instrument.
演奏技法
通过对气流和手指的控制，洞箫具有非常丰富的表现形式，
如：冲击、波音、指颤音、颤音、震音、顿音和滑音。
所有这些演奏都可以在千里中触发，因此洞箫虚拟乐器的可调节性最强。
Realistic Expressions
Lost Soul has real-recorded expressions that are freely controllable.
With the control of MIDI CC, it can express tone changes like a real Xiao performance.
真实的演奏表情
千里具有可自由控制的真实录制的演奏表情。
通过 MIDI CC 控制，它可以产生真实的洞箫吹奏时才具有的声音强弱变化。
Gliss
With two different speeds of real-recorded gliss samples and sample synthesis technique,
Lost Soul can perform gliss at freely adjustable speed.
滑音
通过两种不同速度的真实录制滑音采样和采样合成技术，
千里可以自由调节滑音速度。
Self-developed Vibrato Engine
Real-sample-based LFO engine making Lost Soul performs vibrato that is both realistic and adjustable.
独创的颤音引擎
基于真实采样的 LFO 引擎让千里可以实现真实且可调的颤音。
Sampling Engine
Self-developed sampling engine with better sound quality,
more powerful disk buffer streaming/sampling compression technology, and brand-new sound fusion technology.
采样引擎
自主开发的采样引擎，有更好的音质，
更强大的磁盘缓冲流/采样压缩技术和全新的音色融合技术。
Legato
We recorded the sound between legato notes in three speeds, and apply them according to playing speed in software.
In addition, we recorded “regular legato","popping legato" and "wuxia style legato" that are specific in Chinese Xiao.
连奏
我们用三种速度记录了音与音之间连接的声音，并在千里中根据演奏速度加以应用。
此外，我们还记录了中国洞箫特有的 "普通连奏"、"打音连奏"和"武侠风格"连奏。
Abundant sound effects
We summarized and screened 8 techniques of Xiao,
including traditional performance techniques, film and television soundtracks,
and special techniques commonly used in Chinese ancient style songs,
just to preserve the natural talent of Xiao to the greatest extent.
丰富的音效
我们总结并筛选了洞箫的 8 种技巧，
包括传统的演奏技法、影视电视配乐中常用的技巧，
以及中国古风歌曲中常见的特殊技巧，
旨在最大程度地保留洞箫这种乐器的自然才华。
Self-developed spectrum fusion legato technology
Real-recorded legato samples can enhance the realism of legato instruments,
but the conjugate part by naive cross-fade algorithm of two samples would induce phase-cancellation problems.
In order to better cohesive legato performance, we developed the "spectrum fusion legato" technology.
When necessarv, frequency domain fusion is used instead of time domain cross-fade to create transition part between samples, which improves the smoothness of the connection.
自主研发的频谱融合连奏技术
真实录制的连奏技法可以更好的加强连奏乐器的真实感，
但通过简单的的交叉淡化的方式将两个采样连接在一起会产生相位抵消问题。
为了更好地链接连奏采样，三体团队自主研发了 "频谱融合连奏 "技术。
必要时，使用频域融合来代替时域交叉淡化来进行采样之间的过渡，从而提高连接的平滑度。
Convolution reverb
At the beginning of Chinese Traditional series development,
we started to record the convolution reverb samples from spectacular places, famous natural and historical heritages in China.
Thus you can simulate Lost Soul being played at the Great Wall or Terracotta Army site.
卷积混响
在中国传统系列开发之初，
我们就开始录制来自中国壮观景点、著名自然和历史遗产的卷积混响采样。
因此，你可以模拟在长城或兵马俑使用千里。
