SERIAL 275004: RAVENSCROFT TITANIUM
A great virtual piano starts only with the best acoustic piano
Ravenscroft Pianos are designed and built by Michael Spreeman at his company in Scottsdale, Arizona.
After working with renowned jazz pianist and composer Bob Ravenscroft on a custom performance piano built to satisfy Bob's highest demands and expressiveness,
Mr. Spreeman formed Spreeman Piano Innovations to build the exclusive line of Ravenscroft Pianos, named after the composer.
Each handmade Ravenscroft grand takes well over 1,000 hours to complete which is about four times that of a factory built piano,
and each can be built specifically to a customer's requests or for a specific design or location.
275004 系列:Ravenscroft Titanium
一个优秀的虚拟钢琴始于最优质的现实钢琴。
Ravenscroft 钢琴由 Michael Spreeman 在他位于亚利桑那州斯科茨代尔的公司设计和制造。
在与著名的爵士钢琴家和作曲家 Bob Ravenscroft 合作,为满足 Bob 对音色和表现力的最高要求而打造了定制的演奏钢琴后,
Spreeman 先生成立了 Spreeman Piano Innovations,制造独家系列的 Ravenscroft 钢琴,以该作曲家的名字命名。
每台手工制作的 Ravenscroft 大钢琴完成时间超过 1,000 小时,约是工厂制作钢琴的四倍,
而每台钢琴可以根据客户的要求或特定设计和位置进行定制。
Mr. Spreeman had been seeing trends in how a large part of the piano world was becoming digital,
and realistic sampling along with ever faster computers enable acoustic piano sounds to become easier to emulate.
It was imperative for Mr. Spreeman to have his signature Ravenscroft voice captured for the most accurate 'simulator' possible.
VI Labs worked with Ravenscroft Pianos at every step of the process to sample their 275 Titanium and do tests
so we captured the perfect tone that satisfied the virtual and acoustic instrument makers both.
A priority for Ravenscroft was finding the right team to sample their piano because of the expected level of accuracy and realism.
With our detailed knowledge of acoustic pianos and recording methods plus complex scripting utilizing the UVI engine,
we were able to create the officially licensed Ravenscroft 275 library that truly emulates the voice of the Ravenscroft 275 concert grand.
Spreeman 先生注意到钢琴世界的一个重要趋势是数字化,
而真实的采样以及日益快速的计算机使得模拟真实音色变得更加容易。
对于 Spreeman 先生来说,让他独特的 Ravenscroft 音色能够被准确地“模拟”是至关重要的。
VI Labs 与 Ravenscroft 钢琴紧密合作,对他们的 275 Titanium 进行采样和测试,
因此我们捕捉到了既满足虚拟乐器制造商又真实再现原声乐器的完美音色。
Ravenscroft 非常重视寻找合适的团队来采样他们的钢琴,因为他们对音色准确性和真实度有高要求。
我们拥有关于原声钢琴和录音方法的详细知识,加上使用 UVI 引擎的复杂脚本,
我们成功地创建了正式授权的 Ravenscroft 275 音库,真实地再现了 Ravenscroft 275 音乐会大钢琴的声音。
The Model 275 Titanium was built to be a concerto piano and have power to sing over a full orchestra but still handle the most delicate passages with ease and clarity.
Sitka spruce from a 1,000 year old tree was used for the soundboard,
the action is CAD optimized to be responsive and balanced to precise tolerances,
and all string termination points are of solid titanium which contribute to its brilliance and long sustain.
Front and rear tuned duplex scale further adds to the brilliance and sparkle.
It responds with the agility of a fine sports car.
And most important for the virtual instrument, tonal possibilities and depth of voicing with the Model 275 Titanium seem limitless.
The bass is deep with a pronounced fundamental, the tenor is pure and rich,
and the treble retains clear overtones and can be as bright as you want just in how you play without ever sounding edgy or brittle.
The sustaining sound evolves beautifully over time with several notable 'blooms'.
Overall there is brightness and definition but it keeps a warm quality at all times even when it's played fortissimo in any register.
Model 275 Titanium 是一台协奏曲钢琴,具备足够的力量,在整个管弦乐队的伴奏下能够完美演绎,同时还能轻松而清晰地处理最细腻的乐句。
它采用了一棵 1000 年古老的 Sitka 云杉制作的共鸣板,
动作经过 CAD 优化,响应迅捷且平衡,精确度高,
所有的弦终止点都是坚固的钛合金,这为琴音增添了明亮的特质和长久的延音。
前后调谐的副弦设计进一步增加了音色的明亮和活力。
它的反应灵敏,如同一台高级跑车。
对于虚拟乐器来说,Model 275 Titanium 的音色可能性和音色深度似乎是无限的。
低音深沉,有突出的基音;中音纯净而丰富;
高音保持明亮的泛音,您可以根据弹奏方式调节亮度,而无需担心过于尖锐或脆弱的声音。
琴音在演奏过程中演变得非常美妙,有几个显著的“花开”时刻。
总体来说,它既明亮又清晰,但在任何时候都保持着温暖的特质,即使在任何音区强奏时也如此。
According to Mr. Spreeman, "Although our sound is very clean and pure, it's also multi-dimensional.
I strive for multiple layers, or demensions, of complex harmonics that can be heard, sensed,
and felt without sacrificing a strong emphasis on a bold fundamental tone."
根据 Spreeman 先生的说法,
“虽然我们的声音非常干净和纯净,但它也是多维的。
我努力追求复杂谐波的多层次,可以听到、感知和感受的维度,
而又不牺牲对强烈基音的强调。”
A STUDIO AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Four discretely sampled mic setups, at your control
一个尽在掌握的录音棚
四个独立采样的麦克风设置,完全由你控制
When recording a great piano in the studio, you want options.
Versatility in microphone setups is needed to cover any playing style or mix without being limited to one basic tone.
Plus the microphone selection and placement in and around the piano affect the stereo image and what tonal aspects of the piano are being recorded.
在录制一架出色的钢琴时,你需要多样化的选项。
多样化的麦克风设置可以涵盖任何演奏风格或混音,而不受限于一种基本音色。
此外,麦克风的选择和放置位置在钢琴内外影响立体声图像以及录制钢琴的音调特征。
The four discrete phase-aligned mic setups of the Ravenscroft 275 accurately capture its unique voice in exquisite detail
and can be used individually or mixed in any way.
World-class mics and preamps were used throughout.
Tones from close and intimate, diffuse and distant, warm or brilliant,
all can be acheived with one or more of these mics.
Load the samples you want and activate or deactivate mics without having to unload and reload the samples.
This is the Ravenscroft 275 virtual piano studio.
Ravenscroft 275 的四个离散相位对齐的麦克风设置以精致的细节准确捕捉其独特的音色,
可以单独使用或以任何方式混合。
整个过程中使用了世界一流的麦克风和前置放大器。
从近距离和亲密的音色到扩散和遥远的音色,从温暖到明亮,
所有这些都可以通过其中一个或多个麦克风实现。
加载你想要的样本,并且可以在不需要卸载和重新加载样本的情况下激活或停用麦克风。
这就是 Ravenscroft 275 虚拟钢琴录音棚。
REAL SYMPATHETIC RESONANCES
Entirely sample-based with realistic response
Pianists are well accustomed to the aspect known as sympathetic resonance that occurs in acoustic pianos and its importance to the sustain and how chords resolve.
It binds all notes together as one instrument.
Sympathetic resonance is heard among harmonically related keys held and others played,
while pedal down resonance occurs as all strings vibrate together when the damper pedal is pressed adding to the overall sustain.
真实的共鸣效果
完全基于采样,具有真实的响应
钢琴家们都非常熟悉在原声钢琴中产生的共鸣效果,以及它对延音和和弦分解的重要性。
它将所有音符绑定在一起,形成一个整体乐器。
当保持同调关系的键与其他键同时按下时,会产生共鸣效果;
而当踩下踏板时,所有琴弦会一起振动,增加整体延音。
Both pedal down and harmonic key pedal up resonances are sample-based and not synthesized in any way.
We believe this important component of the piano's tone is best emulated only with real samples.
The Ravenscroft's multi-dimensional resonances have been precisely sampled and scripted for both types of advanced resonance simulations responding naturally like the real grand, all fully adjustable.
踏板踩下和按键踏板抬起的共鸣效果都是基于采样的,而不是通过合成方式产生。
我们相信钢琴声音中这一重要的组成部分最好是用真实的采样来模拟。
Ravenscroft 钢琴的多维共鸣效果已经进行了精确的采样和脚本处理,以模拟这两种高级共鸣效果,响应效果与真实的钢琴一样,并且可完全调节。
COMPLETE PEDAL CONTROL
Real grand piano-style pedaling and adjustability
The pedals of a grand piano must be responsive
and give precise control of the dampers by using the Sustain and Sostenuto pedals plus allow you to sweeten the tonal colors with the Una Corda or soft pedal.
Ravenscroft 275 works with a single on/off pedal for basic sustain,
or you can use all three pedals including piano-style continuous damper pedals for smooth Half-pedal control plus Sostenuto and Una Corda functions.
完整的踏板控制
真正的大钢琴风格的踏板和可调性
大钢琴的踏板必须反应灵敏,
并通过使用延音踏板和停音踏板来精确控制弱音器,同时通过使用弱音踏板来增添音色的柔和感。
Ravenscroft 275 钢琴可以使用单个开/关式踏板来进行基本延音控制,
或者你可以使用所有三个踏板,包括钢琴式的连续调节踏板,以实现流畅的半踏板控制,同时支持延音踏板和弱音踏板功能。
The Sostenuto works just like a grand piano and is perfect for triggering Sympathetic Resonance samples on notes held by this pedal.
Repedal is fully supported and a crucial function to blur phrases and blend the sustained tone if the pedal is lifted and depressed quickly.
Other options like half-pedal range settings and custom CC assignments for any function offer a level of control discerning pianists will appreciate.
延音踏板的功能与真实的三角钢琴完全相同,并且非常适合通过该踏板触发与之相连的音符的共鸣音效。
重踏功能得到全面支持,并且对于模糊乐句并在踏板迅速抬起和踩下时混合持续音色非常关键。
其他选项,如半踏板范围设置和为任何功能自定义 CC 分配,提供了钢琴家所欣赏的高级控制水平。
