Product Introduction 产品介绍
An industry-standard tube compressor
There are several reasons to use a variable-bias tube compressor.
One is the exceptional compression transparency that this kind of compressor can achieve, even when pushed into extreme gain reduction.
Another – and perhaps the most common – is their ability to add cohesion or “glue” to buses, whole mixes and masters.
行业标准的变阻管压缩器
使用变阻管压缩器有几个原因。
首先，这种类型的压缩器在极端的增益减少情况下仍能实现异常透明的压缩效果。
其次，它们能够为总线、整个混音和母带添加凝聚力或"粘合剂"，这可能是最常见的应用。
Unfortunately, the original hardware is expensive and difficult to integrate with “in-the-box” workflows.
Software emulations exist but most owners of the hardware agree that they cannot be compared to the original unit,
as there’s always “something” missing.
With its unique Topology Preservation Technology, Pulsar Mu sounds objectively identical to the hardware in every production context,
and even makes improvements such as an increased signal-to-noise ratio.
不幸的是，原始硬件很昂贵，而且很难与 "现成的 "工作流程相结合。
虽然存在软件模拟，但大多数硬件设备的所有者都认为它们无法与原始设备相比，
觉得总是"有些东西"缺失。
通过其独特的拓扑保护技术，Pulsar Mu 在每个制作环境中的声音与硬件设备完全相同，
并且还进行了一些改进，例如提高了信噪比。
Improving on a classic
Pulsar Mu is a stereo compressor operating in either Left/Right or Mid/Side modes,
designed with mixing and mastering applications in mind, but also flexible enough for tracking.
It can be used for levelling, limiting, or just to add a bit of analog warmth with its emulated tube signal path.
改进经典
Pulsar Mu 是一款立体声压缩器，可在左/右或中/侧模式下工作，
旨在用于混音和母带处理，同时也足够灵活，适用于音轨处理。
它可以用于平衡、限制，或者只是通过模拟管道路径添加一点模拟温暖。
Mu main panel
While reproducing the accurate SIFAM metering of the original unit,
Pulsar Mu also provides a more modern visualization mode for fine-tuning compression settings,
representing the waveform and gain reduction both over time and instantaneously.
Mu 主面板
Pulsar Mu 在复制原始设备的准确 SIFAM 仪表的同时，
还提供了一种更现代的可视化模式，用于微调压缩设置，
以时间和即时方式表示波形和增益减少。
Pulsar Mu also offers various options that apply to the sidechain signal.
A popular mod of the original device was to add a high-pass filter,
but Mu goes even further, offering a more complete equalization section,
enabling to precisely adjust the compressor’s response to bass, midrange and treble using only four knobs.
Pulsar Mu 还提供了适用于旁通信号的各种选项。
原始设备的一种常见改装是添加高通滤波器，
但 Mu 更进一步，提供了一个更完整的均衡部分，
只需四个旋钮就可以精确调整压缩器对低音、中音和高音的响应。
Another addition is the possibility of advancing (look-ahead) or delaying (look-behind) the sidechain signal.
This enables you to take ultimate control over transients,
letting the compressor start to react before they happen, over even after they happen,
opening up all kinds of creative uses.
另一个新增的功能是提前处理（look-ahead）或延迟（look-behind）旁通信号。
这使你可以对过渡事件进行终极控制，
让压缩器在事件发生之前或之后开始反应，
从而开启各种创意用途。
How does it sound ?
Transparent but musical
The sound of Pulsar Mu is impressively transparent with a touch of warmth.
It manages transients in a soft and musical way, even with extreme settings, unlike a FET or VCA compressor.
With Mu, you can add movement while respecting the natural dynamics of a source.
声音如何？
透明但音乐化
Pulsar Mu 的声音令人印象深刻，具有一丝温暖。
它以柔和而音乐化的方式处理过渡事件，即使在极端设置下也能如此，这与 FET 或 VCA 压缩器不同。
通过 Mu，你可以在保持源音频的自然动态的同时增加一定的动态变化。
Mastering
The most classic use of Mu is in mastering: it brings the discreet "polish" and "glue" to subtly warm up any mix.
It can be used either transparently as a leveller (with long attack and release),
as a compressor to add glue (slow attack with fast release), or as a limiter (fast attack and fast release).
Using Mu in Mid/Side mode gives you another way to increase stereo image, or to curtail an overly wide mix.
母带处理
Mu 最经典的用途是在母带处理中使用：它为任何混音提供了微妙的"抛光"和"粘合剂"效果，使其轻微地变暖。
它可以透明地用作平衡器（采用长攻击和释放），
作为添加粘合剂的压缩器（采用缓慢的攻击和快速的释放），或者作为限制器（采用快速攻击和释放）。
在 Mid/Side 模式下使用 Mu 可以增加立体声图像，或者缩小过于宽广的混音。
Drum buss
Pulsar Mu can quickly create the “glue” needed for cohesive drum buss processing,
while still respecting transients – even those of a kick drum.
Depending on the chosen gain reduction and release time,
it can restore the room ambience essential for certain styles of music
especially when used as a parallel compressor.
鼓总线
Pulsar Mu 可以快速为鼓总线处理提供所需的"粘合剂"，
同时仍然保留过渡事件，甚至包括踢鼓的过渡事件。
根据所选的增益减少和释放时间，
它可以恢复对某些音乐风格至关重要的房间环境，
特别是在作为并行压缩器使用时。
Acoustic guitar
On an acoustic guitar, with a relatively low gain reduction setting, Pulsar Mu creates a nice organic groove,
while respecting the transients of the instrument.
This subtlety is useful for livening up a dull, stiff guitar track, giving it edge and personality.
原声吉他
在原声吉他上，通过相对较低的增益减少设置，Pulsar Mu 可以创造出一个有机的韵律，
同时尊重乐器的过渡事件。
这种细微之处对于活跃无力的吉他音轨增添活力和个性非常有用。
Snare drum
Pulsar Mu can give body and consistency to thin snare drums sounds,
even while preserving their transients, which are essential for helping them break through the mix.
When pushed a little harder, Mu can help you recover sustain, harmonics, or even ambience.
军鼓
Pulsar Mu 可以给薄的军鼓声音增加厚度和一致性，
同时保留对于它们在混音中突出的过渡事件至关重要。
当稍微加大压力时，Mu 可以帮助您恢复延音、谐波甚至环境声。
Vocals
Pulsar Mu sounds particularly good on vocals – especially with fairly high input and medium attack and release.
It gives them the analog-style warmth to help them sit naturally, even in a dense mix.
人声
Pulsar Mu 在人声上的效果尤其出色，特别是在相对高的输入和中等的攻击和释放设置下。
它为人声提供类似模拟风格的温暖效果，帮助其在密集的混音中自然融入。
Main Features
Topology Preservation Technology
Our modelling technology guarantees a perfect emulation of the original device’s behavior.
From the saturation of the magnetic flux in the transformers, to the precise response of the tubes,
to the effects of tiny calibration defects, everything is perfectly reproduced.
主要特点
拓扑保护技术
我们的建模技术保证了对原始设备行为的完美模拟。
从变压器中磁通的饱和到电子管的精确响应，
再到微小校准缺陷的影响，所有细节都得到了完美再现。
External sidechain
Pulsar Mu allows to define an external sidechain input, as all compressors should in the digital age.
This opens a very wide range of applications: ducking, de-essing, filtering the sidechain signal with your favourite EQ, or even applying dynamic processing.
外部旁通信号
Pulsar Mu 允许定义外部旁通信号输入，这是数字时代的所有压缩器都应该具备的功能。
这开启了非常广泛的应用范围：混音时的淡入淡出、去啸叫、用你喜欢的 EQ 对旁通信号进行滤波，甚至应用动态处理。
Mid-Side processing
Pulsar Mu comes with built-in optional M/S encoding and decoding, enabling a signal’s mono and stereo information to be processed separately with different settings.
The Listen buttons simplify the setting by allowing you to listen to Mid or Sides signals in isolation, and the modern visualization can be set to monitor only the channel you’re working on, so you always know what you’re doing.
中/侧处理
Pulsar Mu带有内置的可选M/S编码和解码功能，可以分别处理信号的单声道和立体声信息，并采用不同的设置。
监听按钮简化了设置过程，允许您单独聆听中声或侧声信号，现代可视化模式可以设置为仅监视您正在处理的通道，因此您始终知道自己在做什么。
Look ahead, look behind
This innovative feature lets you shift the timing of Pulsar Mu’s gain reduction compared to the input.
Look-ahead enables the Mu to start reacting to transients even before they happen, ensuring perfect limiting.
Conversely, the look-behind delays the gain reduction, so that fast transients can be left unprocessed while the gain reduction kicks in after them.
This opens up various possibilities like clipping transients separately after Mu has done its work.
Look ahead, look behind
这一创新功能允许你相对于输入来调整 Pulsar Mu 的增益减少的时序。
Look ahead 使 Mu 甚至在过渡事件发生之前开始对其进行反应，确保完美限制。
相反，look behind 会延迟增益减少，以便可以不处理快速过渡事件，而在其之后进行增益减少。
这开启了各种可能性，例如在 Mu 完成工作后单独削减过渡事件。
Flexible sidechain equalizer
The sidechain equalization section is simple but efficient.
You can let your mix more transparent by preventing low frequencies from triggering compression with the High-Pass filter,
adjust the response to vocals or other instruments thanks to the parametric bell filter,
and keep the influence of the top-end under control with the positive or negative High-Shelf filter.
灵活的旁通均衡
旁通均衡部分简单而高效。
你可以通过高通滤波器阻止低频触发压缩，从而使混音更透明，
通过参数贝尔滤波器调整对人声或其他乐器的响应，
通过正向或负向高架滤波器控制顶部的影响。
Low CPU consumption
We spent a ridiculous amount of time optimizing Mu to consume as few system resources as possible – despite the complex algorithms at work.
Pulsar Mu takes full advantage of modern CPUs to do more with less.
But if your computer can stand it and you enjoy making it suffer, you can always turn oversampling on, processing at rates up to 384kHz!
低 CPU 消耗
我们花费了很长时间来优化 Mu，尽量消耗尽可能少的系统资源，尽管涉及复杂的算法。
Pulsar Mu 充分利用现代 CPU 的优势，以少做更多。
但如果你的计算机可以承受，并且你喜欢让它努力工作，您始终可以打开超采样，以最高 384kHz 的速率进行处理！
