Baby Audio 发布首款 CS01 建模模拟合成器插件 BA-1

新潮效果器插件品牌 Baby Audio 居然搞起了音源插件的生意,
第一款 Baby Audio 音源插件 BA-1 建模了 80 年代模拟合成器 CS01。

A Synth With A Soul
BA-1 is our modern re-imagination of a cultish 1982 analog synth that looked like a toy but sounded like a beast.
It brings you pure and authentic textures that are fast to program and dripping with color.​

一款拥有灵魂的合成器
BA-1 是对 1982 年流行的模拟合成器的现代重新想象,它看起来像玩具,但听起来像野兽。
这款合成器能带给你纯净和真实的音色质感,可以快速编曲,充满了色彩。

THE LEGACY
BA-1 is based on a portable 1980s synth with a toylike appearance and a gritty sound.
Despite its small size, it left a big mark on music history, while still flying somewhat under the hype radar.
The original has been used as a secret weapon for bubbly synth textures by some of Sweden’s most successful pop producers of the past two decades.
It was also a staple of 1990s digital dancehall and beloved by the indietronica scene for its raw lo-fi quality.
The ‘CS01’ - as the original is called - has never been properly captured in software form. So for our first ever synth, we started there.​

传奇硬件
BA-1 合成器基于一款 20 世纪 80 年代的便携式合成器,外观像玩具,声音却非常震撼。
尽管它体积小巧,但在音乐历史上留下了深刻的印记,然而却并没有引起过多的关注。
在过去的二十年里,瑞典一些最成功的流行音乐制作人将原始硬件用作合成器氛围音色的秘密武器。
它也是 1990 年代数字舞厅的标志之一,因其原始的低保真音质备受独立电子乐场景的喜爱。
然而,原始硬件 "CS01" 的合成器从未被完美转化为软件形式。因此,我们选择了它作为我们的第一款合成器的灵感来源。

THE SOUND
In keeping with our motto ”it’s an evolution, not an emulation”,
we modele the hardware with the greatest possible accuracy,
before carefully upgrading it with new and useful features.
A second analog-modeled oscillator, FM, polyphony, and more,
help to vastly expand the sonic palette of the original. All while keeping its signature sound unspoiled.​

声音音色
秉持我们的座右铭 “这是一种进化,而非模仿”,
我们以尽可能以高的精度对硬件进行建模,
然后再仔细地加入新的实用特性进行升级。
第二个模拟的振荡器、频率调制、多复音等功能,
有力地扩展了原始合成器的音色面板,同时保持了其标志性的声音特征。

THE EFFECTS
If you know our company, you’ll know that effects are our specialty.
So we’ve treated BA-1 with an FX section worthy of its own plugin.
The effects chain is inspired by budget 1980s rack hardware and captures the lo-fi charm of the home studio scene of the era.
The overdrive is modeled after a guitar pedal, while the delay,
reverb and chorus effects are based on cheap, but amazing, digital rack units.
In BA-1, the effects are not an afterthought but an ingrained part of the sonic signature.
So tweak, use, and abuse them.​

效果器
如果了解过 Baby Audio 之前的产品,会知道效果器是我们的专长。
所以我们为 BA-1 配备了一个配得上它的专用效果器部分。
效果链的灵感来自 1980 年代廉价的机架硬件,捕捉了那个时代家庭工作室场景的低保真特性。
过载效果是基于吉他踏板的建模,而延迟、混响和合唱效果是基于廉价但惊人的数字机架设备。
在 BA-1 中,效果不是突然来的,而是声音特色的内在部分。
所以尽情地调整、使用它们。

THE SIMPLICITY
BA-1 is simple, but surprisingly tweakable.
We’ve put great effort into tuning all parameters to be in the perfect sweet spot.
This results in a rewarding programming workflow where tweaking BA-1 is a lot of fun and you’ll create new patches on repeat.
And if a simple interface is not fast enough, you can always use the smart ‘Re-Gen’ feature.
Hit Re-Gen and BA-1 will automatically create new and musically tuned patches with every click.​

简洁性
BA-1 非常简单,但令人惊讶的是它还可以进行微调。
我们花费了大量的精力来调整所有参数,以达到最佳最佳状态。
这是一个令人满意的编程工作流程,调整 BA-1 非常有趣,你会一遍又一遍地创造新的音色。
如果一个简单的界面还不够快,你可以随时使用智能的 “Re-Gen” 功能。
点击 Re-Gen,BA-1 将自动创建新的音色,并进行音乐上的调整。
