著名的音源厂家 Streznov Sampling 在第一部启示录弦乐作品发行后广受好评，
第二部启示录作品是铜管 Afflatus Chapter II Brass，巨大的超过 100GB 现在如期而至！
Inspired by film and classical music icons,
this comprehensive and no-holds-barred collection
of brass instruments grants you access to curated ensembles,
traditional orchestral sections in various sizes along with soloists,
all based on popular soundtracks while covering the classical symphonic repertoire, as well.
Consistently recorded normale and with various types of mutes,
Afflatus Chapter 2 Brass makes it easier and more satisfying to write for orchestral brass than ever before.
受到电影和古典音乐偶像的启发，
Afflatus Brass 这个全面且无所不包的铜管乐器集合
可以让你用上自选阵容的乐团、来演奏不同阵容大小的交响乐段
（无论古典乐段还是时下流行的电影配乐），
乃至可以决定是否包含独奏。
这套音色库包含了以一致的品质录制而成的「normale」标准演奏技法，
也还录制了各种类型的 mutes 弱音技法。
Afflatus Brass 令管弦乐团写作比以往任何时候都更容易、让成果更令人满意。
After 5 years of conceptual recordings and polishing,
Chapter 2 of the Afflatus Series is finally here.
Pushing the concept far beyond the first installment of the series,
Afflatus Chapter 2 Brass is a comprehensive no-holds-barred collection of brass instruments
based 100% on user feedback and the core strengths of the first chapter,
making it a true workhorse collection of brass instruments.
经过五年的统筹录音与打磨，
作为 Afflatus 系列的第二章的 Afflatus Brass 总算杀青了。
作为该系列青出于蓝而胜于蓝的一作，
Afflatus Brass 全方面照顾了用户们对该系列的前一作的反馈、
且利用了前一作的优势，
使本作成为真正意义上的「全面且无所不包的」铜管乐器集合。
Capturing conducted musical performances as opposed to static generic samples,
Afflatus Chapter 2 features several curated ensembles
based on some of our and your favourite film soundtracks and pieces from the classical repertoire.
These highly specialized and inspiring patches deliver instantly gratifying results
beyond what traditional multisamples are capable of achieving.
Recorded with different articulations and dynamic layers,
these curated ensembles are far more than one-trick ponies;
they are serious scoring and music production tools.
Afflatus Brass 有一些严选阵容采样，
是录制了经过指挥的演奏（而非固定的静态通用采样）。
这些严选阵容采样的演奏基于各位在电影或者古典乐当中常见的片段。
这些高度专业化的音色文件可以直接拿来启迪你的创作灵感，
做出远胜于传统多采样所能够实现的结果。
这些严选阵容采样合奏使用不同的发音和动态层录制，
是正二八经的作曲和音乐制作工具，远胜于那些一招鲜的采样乐器。
From a gigantic Barbarian Low Brass Ensemble able
to perform thunderous walls of brass while still maintaining clarity and an organic sound,
to 10 Phantom Horns amplifying themselves through Marshall Amps back into the room into playable,
expressive and delicate brass swells (The Chosen One),
as well as muted trumpets with vibraphone and saxophones (Noir Brass),
the available colours are numerous and required an extensive amount of test sessions
to get the best out of the concepts they are based on.
We are proud to say that we have 9 different curated ensembles
with multiple articulations as well as dynamic layers in the 1.0 release of Afflatus Chapter 2 Brass.
无论是从蛮荒风格的低音铜管群奏、
还是像打雷一样糊脸但却仍保清晰自然听感的铜管音色墙、
再至借由 Marshall 电吉他放大箱头处理过的室内十人法国元号幻象群奏所实现的
「易于演奏的、富有感情表达的 Swell 演奏（The Chosen One）」，
还有搭配 Vibraphone 电颤琴以及萨克斯管的弱音小号采样……
我们花费了空前大量的时间对这些五彩斑斓的音色进行录音制作、
以求最无上的音色品质。
我们很自豪地宣称：
Afflatus Brass 首发版内建九套不同的严选阵容采样群奏，
均具备各自不同的演奏技法与动态分层。
On top of that, Chapter 2 also comes
as a comprehensive and consistently sampled workhorse brass collection
containing various ensemble sizes and soloists of every section recorded normale
and with various mutes (where applicable) for the different instruments.
Featuring the latest iterations of our acclaimed polyphonic true legato
and a brand new user interface allowing you to customize each articulation
and the sound to your liking.
Special attention was given towards seamless crossfading
between dynamic layers and tightness in the round robin editing.
The top dynamic is a blasting fff, while the lowest dynamic is a soft pp.
A wide selection of different lengths for marcato playing
as well as playable sfz crescendo, slides, wt/ht trills, flutter
are available for each instrument performed normale and with mutes where possible.
此外，Afflatus Brass 还包含了以一致的品质录制的综合型主力铜管套装。
该套装涵盖了各种铜管乐器的各种不同大小的群奏阵容（甚至包括独奏），
包含了以一致的品质录制而成的「normale」标准演奏技法，
也还包含了各种铜管乐器的各种类型的 mutes 弱音技法。
凭借我们广受赞誉的「多声部真实连奏技术」的最新迭代版本、和一个全新的用户界面，
您可以根据自己的喜好自定义每个演奏法和声音。
我们在「跨动态分层的交叉淡入淡出」和「单音连发的紧致性」这方面专门下了功夫。
最高动态是爆炸性的 fff，而最低动态是柔和的 pp。
对于每个以 normale 状态或使用弱音器演奏的乐器，
Afflatus Brass 都有提供各种长度的 marcatto 演奏、
以及可演奏的 sfz 渐强、滑奏、全音颤音、半音颤音、花舌。
The library was edited in such a way that playability and performance was key.
There are only minimal offsets - if any - needed to get the performance 100% tight.
我们对该音色库的编辑制作致力于「可演奏性」与「演奏效果」。
采样的偏移被控制在了极端最小范围，以实现百分百的紧凑演奏。
As with the previous chapter, Afflatus Brass dives deep into the unknown, too.
Therefore, we are happy to say that the experimental subfolder is also present in Chapter 2.
These highly playable patches are processed and mapped in unusual ways
and allow you to get sounds beyond the traditional orchestral perspective on brass instruments.
与该系列的前作一样，Afflatus Brass 也深入探索未知领域。
因此，我们很高兴地说「Experimental」实验音色分类也出现在这一作当中。
这些极具可捯腾性的音色以不寻常的方式进行处理和映射，
使您获得超越传统管弦乐角度的铜管音色。
