Pro Soloist is the latest in Cherry Audio's roster of ultimate "what if?" virtual instruments.
Featuring the precision-crafted and circuit-modeled DSP designs of award-winning developer Mark Barton,
Cherry Audio's Pro Soloist goes far beyond emulating the treasured,
preset-based monophonic analog synth originally released by ARP in 1972.​

Pro Soloist 是 Cherry Audio 最新推出的 “如果” 构想虚拟乐器。
凭借屡获殊荣的 Mark Barton 精密制作和电路建模 DSP 设计,
Cherry Audio 的 Pro Soloist 远超珍贵的原版硬件,
即最初由 ARP 于 1972 年发布的基于预设的单声道模拟合成器。

Pro Soloist not only exactingly reproduces the expressive controls, 30 presets,
and the unique underlying architecture of this prog rock classic,
it breaks it out of its cage by making it fully programmable
and expanding it with full polyphony, splits and layers, a mod matrix,
integrated studio-quality effects, and more.​

Pro Soloist 不仅精确地再现了富有表现力的控制参数、30个预设,
还有 Prog 摇滚经典的独特底层架构,
它是完全可编程的,打破了旧的合成器设计,
并用复调、拆分和分层、调制矩阵来进一步扩展其能力,
而且还集成了录音棚级别的效果器等等。

Specifically, the Pro Soloist’s touch sensor controls enabled pitch bend,
wow, growl, brilliance, volume, and vibrato.
This was heady stuff in the early 70s, and the Pro Soloist proved popular with musicians
for its ability to rapidly emulate lead instrument sounds
such as horns, strings, woodwinds, and more.​

特别是 Pro Soloist 的触摸传感器,控制着弯音,
哇音、咆哮、亮度、音量和颤音等一应俱全。
在70年代初这是令人兴奋的,事实证明,Pro Soloist 依然很受欢迎,
就因为它能够快速模仿各种乐器的声音,
例如号、弦乐器、木管乐器等等。

Despite its association with progressive rock, the Pro Soloist was popular with acts
as varied as Tangerine Dream, Gary Numan, Kansas, Herbie Hancock, Patrick Moraz, Styx,
John Entwistle, Parliament, Billy Preston, Vangelis, David Bowie, Brian Wilson,
the Ohio Players, Chick Corea, Prince, and Josef Zawinul.
Most notable was Tony Banks of Genesis, for whom the Pro Soloist was his first synthesizer.
The track “The Cinema Show” on the 1973 album Selling England by the Pound
showcases many of the Pro Soloist’s presets building up to his epic solo featuring the “Fuzz Guitar 1” preset.​

尽管与进步摇滚有联系,但 Pro Soloist 在其它表演中也很受欢迎,
如 Tangerine Dream、Gary Numan、Kansas、Herbie Hancock、Patrick Moraz、Styx、
John Entwistle、Parliament、Billy Preston、Vangelis、David Bowie、Brian Wilson、
the Ohio Players、Chick Corea、Prince、Josef Zawinul.
最著名的是《创世纪》的 Tony Banks,Pro Soloist 是他的第一台合成器。
1973年专辑《英镑卖英格兰》中的曲目 “The Cinema Show”,
展示了许多预设,以及 “Fuzz Guitar 1” 预设的特色史诗独奏。

Reintroducing the Pro Soloist, Unbound!
Cherry Audio has added a dual-layer voicing architecture, with 16 polyphonic voices per layer,
that enables two different presets simultaneously,
with independent panning for rich stereo timbres and complex, layered sounds.
Pro Soloist also supports a split keyboard mode and an option to simulate polyphonic aftertouch
with a monophonic aftertouch controller for more expressive performance possibilities
beyond the standard touch sensor effects.​

全新的 Pro Soloist,不设上限!
Cherry Audio 增加了双层发声架构,每层 16 个复音,
你可以同时使用两个不同的预设,
独立声像,可让你获得丰富的立体声和复杂、层次分明的声音。
Pro Soloist 还支持拆分键盘模式和模拟复调触后的选项,
带有单声道触后控制,可实现更具表现力的演出现场,
这远远超出了常规的触摸传感器效果。
