Free update adds #1 most requested sound from Keyscape users
To celebrate International Piano Day (the 88th day of the year),
we are thrilled to announce the release of a special new Double Felt Grand piano for Keyscape,

This v1.5 release represents the first time that we have added a brand new instrument to Keyscape,
and the “felt piano” has been the #1 most requested sound from Keyscape users.

Keyscape 用户福利：需求呼声最大的音色免费更新！
为了庆祝国际钢琴日（每年的第 88 天），
Spectrasonics 很高兴地宣布推出一款适用于 Keyscape 的特殊新型双层毛毡三角钢琴，
现已作为免费更新提供给用户。
v1.5 版本代表 Spectrasonics 首次在 Keyscape 中加入全新乐器，
而 “毛毡钢琴” 一直是 Keyscape 用户最需要的音色。

Creating the Double Felt
Normally, the highly coveted “felt piano” sound is achieved by draping a layer of felt vertically between the strings and the hammers of an upright piano.
This softens the strikes and gives the upright piano an intimate, muted tone.
Because of gravity, this technique is not feasible on a grand piano, since the hammers and strings are situated horizontally.
The felt would simply lay on top of the hammers, preventing them from rising up to strike the strings.
Attempts to attach the felt above the hammers, against the strings,
yields less-than-satisfactory results and laying the felt on top of the strings mutes their sustain drastically.

创新的双层毛毡
通常，令人垂涎的 “毛毡钢琴” 音色是通过在立式钢琴的琴弦和琴槌之间垂直覆盖一层毛毡来实现的。
这可以软化敲击声，并赋予立式钢琴一种亲切、柔和的音色。
由于重力的原因，这种技术在三角钢琴上搞不了，因为三角琴的琴槌和琴弦是水平放置的。
毛毡只是放在琴槌的顶部，防止它们升起敲击琴弦。
尝试将毛毡固定在琴槌上方，抵住琴弦，效果不太令人满意，
而将毛毡放在琴弦上会大大削弱其延音。

Through careful experimentation, renowned piano technician Jim Wilson
(creator of the unique Yamaha grand used in Keyscape for the LA Custom C7),
discovered how to achieve this gorgeous muted sound on a world-class 7-foot grand piano.
After a great deal of thought, Jim ended up carefully cutting, fitting,
and gluing two individually layered strips of a thick, natural felt to each hammer.

通过仔细的实验，著名钢琴技师吉姆·威尔逊（LA Custom C7 Keyscape 中使用的独特雅马哈三角钢琴的创造者）
发现了如何在世界一流的 7 英尺三角钢琴上实现这种华丽的毛毡音色。
经过深思熟虑，吉姆最终小心翼翼地切割、
安装并粘合了两条单独分层的厚天然毛毡条到每根琴锤上。

Sound/Software Development
Once the acoustic piano was prepared in this special way,
our acclaimed Spectrasonics sound development team (led by producer Eric Persing)
then painstakingly sampled the instrument at our newly developed private recording studio —
which features some of the largest naturally ambient recording spaces in Los Angeles.
To complete the experience, our amazing software team developed lush new DSP reverb algorithms
that are exclusive to this new Keyscape sound.
The final result is the unique Double Felt Grand: a warm, soft piano
with the best aspects of a felt upright, but with the body and the decay of a grand.

音色 / 软件开发
一旦以这种特殊方式准备好原声钢琴，
我们广受好评的 Spectrasonics 声音开发团队（由制作人 Eric Persing 领导）
就会在我们新开发的私人录音室中精心采样该乐器，
该录音室拥有洛杉矶一些最大的自然环境录音空间。
为了完善体验，我们出色的软件团队开发了丰富的全新 DSP 混响算法，
这些算法是这款新 Keyscape 声音所独有的。
最终的结果是独特的双层毛毡三角钢琴：温暖、柔软的钢琴，
具有立式毛毡钢琴的最佳特性，但又具有三角钢琴的琴体和衰减特性。
