The harp is a supremely beautiful instrument that is also very complex.
Even some of the greatest classical composers often found it difficult
to write for the harp and its multi-faceted possibilities.
The instrument is equally challenging to play.
It’s almost impossible to master a demanding piece just by sight-reading,
requiring adequate time to prepare and work out the pedaling.
On the other hand, a harp can achieve sounds no other instrument can approach,
particularly in the hands of a master player in an ideal acoustic environment.
竖琴是一种极其优美的乐器，但也非常复杂。
即使是一些最伟大的古典作曲家，也常常发现很难，
为竖琴及其多方面的可能性进行创作。
竖琴的演奏同样具有挑战性。
仅靠视奏几乎不可能掌握一首高难度的作品，
需要足够的时间来准备和练习踏板。
另一方面，竖琴可以演奏出其他乐器无法达到的音色，
尤其是在理想的声学环境中，由大师级演奏家演奏。
Enter the Synchron Harp Player.
In Chromatic Mode you can play the harp just like any other keyed instrument.
In Pedal Mode the software recreates the pedaling mechanism and the scale possibilities of a real harp.
The harp’s seven strings of each octave are represented by the white keys of the keyboard.
Thus, playing a glissando is as easy as gliding your fingers over the white keys
as you would on a real harp’s strings.
Synchron 竖琴播放器十分强大。
在半音阶模式下，你可以像演奏其他有键乐器一样演奏竖琴，
在踏板模式下，软件将重现真实竖琴的踏板机制和音阶可能性。
键盘上的白键代表竖琴每个八度的七根弦，
因此，就像在真正的竖琴琴弦上滑动一样简单。
Pedal Mode
To control the seven harp pedals in Pedal Mode,
there are seven function keys (key switches),
with key velocity determining the top, middle and bottom position of each pedal.
There are also several additional ways to select pedalizations.
You can use separate key switches to access pre-configured tonalities (C, C#, D, etc.),
specify the scale family (major/minor, 7th chord, whole tone, pentatonic)
and the scale variant (major, melodic minor, harmonic major, harmonic minor).
A Pedal Matrix that holds 144 pre-configured scales
and their pedalizations can also be accessed using key switches.
You can also create your own pedalizations and use a stepper when playing live,
similar to the stepper of an organ for switching through registrations, one after the other.
踏板模式
在踏板模式下控制七个竖琴踏板，
有七个功能键（按键开关），
按键力度决定每个踏板的上、中、下位置。
此外，还有几种选择踏板化的方法。
使用单独的按键开关来访问预先配置的音调（C、C#、D 等），
指定音阶系列（大调/小调、七和弦、全音、五声），
以及音阶变体（大调、旋律小调、和声大调、和声小调）。
踏板矩阵包含 144 个预先配置的音阶，
以及可以通过切换键来实现踏板功能。
用户还能创建自己的踏板，并在现场演奏时使用步进器，
类似于风琴，可以一个接一个地切换音域。
Since the Pedal Mode only uses white keys to play notes,
all the black keys are available to function as key switches
for accessing the pedalizations in whatever way you prefer while composing or playing live.
由于踏板模式只使用白键演奏音符，
所有黑键都可用作按键开关，
用于在作曲或现场演奏时以任何方式访问踏板。
What’s more, everything you do in the software player can be done on a real harp,
so rest assured that your composition can be performed on the actual instrument,
as long as you keep in mind the time constraints of real pedal operation.
The user interface of the Synchron Harp Player even depicts harp pedal diagrams
that are used to notate proper pedalization in a score.
此外，软件播放器上所做的一切都可以在真正的竖琴上实现，
所以请放心，你的作品可以在真正的乐器上演奏，
只要你牢记实际踏板操作的时间限制。
Synchron 竖琴播放器的用户界面甚至还描绘了竖琴踏板示意图，
用于在乐谱中标注正确的踏板。
Chromatic Mode
In Chromatic Mode, only the general key switches to change articulations,
the release of a note (ringing or damped), and the switch to Pedal Mode are available.
So when you play the harp like a piano,
you may quickly want to switch to Pedal Mode for playing glissandos on the white keys,
and back again to Chromatic Mode.
半音阶模式
在半音阶模式下，只有一般的键位切换可以改变技法，
音符的释放（振铃或阻尼），以及切换到踏板模式。
因此，当你像弹钢琴一样弹奏竖琴时，
可能很快就需要切换到踏板模式，在白键上演奏滑音，
然后再切换回半音阶模式。
More Control
For all articulations you can choose between ringing and damped,
the latter referring to the harpist stopping the string vibration with the flat hand (étouffer).
The ringing decay upon releasing a key can be shortened or lengthened using release control.
Dynamic range control reduces or expands the dynamic reaction of the harp to key velocity.
The “Glissando Smoother” is activated automatically
whenever the software recognizes a glissando,
i.e., the quick succession of adjacent notes.
更多控制
对于所有的技法，都可以在响弦和阻尼之间进行选择，
后者是指竖琴演奏者用平手（étouffer）停止琴弦振动。
通过释放控制，可以缩短或延长松键时的振铃衰减。
动态范围控制可减少或扩大竖琴对按键速度的动态反应。
只要软件识别到滑音，"滑音平滑器 "就会自动激活，
即实现快速连续的相邻音符。
Here you can adjust the attack of the notes to create smoother glissandos,
mimicking a harpist gently stroking the strings instead of plucking them.
The velocity controller lets you assign key velocity to a CC controller, e.g., the ModWheel,
which allows you to create even velocities for all the notes
when you’re playing glissandos on a keyboard.
在这里，可以调整音符的启动力度，以创造更平滑的滑，
模仿竖琴演奏家轻轻抚摸琴弦而不是拨动琴弦的动作。
速度控制器可以将按键速度分配给 CC 控制器，例如 ModWheel，
可以为所有音符创建均匀的力度，
而且在键盘上演奏滑音时如此。
Multiple Microphone Positions
To capture the the harp and the wonderful ambience of “Stage A” of Synchron Stage,
our engineers employed seven separate phase-coherent microphone configurations
to provide a broad range of room options.
All of them are available as separate channels in the mixer section of the Synchron Harp Player.
多麦克风摆位
为了捕捉 Synchron A 舞台的竖琴声和美妙的氛围，
工程师采用了七个独立的相位相干麦克风配置，
以提供广泛的房间选择。
所有都可以在 Synchron 竖琴播放器的混音器部分作为独立通道使用。
Pre-configured mixer presets provide a wide variety of tonal characteristics,
from close to ambient, from from lush to mysterious,
from natural to heavily processed with Signature Presets
such as Intimate, Solitary, Muffled, Sharp and many others.
As with all Synchron Libraries, you can mix the harp in stereo,
5.1 surround or even Dolby Atmos and 9.1 Auro 3D,
or any other immersive audio format.
预配置混音器预设提供了多种音调特性，
从贴近到氛围，从朦胧到神秘，
从自然到重度处理的签名预设，
如亲密、孤独、消音、尖锐等。
与所有 Synchron 库一样，你可以将竖琴混音成立体声，
5.1 环绕声，甚至杜比全景声（Dolby Atmos）和 9.1 Auro 3D，
或任何其他身临其境的音频格式。
1. Close Mic – Mono
2. Mid Mic – Stereo (L/R)
3. Main/Room Mic – Decca Tree Stereo (L/R)
4. Main/Room Mic – Decca Tree Mono (Center)
5. Main Surround – Stereo (L/R) (Full)
6. High Stereo (3D) – Stereo (L/R)(Full)
7. High Surround (3D) – Stereo (L/R) (Full)
1. Close Mic – Mono
2. Mid Mic – Stereo (L/R)
3. Main/Room Mic – Decca Tree Stereo (L/R)
4. Main/Room Mic – Decca Tree Mono (Center)
5. Main Surround – Stereo (L/R)（完整版）
6. High Stereo (3D) – Stereo (L/R)（完整版）
7. High Surround (3D) – Stereo (L/R)（完整版）
The main surround microphone settings may also be used instead of the main stereo room mics
in order to achieve a wider and more ambient mix.
Blending surround signals with the other microphone signals creates a denser,
more lush overall sound, even in stereo applications.
也可以使用主环绕声麦克风设置来代替主立体声房间麦克风，
以获得更宽广、更有氛围的混音效果。
将环绕声信号与其他麦克风信号混合，可以产生更密集、更丰富的整体声音，
即使在立体声应用中也是如此。
Room Mix Presets feature an excellent mix-down to stereo from the Decca tree
and surround mic positions for a CPU and RAM-saving sound
that’s perfectly balanced right out-of-the-box.
A host of further Mixer Presets is available in the categories of “Decca Tree Multi-Mic”,
“Surround to Stereo Downmix”, “Surround”, and “Signature”.
房间混音预置具有从 Decca 树和环绕麦克风位置，
到立体声的出色混音效果，从而节省 CPU 和内存。
开箱即可获得完美平衡的声音。
在 "Decca Tree Multi-Mic "类别中还提供大量其他混音预设，
环绕声到立体声缩混、环绕声和签名等类别。
