Pulsar Audio 发布基于 Trident A-Range 建模的均衡器插件 Poseidon

Trident 的经典均衡器 A-Range 被誉为该三叉戟品牌的招牌武器,横平推子让人印象深刻!
三叉戟在此,海王召之即出!Pulsar Audio 为这款建模均衡命名为海王波塞冬 Poseidon!

CONTROL THE BEAST
Ask an engineer for a shortlist of EQs that make their eyes and ears sparkle,
and they’ll probably mention an inductor-based design with a nautical name that conjures up images of the god Poseidon.
The EQ section of this rare and legendary console made the sound of records you might have grown up with:
Queen, The Beatles, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones… Let’s just say it’s “tried and tested”.​

控制这只野兽
询问工程师一份让他们眼花缭乱的均衡器清单,
他们可能会提到一种基于电感器的设计,其名称让人联想到海神波塞冬。
这款罕见而传奇的控制台的均衡器部造就出了你可能从小就听过的唱片的声音:
皇后乐队、披头士乐队、大卫·鲍伊、滚石乐队……我们只能说它“久经考验”。

Present in very few studios, this console is renowned for being highly musical.
One key component behind its mojo is its unique band interactions –
pushing the gain of one band can lead to EQ curves that would need three or four bands on a parametric EQ.​

这款控制台只出现在极少数工作室中,以高度的音乐性而闻名。
其魔力背后的一个关键因素是其独特的频段交互:
推动一个频段的增益,可以产生平时在参量均衡器上需要动到三到四个频段的均衡曲线。

With such an idiosyncratic EQ, there’s a learning curve.
The interactions between its bands are so unique that we’ve never seen a digital reproduction that makes them simple to use.
So we decided to nail it ourselves with an on-screen EQ curve that reacts faithfully
to the quirks of the original hardware, making Pulsar Poseidon easy to master.​

对于如此独特的均衡器,有一个学习曲线。
其频段之间的交互是如此独特,以至于我们从未见过让它们易于使用的数字复刻产品。
因此,我们决定自己动手,使用屏幕上的 EQ 曲线,
忠实地反映原始硬件的特性,使 Pulsar Poseidon 易于掌握。
With all its additional features (Mid/Side bands, Gain Scale, Auto-Gain, multiple saturation colors),
this plugin (VST/VST3/AU/AAX) faithfully resurrects the rare and iconic qualities of this console EQ into the digital realm.​

凭借其所有附加功能(中/侧频段、增益刻度、自动增益、多种饱和度染色),
此 VST / VST3 / AU / AAX 插件忠实的将此控制台 EQ 的罕见和标志性的声音带入数字领域。

IMPROVED WORKFLOW
Pulsar Poseidon delivers the distinctive character of an industry legend –
with modern features to quickly master this one-of-a-kind EQ.​

改进的工作流程
Pulsar Poseidon 具有行业传奇的独特特征,
并具有现代功能,可快速掌握这种独一无二的 EQ。
EXTENDED RANGES FOR MODERN NEEDS
While the original machine is highly appreciated for its carefully chosen discrete frequencies,
we made the frequency knobs continuous and extended their ranges to match modern needs.
Back then, a peaking EQ down to 100Hz would have required fist-sized inductors.​

扩展范围以满足现代需求
虽然原始硬件因其精心选择的离散频率而受到高度赞赏,
但我们使频率旋钮连续并扩展其范围以满足现代需求。
当时,低至 100Hz 的峰值 EQ 需要拳头大小的电感器。

Complete Control with CURVE EDITING
Understand how each band or filter shapes the sound with a complete on-screen curve editor and spectrum analyzer.
This best-of-both-world approach will give you an interesting insight into what you’re doing with a better workflow.​

通过曲线编辑实现完全控制
通过完整的屏幕曲线编辑器和频谱分析仪了解每个频段或滤波器如何塑造声音。
这种两全其美的方法将让你对使用更好的工作流程所做的事情有一个有趣的见解。
Enhanced Versatility
As usual, we’ve added Mid-Side processing for more control on your stereo image,
a Gain-Scale knob to help you reach the sweet spot on your EQ intensity,
and an Auto-Gain feature to keep the output level consistent with the input.​

增强的多功能性
与往常一样,我们带来了 Mid-Side 处理功能,以便更好地控制立体声呈像,
增加了 Gain-Scale 旋钮,帮助你达到 EQ 强度的最佳点,
还加入了 Auto-Gain 功能,使输出电平与输入保持一致。

Several Saturation COLORS
Add rich analog distortion to your sources with multiple saturation circuits,
including that of the original unit, which is well-known for the tonal color of its preamps.
In addition, we’ve introduced two output transformer emulations to add low-end harmonics.​

多种饱和度染色
使用多个饱和度电路为你的音轨带来丰富的模拟失真,
包括原始硬件的电路,该硬件以其前置放大器的音色而闻名。
此外,Pulsar Audio 还加入了两个输出变压器建模来增强低端谐波。
PRECISE MODELING OF BAND INTERACTIONS
We have faithfully recreated the interaction between the bands of the original unit.
The shape of one filter depends on the settings of the others, so you get asymmetrical bells and exotic curves.
In Pulsar Poseidon, these creative EQ shapes are finally visible and easy to use.​

精确建模的频段交互性
Pulsar Audio 忠实地再现了原始硬件频段之间的交互性。
一个滤波器的形状取决于其他滤波器的设置,因此你会得到不对称的钟形曲线和特殊的曲线。
在 Pulsar Poseidon 中,这些富有创意的 EQ 曲线终于可见且易于使用。

Main Features
Topology Preservation Technology
Our modelling technology guarantees a perfect emulation of the original device’s behavior.
From the saturation of diodes, transistors or tubes, to the slight internal filterings,
to the tiny calibration defects, everything is perfectly reproduced.
What's more, we can reproduce all these behaviors
without going through a complete simulation of the circuit, thus saving CPU power.​

主要特点
拓扑变量技术
Pulsar Audio 的建模技术保证了对原始设备行为的完美模拟。
从二极管、晶体管或电子管的饱和,到轻微的内部滤波,
再到微小的校准缺陷,一切都完美再现。
更重要的是,Pulsar Audio 可以重现所有这些行为,
而无需对电路进行完整的模拟,从而节省 CPU 占用。
Saturation stage
Push the signal further with one of two saturation circuits and adjust the processing strength using the Drive knob.
The first mode faithfully emulates the analog circuitry of the console that inspired this plugin,
while the second is a Pulsar Audio creation featuring a slightly more modern and aggressive character.​

饱和阶段
使用两个饱和电路之一进一步推动信号,并使用 Drive 旋钮调整处理强度。
第一种模式忠实的模拟了启发此插件的控制台的模拟电路,
而第二种模式是 Pulsar Audio 首创的,具有稍微更现代和更激进的特征。
Modern EQ Edition
Manipulate a peculiarly shaped analog EQ curve in an intuitive way.
The curve editor is extremely easy to use, with a clear and concise overall frequency response display.
You can edit all properties of any filter without touching the lower panel.​

现代 EQ 模式
以直观的方式操纵形状奇特的模拟 EQ 曲线。
曲线编辑器非常易于使用,具有清晰简洁的整体频率响应显示。
你无需触摸下部面板即可编辑任何滤波器的所有属性。
Output Transformer
The analog circuit of the original console channel had no output transformer.
Pulsar Poseidon offers two additional options:
an output transformer inspired by the Marinair models used in old Neve preamplifiers,
and an original transformer algorithm optimized for the enhancement of low-end harmonics​

输出变压器
原始控制台通道的模拟电路没有输出变压器。
Pulsar Poseidon 提供两个附加选项:
一个输出变压器,灵感来自旧 Neve 前置放大器中使用的 Marinair 型号,
以及另一个针对增强低端谐波而优化的原始变压器算法。
Mid-Side processing
Each band can be used on the entire stereo signal, or switched into operating with a single focus:
the Mid only, to process monophonic, centered audio
or the Side only, to process stereo, non-centered audio.​

M/S 中侧处理
每个频段可作用于整个立体声信号,或切换到单一焦点操作:
仅使用中间,处理单声道、居中的音频。
或仅使用侧面,处理立体声以及不在中间的音频。

Auto-gain
This control compensates for volume changes introduced by equalization, keeping output level consistent with input.
It uses a C-Weighting-based algorithm to introduce a level compensation based on EQ curve analysis.
The compensation gain applied only depends on your EQ settings and won’t change during playback.​

自动增益
此控制可补偿均衡带来的音量变化,使输出电平与输入保持一致。
它使用基于 C 加权的算法来引入基于 EQ 曲线分析的电平补偿。
应用的补偿增益仅取决于你的 EQ 设置,并且在播放期间不会改变。
Metering & Spectrum analyser
The on-screen analyzer displays the audio spectrum in real-time (fast and slow window settings) or over the long-term with the Infinite Spectrum setting.
In addition, peak metering provides insight into overall dynamics, and RMS meters let you monitor loudness and level matching.
An overall gain meter is also available.​

表头和频谱分析仪
屏幕分析仪实时显示音频频谱(快速和慢速窗口设置)或使用无限频谱设置长时间显示。
峰值计量可让你深入了解整体动态,而 RMS 计量表可让你监控响度和电平匹配。
此外还提供整体增益计量表。
Gain scale
For wholesale reduction or increases in gain,
the Gain Scale control lets you accentuate or reduce an entire EQ curve,
acting like a multiplier for all bands’ gain settings.​

增益刻度
为了全面减少或增加增益,
增益刻度参数可让你强调或减少整个 EQ 曲线,
就像所有频段增益设置的乘数一样。
Oversampling
A selectable oversampling mode is available for computers that can handle it, with processing at rates up to 384 kHz.
You can choose for higher oversampling settings to be applied at export than at playback.​

超采样
对于可以处理它的计算机,可以选择超采样模式,处理码率高达 384 kHz。
你可以选择在导出时应用比播放时更高的超采样设置。
Smart GUI
Pulsar Poseidon comes all wrapped up in a responsive and resizable interface.
A resize handle enables you to choose the perfect size for each use case,
from nice and compact to highly visible.​

智能界面
Pulsar Poseidon 采用响应迅速且可调整大小的界面。
调整大小缩放使你能够为每种用例选择完美的尺寸,
从美观紧凑到高度可见。
