对一台三角钢琴进行锤打拉弹，来获取特别的非正常钢琴音色！维也纳鼓捣的这款新音源叫做 Studio FX Piano。
虽然这款琴被列为 Studio 系列产品，但它可是在 Vienna Synchron Stage B 使用多话筒录制的，具有多话筒选项和版本！
The Well-Prepared Piano
The Studio FX Piano goes far beyond the playing techniques of a traditional Prepared Piano. Painstakingly captured in the pristine, controlled environment of Stage B at Vienna Synchron Stage, this unique collection redefines what a piano can be – and sound like.
Expanding significantly on the “prepared piano” concept popularized by avant-garde composer John Cage in the 1940s, we transformed our Yamaha CFX into a groundbreaking instrument of sonic exploration.
By manipulating its strings with objects such as screws, bolts, rubber, felt wedges, chains and paper, or utilizing an EBow for infinite sustain, it now produces a myriad of adventurous tones far removed from its classical origins.
The controlled ambience allows you to shape your custom FX sounds any way you want, while the optional convolution reverb derived from Vienna MIR Pro 3D adds space and even more creative versatility.
A wide array of dedicated FX patches and mixer presets takes this sonic adventure to entirely new dimensions, inviting you to push the boundaries of sound design.
精心预制的钢琴
Studio FX Piano 远远超出了传统预制钢琴的演奏技巧。这套独特的钢琴系列在维也纳 Vienna Synchron Stage B 的原始、受控环境中精心录制，重新定义了钢琴的本质和声音。
在 20 世纪 40 年代由前卫作曲家约翰·凯奇推广的 “Prepared Piano” 概念的基础上，VSL 大大扩展了雅马哈 CFX，将其改造成一种开创性的声音探索乐器。
通过使用螺丝、螺栓、橡胶、毡楔、链条和纸张等物体触动琴弦，或利用拉弓实现无限延音，它现在可以产生无数与其传统音色截然不同的冒险音色。
受控的空间可以以任何你想要的方式塑造自定义的特效声音，而源自维也纳 MIR Pro 3D 的可选卷积混响增加了空间和更多的创意多功能性。
各种专用特效预置和混音器预设将这场声音冒险带入了全新的维度，邀请你突破声音设计的界限。

Prepper’s Delight
When it comes to high-performance music, preparation is key – and in this collection, that concept takes on a whole new, literal meaning.
Our very own piano tuner and specialist Max Kubizek conducted extensive research to unlock the unique sound possibilities he and Synchron Stage chief conductor Gottfried Rabl envisioned for this exceptional product,
which is vastly more expansive and versatile than the previously released prepared piano in our Studio Special Keyboards collection.
The results give you incredible freedom for experimentation.
预制钢琴的乐趣
说到 High Performance 音乐，预制是关键——而在这个系列中，这个概念具有全新的字面意义。
VSL 自己的钢琴调音师和专家 Max Kubizek 进行了广泛的研究，以解锁他和 Synchron Stage 首席指挥 Gottfried Rabl 为这款卓越产品设想的独特声音可能性，
这款产品比 VSL 之前发布的 Studio Special Keyboards 系列预制钢琴更加广泛和通用。
最终为你提供了令人难以置信的实验自由。
During the recording sessions, no boundaries were set: the bass strings were slapped by hand or plucked with a guitar pick,
the piano body was struck with a mallet, metal screws and bolts created sharp metallic overtones,
while rubber and felt dampened the vibrating strings to produce muted, drum-like beats.
These unconventional techniques and non-traditional approaches generated complex and unexpected sound layers,
ranging from mystical drones to sharp, percussive hits that are as inspiring as they are unique.
在录音过程中，没有设置任何界限：用手拍打低音弦或用吉他拨片拨弦，用木槌敲击钢琴琴体，
金属螺丝和螺栓产生尖锐的金属泛音，而橡胶和毛毡抑制振动的琴弦以产生柔和的鼓声。
这些非常规和非传统的演奏方法产生了复杂而意想不到的声音层次，
从神秘的氛围声到尖锐的打击声，这些声音既令人振奋又独一无二。
Beyond Recognition
Behind every keystroke lies a realm of sonic exploration – from the weird and eerie to the innovative and avant-garde.
Is it a piano or a percussion instrument? A key instrument or some sort of alien noise generator?
Sometimes, it’s hard to tell – and that’s precisely the appeal of this unique instrument.
The possibilities are as vast as the materials used to manipulate and transform its sound.
超越认知
每一次击键背后都有一个声音探索的领域——从怪异和诡异到创新和前卫。
它是钢琴还是打击乐器？键盘乐器还是某种外星噪音发生器？
有时很难说清楚——而这正是这种独特乐器的魅力所在。
可能性与用于操纵和改变其声音的材料一样多。
Expanding on the classic “Cage Template”, special FX mixer presets enable instant sound shaping, empowering you to break free from convention.
Perfect for film scores, contemporary compositions, and experimental music, the FX piano’s cross-genre versatility is unmistakable.
Custom articulations broaden its expressive range, making it indispensable for those seeking the unconventional and unpredictable.
扩展了经典的 “Cage Template”，特殊的 FX 混音器预设可实现实时声音塑造，让你能够摆脱传统。
特效钢琴非常适合电影配乐、现代作品和实验音乐，其跨流派的多功能性是显而易见的。
自定义技法拓宽了其表现范围，使其成为那些追求非传统和渴望不可预测的人非常有用的乐器。
Pure Experimentation
The relatively dry Stage B is perfect for capturing prepared and FX piano sounds that feel as direct and pure as if you were sitting right in front of the instrument while the sound-altering materials are applied.
With both algorithmic and convolution reverb options, this prepared piano adapts seamlessly to any musical setting and can be placed in any acoustic environment you desire –
ranging from tight, intimate studio spaces to richly reverberant surroundings.
Whether you’re crafting cinematic soundscapes or experimental avant-garde compositions, this instrument equips you to explore world of previously unheard piano tones.
