6-Instrument Bundle
VBrass French Horns contains six instruments: four French Horns, a Triple Horn and a Wagner Tuba.
Each instrument was recorded individually by world-class players, and each has its own personality and character of sound.
They can all be used as soloists and will blend together perfectly to create ensembles.​

六乐器套装
VBrass French Horns 包含六个乐器:四把圆号、一把三排管圆号及一把瓦格纳大号。
每件乐器均由世界级演奏家单独录制,各自具备独特的音色个性。
它们既可作为独奏乐器使用,也能完美融合构建合奏声部。
The H.A.T.
Thanks to our proprietary H.A.T. (Harmonic Alignment Technology), VBrass is not just another heavily multi-sampled instrument,
you can play articulations exactly like a live player would, with just a mod wheel to control air flow (or even just by drawing in automation).
There are no elaborate keyswitches involved to play staccatos, marcatos, legato, etc. - you simply load up the instrument in your DAW and play. Vibrato can even be automated.​

H.A.T.
得益于 AcousticSamples 独有的 H.A.T.(谐波对齐技术),VBrass 并非仅是又一款海量多重采样乐器,
你可像现场乐手一样演绎各种运音法,仅需一个调制轮控制气流(甚至仅通过绘制自动化曲线即可实现)。
演奏断音、重音、连奏等技巧无需复杂的键位切换——你只需在宿主中加载乐器即可直接演奏。连颤音效果也可实现自动化控制。

NEW: Recorded Legato
Legato transitions are often a sure giveaway that a performance is made with virtual instruments rather than real ones.
Both fully-recorded and fully-modelled libraries run into their respective limitations in this area,
with recorded instruments offering a more lifelike sound at the expense of speed and playability, and vice versa for modelled instruments.
Enter our brand new 'Legato Matrix' (v1.0) - an engine pushing the boundaries of sampling and modeling technology.
Our new legato engine features recorded legato transitions of every single interval available on the instrument, without sacrificing any of the unparalleled playability these instruments are known for.​

全新实录连奏技术
连奏过渡往往是暴露虚拟乐器演奏而非真实乐器的关键破绽。
无论是全实录还是全建模音色库在此领域均有局限,
实录乐器音色真实但牺牲速度与演奏性,建模乐器则反之。
因此 AcousticSamples 推出全新连奏矩阵引擎(v1.0)——突破采样与建模技术边界的核心系统。
新连奏引擎搭载乐器每个音程的实录过渡采样,同时毫不牺牲这些乐器引以为傲的卓越演奏性。
NEW: Bee Dial
Everybody has their own taste when it comes to the sound of a French Horn,
it is an incredibly versatile instrument which can produce warm, mellow tones just as easily as it can a buzzing and sizzling fortissimo, capable of cutting through all other instruments in the orchestra.
Aside from recording 6 different horns of varying characters of sound, we wanted to go one step further and allow for timbral changes on each horn itself.
After carefully extracting specific frequencies one-by-one, we created a brand new 'Bee Dial', to control the amount of buzz the instrument is capable of producing.
This sits right underneath the Airflow dial on the main interface, and works in sync with the Airflow, ensuring the intended dynamics and volume are preserved, regardless of the amount of buzz/sizzle in the sound.​

全新蜂鸣旋钮
对于圆号音色,每位使用者都有独特偏好,
这种乐器拥有惊人表现力,既能奏出温暖柔和的音色,也能发出极具穿透力的嗡鸣强音,在管弦乐团中脱颖而出。
除录制六把不同音色特性的圆号外,我们更进一步实现了每把圆号自身的音色调节功能。
通过逐一精确提取特定频率,AcousticSamples 开发出全新蜂鸣旋钮,用于控制乐器可产生的嗡鸣强度。
该旋钮位于主界面气流旋钮正下方,与气流控制联动工作,确保无论音色中的嗡鸣、嘶嘶声如何变化,都能保持预期的动态与音量表现。
NEW: Multi-Mic Mixer
We recorded these instruments with 4 microphone positions: 1 behind the player (the bell) and 3 in front.
This library also offers the option to use the raw, untreated sound as well as a processed sound to suit different purposes.
Reverb and EQ can be controlled from the Mix tab, and the four microphone positions can be mixed in any way you like, each one will work on its own in the right context.
We recommend using Mic 2 as a starting point, on both processed and unprocessed sets, and for a warmer 'front' sound, add Mic 3 or 4, or for a brighter 'Bell' sound, add Mic 1.​

全新多麦克风混音器
AcousticSamples 采用 4 个麦克风位进行录制:1 个位于演奏者后方,3 个位于前方。
音色库还提供未处理或处理音频选项,以适应不同使用需求。
混响和均衡调节可在混音标签页进行控制,四个麦克风位可任意混合使用,每种配置在合适的场景中都能独立发挥作用。
我们建议以麦克风 2 作为起点(适用于处理与未处理音源),如需更温暖的「front」音色可叠加麦克风 3 或 4,若追求更明亮的「Bell」音色则可加入麦克风 1。

Virtual Space
Our Virtual Space features simulations of three concert halls with world-class acoustics, with four microphone configurations to choose from and customizable stereo width and room size (tail).
Brand new for VSeries is also the option to tame the high and low resonances of the reverb, as well as four options for stereo source width, offering an even greater capacity for depth and colour of sound.
When the virtual mics are used (in the Mix tab), selecting a seat in the Virtual Space will place the instrument at that exact spot in the hall, dealing with the basics of depth, delay and panning all in one single click.
When using this with multiple instruments on different seats, you immediately have the spatial impression of being in front of a whole ensemble.​

虚拟声学空间
虚拟空间系统模拟了三个具备世界级声学特性的音乐厅,提供四种麦克风配置选择,并支持自定义立体声宽度与大厅尺寸(余响时长)。
V 系列新增功能还包括混响高频/低频共振抑制选项,以及四种立体声声源宽度模式,进一步拓展声音的纵深与色彩表现力。
当启用虚拟麦克风(在混音标签页中操作)时,在虚拟空间中选择一个位置即可将乐器精准定位至大厅对应位置,一键完成深度、延迟与声像定位等基础设置。
将多个乐器置于不同座位使用时,可立即获得置身完整乐团前方的空间临场感。

Mutes
Mutes are an integral part of the French Horns' arsenal,
employed by the likes of Jerry Goldsmith to create an unsettling soundworld in Alien, or John Williams or James Newton Howard, creating tension and terror in films such as The Village or Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
You can choose from 4 different mutes, a stop mute, two different straight mutes (wood and metal), and a harmon/wah mute on which you can control how open or close you want it with a CC.
Simply select the mute you want to use in the top right corner of the instrument’s interface and start playing - or assign the menu to a CC, and enjoy swapping between open and muted sounds seamlessly in realtime.​

弱音器系统
弱音器是圆号演奏技术的重要组成部分,
Jerry Goldsmith 在《异形》中用它营造不安的音景,John Williams 与 James Newton Howard 分别在《神秘村》《哈利·波特与魔法石》等影片中借助它制造紧张与恐怖氛围。
可以选择四种弱音器:阻塞式弱音器、两种直筒弱音器(木质与金属)、以及可控制开合度的 harmon/哇音弱音器(支持 CC 实时调控)。
只需在乐器界面右上角选择所需弱音器即可演奏——或将菜单分配给 CC 控制器,实时无缝切换开关音色。
Authentic Vibrato
We carefully measured the different parameters that change when a brass player uses vibrato and we combined everything into a highly realistic and customizable vibrato for VBrass.
There are multiple ways to control the vibrato: automatic, automatic depending on time 'Auto Time', and manually, where you have full control over each undulation yourself.​

真实颤音模拟
AcousticSamples 精确测量了铜管乐手使用颤音时各项参数的变化,并将其整合为 VBrass 中高度真实且可定制的颤音系统。
提供多种颤音控制方式:自动模式、基于时值的自动模式 Auto Time,以及可手动调控每次波动细节的全手动模式。
Pitch
VBrass offers a wealth of controls over pitch, controls that can be essential to achieving a colorful and realistic sound.
It's very rare to hear everything perfectly in tune, even from professional players, so we created a number of features to help adjust the accuracy of the pitch in order to achieve an even more lifelike performance.
Pitch bend is also a key part of the performance of some brass instruments, and our Advanced Pitch Bend engine helps with the realism of these bends,
from subtleties in trumpet solos, to small trombone slides, all the way to the openining Clarinet wail from Rhapsody in Blue.​

音高控制系统
VBrass 提供丰富的音高控制参数,这些控制对实现多彩而真实的音色至关重要。
即使专业演奏家也极少呈现完美无瑕的音准,因此我们开发了多项音高精度调节功能,以达成更贴近真实演奏的效果。
滑音同样是部分铜管乐器演奏的关键技法,我们的高级滑音引擎可提升滑音真实感,
从小号独奏的微妙颤音到长号的短滑音,乃至《蓝色狂想曲》开篇单簧管的哀鸣式滑奏,皆可精准再现。
General / MIDI
Our general controls allow for different playing techniques such as flutter, control over the harmonic series and volume of every note, as well as extraneous noises, natural variation and round robins.
MIDI controls offer the possibility to finetune live ensemble playing, as well as the usual tranposition, pitch control, MIDI controller selection and a grid to tweak the shape of the airflow curve.​

常规/MIDI 控制
常规控制支持多种演奏技法,包括花舌、谐波序列与单音音量调节,以及附加噪音、自然音色变化与循环采样功能。
MIDI 控制可实现现场合奏演奏的精细调节,同时提供移调、音高控制、MIDI 控制器选择等标准功能,并配备可调整气流曲线形态的参数矩阵。

Please note all of the features in the preferences tab that have a small die next to them, which turns on randomization for an even more unpredictable and life-like performance.
Randomize means that the value for that setting will be randomized for each new note, between the minimum value and the value you set.​

请注意偏好设置标签页中所有带骰子图标的参数——点击即可开启随机化功能,让演奏效果更不可预测且贴近真实表现。
随机化意味着该参数值将在每个新音符触发时,在最小值与设定值之间自动生成随机数值。
Ensemble
If you load multiple instruments at the same time, it will play unisons exactly at the same time.
We added some smart features that first can change the timbre of the instruments, transpose everything by a fixed interval and also act on the MIDI performance.
For example, you can have all 6 instruments with a different transposition value play the same C minor scale, so no matter what you play on the keyboard, it will sound in key.​

合奏模式
同时加载多个乐器时,系统将精确同步演奏齐奏音符。
我们添加了智能功能:可调整乐器音色、按固定音程移调所有乐器,并对 MIDI 演奏进行智能处理。
例如,你可将六把乐器设置为不同移调值来演奏同一 C 小调音阶——无论你在键盘上弹奏什么音符,都能确保始终保持在调性内。
Keyboard, Breath Controller or Wind Controller
VBrass can be played using a keyboard by selecting the notes on the keyboard and controlling the air flow with a MIDI controller like the modulation wheel or a breath controller.
You can also use a wind controller like an EWI, an Aerophone a Sylphyo or any other brand, in which case you need to use the appropriate controller menu in the MIDI section.​

键盘、气息控制器或吹管控制器
你可使用键盘演奏 VBrass:通过键盘选择音符,并用调制轮等MIDI控制器或气息控制器控制气流。
也可使用 EWI、Aerophone、Sylphyo 等品牌吹管控制器,此时需在 MIDI 部分选用对应的控制器菜单。
