sawari 的共鸣机制和共鸣音调效果
TSUGARU SHAMISEN 为 azuma sawari 和共鸣音调提供单独的声源,这对于创造津轻三味线声音至关重要。
就像真正的乐器一样,共鸣音调对正在演奏的特定音程做出反应。此外,它们会自动调整以匹配不同的调音和调式移调,以确保准确再现乐器的声音。每个谐振分量的音量都是可调的。
涵盖 20 多种津轻三味线演奏技巧,全部按键开关可控。五个按键开关可控短语库,包含各种基本的津轻三味线短语。
弦乐模式机制
虽然津轻三味线有三根弦,但与吉他不同,和弦很少演奏。相反,津轻三味线的演奏通常由主要在第一弦或第三弦上演奏的单音乐句组成。
为了重现这种演奏风格,我们开发了弦乐模式机制,它像操作具有三根独立琴弦的乐器一样操作津轻社泉,以便您可以选择和演奏特定的琴弦。
演奏时,可以通过按键开关立即选择弦乐模式。这让你在三根琴弦之间来回切换,就像在真正的乐器上一样弹奏乐句。
该库带有三种标准的三味线调音:ni-agari、honchoshi 和 san-sagari。改变调音会改变空弦的音高,尽管键盘的半音音符不会改变。sawari 和 resonance 效果器跟踪调音变化,以重现每个调音的固有声音。
内置的乐器编辑器允许你调整每根琴弦的音量和微调,而噪声混合器允许你设置
sawari 的音量、共鸣音量和释音噪声的音量。这使您能够根据自己的喜好精确定制乐器的声音。
生动的表演表情
Hajiki 是津轻三味线的基础左手拉动技术。当使用 Legato 弹奏 MIDI 键盘时,你可以立即从任何奏法访问 hajiki 声音,而无需按键开关控制。
津轻 SHAMISEN 包括一个重新创建交替拨弦的功能,其中 Key On 事件触发下行笔画,Key Off 事件触发上行笔画。此功能仅在按住延音踏板时激活,并立即将交替拨弦插入任何运音法中。您可以通过按住延音踏板反复敲击琴键来轻松执行颤音拨弦模式。
多麦克风样本
Nobuto Yamanaka 在我们的采样会议中演奏了津轻三味线。
他以他无误的技巧和极好的专注力为每个音符注入了巨大的能量。
在录音室中,我们使用了细致的麦克风设置和没有着色的高端麦克风前置放大器,以捕捉乐器自然而然的声音。
样本在三个立体声麦克风位置(Direct、Overhead、Room 和)以及 Stereo Mix 中录制。提供完整的混音控制,每个通道都有单独的音量、声像、混响发送和 EQ 调整。津轻 SHAMISEN 还配备了高质量的卷积混响,可提供出色的乐器内声音创作。并行输出总线将麦克风通道输出到单独的 DAW 轨道,以实现更精细的混音会话。
使用负载管理器,表演者可以只加载所需的奏法。跳过不必要的样本可以从 Kontakt 引擎获得更好的性能。
MIDI槽浏览器
TSUGARU SHAMISEN具有极其有用的槽浏览器,让您可以快速找到MIDI槽并直接将槽动拖放到您的DAW中。
你可以直接从 KONTAKT / KOMPLETE KONTROL 中调整律动的力度、摇摆、播放速度和其他参数。
该库标配 20 个 MIDI 律动,包括传统歌曲和短句,展示了乐器的能力。当与即将发布的 Groove Inspirations MIDI 包结合使用时,Groove 浏览器可以让你访问一个广泛的乐句库。
Sonica Instruments has painstakingly recreated every aspect of the revered tsugaru shamisen – the stirring percussive sounds, the powerful playing techniques, and the blazing speed of hajiki picking – in a Kontakt instrument library.

Resonance mechanism for sawari and resonant tone effects
TSUGARU SHAMISEN provides separate sound sources for the azuma sawari and resonant tones that are crucial to create the tsugaru shamisen sound.
And just like the real instrument, the resonant tones respond to the specific interval being played. Furthermore, they are adjusted automatically to match different tunings and key transpositions to ensure an accurate recreation of the instrument’s sound. The volume of each resonance component is adjustable.

String Mode Mechanism
Although the tsugaru shamisen has three strings, unlike the guitar, chords are rarely played. Instead, a tsugaru shamisen performance usually consists of single-note phrases played mainly on the first or third string.
To recreate this performance style, we developed the String Mode Mechanism, which operates TSUGARU SHAMISEN like an instrument with three independent strings so that you can select and play a specific string.
When performing, the String Mode can be instantly selected with key switches. This lets you go back and forth between the three strings to play phrases just like on the real instrument.
The library comes with three standard shamisen tunings: ni-agari, honchoshi, and san-sagari. Changing the tuning changes the pitches of the open strings, although the keyboard’s chromatic notes do not change. The sawari and resonance effects track the tuning changes to recreate the inherent sound of each tuning.
The built-in Instrument Editor lets you adjust the volume and fine tuning of each string and the noise mixer lets you set the
sawari volume, the resonance volume, and the release noise volume. This gives you the ability to precisely tailor the instrument’s sound to your liking.
Lively performance expression
Hajiki is a left-hand pull-off technique fundamental to the tsugaru shamisen. When playing a MIDI keyboard with Legato, you can instantly access the hajiki sound from any articulation without a key-switch control.
TSUGARU SHAMISEN includes a function to recreate alternate picking, with Key On events triggering downstrokes and Key Off events triggering upstrokes. This function is active only while the sustain pedal is held down and inserts alternate picking instantly into any articulation. You can easily perform tremolo picking patterns by repeatedly hitting a key with the sustain pedal held down.
Multi-microphone samples
Nobuto Yamanaka played the tsugaru shamisen for our sampling sessions.
He poured tremendous energy into each note with his unerring skill and superb concentration.
In the studio, we used a meticulous microphone setup together with high-end microphone preamps with no coloration to capture the sounds of the instrument in their natural glory.
Samples were recorded in three stereo microphone positions – Direct, Overhead, and Room – plus a Stereo Mix. Full mixing control is available, with individual Volume, Pan, Reverb Send, and EQ adjustments for each channel. TSUGARU SHAMISEN also comes with a quality convolution reverb for excellent in-instrument sound creation. The parallel output bus outputs microphone channels to individual DAW tracks for finer mixing sessions.
With the load manager, the performer can load only the desired articulations. Skipping unnecessary samples obtains better performance from the Kontakt engine.
MIDI Groove Browser
TSUGARU SHAMISEN features the incredibly useful Groove Browser, that lets you quickly find MIDI grooves and drag & drop grooves directly into your DAW.
You can adjust the grooves’ velocity, swing, playback tempo, and other parameters directly from KONTAKT / KOMPLETE KONTROL.
The library comes standard with 20 MIDI grooves, including traditional songs and short phrases that showcase what the instrument is capable of. When combined with the soon-to-be-released Groove Inspirations MIDI pack, the Groove Browser gives you access to an extensive phrase bank.
