Fracture Sounds Trails v1.0.1 KONTAKT- 11,32 GB
进入小提琴手兼作曲家亚历山大·帕森斯的音乐世界,体验他那引人入胜的音景和弦乐质感。这个独特的表演集合还包括极其罕见的福克纳Dulcichord桌面钢琴和全新设计的粒度合成引擎。
关于这个音色库
Fracture Sounds团队与作曲家亚历山大·帕森斯合作,开发了一套工具和声音,完美地体现了他那充满质感的作曲手法。作为一名受过训练的小提琴手,同时具备电子音乐背景,这个集合了独奏弦乐、合成器和独特表演的音色库展示了亚历山大音乐风格的全貌。
这个音色库中的独奏弦乐专注于长和短的质感,可以组合使用,创造出紧张感和动感。发音通过全新的粒度引擎得到了扩展,创造出了大量的可能性,模糊了声学和电子表演之间的界限。如同在Zen: Meditations中一样,这次,Fracture Sounds团队和亚历山大·帕森斯组装了28种合成器声音,然后可以通过使用附加效果与成千上万种组合相融合。
Trails旨在让你以最小的努力获得最大的声音探索,这样你就可以专注于创作音乐,使用一组鼓舞人心的声音。
独奏弦乐质感
这个音色库的主要元素是亚历山大·帕森斯和他的长期合作者及朋友乔·泽特林录制的独奏小提琴和大提琴质感。在伦敦我们用于Dan Keen的Petrichor音色库的同一个干燥录音棚中,捕捉到了亚历山大的八个最喜爱和最常用的发音。
干燥的空间使乐器预设中使用更多效果成为可能,同时也是我们全新的粒度引擎的一部分,将声音转化为令人着迷的质感,拥有无限的可能性。回归的是我们在Hemisphere Ambient & Cinematic Guitars中发现的Lo-Fi和Delay效果,当与Reverb和16个独特的Atmosphere Layers结合时,可以将原来的声学录音转变为波动纹理的戏剧性底层——这就是亚历山大所称的Trails。
我们的新粒度引擎
我们全新设计的粒度引擎融合了Fracture Sounds团队的知识和经验,以及亚历山大在模块化设备上使用粒度效果的方法,以扩展他的声音调色板,创造出真正独特的作品。该引擎汇集了整个音色库中精心挑选的声音,提供了许多控制选项,也可以简单地将所有参数随机化,让乐器自己决定声音的方向。
原始声音可以使用界面上的控件进行反转、变异和微调,使原始来源变得无法辨认,并产生亚历山大在他的写作工具中渴望的那种随机性和灵感。
Fracture Sounds团队和亚历山大·帕森斯精心策划了57个预设,作为粒度合成新手的起点。这些预设也在Lightweight文件夹的基本形式中提供,适合需要更高CPU效率的人群。
多年来,亚历山大收集了许多他最喜爱的模拟合成器和模块化效果单元,并提供了一组个人收藏的样本,受到了他在多年配乐中使用过的那些样本的启发,结合了在Press Play的录音。
为了实现最大的可玩性,我们将合成器样本放置在Layer Blends引擎中,这是在Zen: Meditations中引入的,最多可以将三种合成器样本混合并使用调制轮控制。这个音色库中有28种独特的合成器声音,提供28种,共计546种可能的混合选项,然后可以通过界面中的ADSR包络、滤波器和其他效果进一步扩展。
福克纳Dulcichord
亚历山大武器库中的关键工具之一是福克纳Dulcichord,这是一种小巧的单弦桌面钢琴,拥有精致迷人的音色。除了随独奏弦乐质感附带的效果外,Dulcichord还具有Broken Tuning功能,可以将原本清理干净的样本转变为更古老的声音。熟悉我们钢琴的人会知道我们的Color和Timbre Shift控制,可以将乐器的音色转移到更深或更明亮的空间,我们也加入了扩展范围开关,以超越乐器的自然限制。
艺术家简介
亚历山大·帕森斯是一名作曲家和表演者,他在多种音乐实践中都有涉猎。他为Netflix、Amazon和Channel 4等平台的多个电视系列工作过,包括备受赞誉的Grayson’s Art Club(以艺术家Grayson Perry为主角),以及Black Power: A Story of British Resistance(Steve McQueen)。
作为一名受过训练的小提琴手,并拥有作曲硕士学位,亚历山大会继续探索电子音乐,最终在伦敦和欧洲各地的DJ表演中达到了顶峰,这影响了他今天在媒体音乐方面的大部分工作。
他继续定期现场演出,经常与合作者乔·泽特林一同登台,后者是一名大提琴手,同样在Trails中亮相。

TRAILS
Enter the world of violinist and composer Alexander Parsons, with his collection of evocative soundscapes and string textures. This collection of unique performances also includes an incredibly rare Faulkner Dulcichord table-top piano and a newly designed Granular Synthesis engine.
ABOUT THE LIBRARY
The Fracture Sounds team has collaborated with composer Alexander Parsons to devise a set of tools and sounds that encapsulate his textural approach to composition. As a trained violinist with a background in Electronic Music, this collection of solo strings, synths, and unique performances shows the full spectrum of Alexander’s palette and tastes.
The solo strings in this library focus on long and short textures that can be combined to create tension and movement. The articulations are expanded with the brand-new Granular Engine, creating a huge array of possibilities and blurring the lines between acoustic and electronic performance. As with Zen: Meditations, this library also contains Layer Blends but this time, the team at Fracture Sounds and Alexander Parsons have assembled 28 synth sounds that can then be combined in thousands of combinations with the use of additional effects.
Trails is built to enable maximum sonic exploration with minimal effort, so you can focus on writing music with an inspiring set of sounds.
SOLO STRING TEXTURES
The main element of this library is the solo violin and cello textures recorded by Alexander Parsons and his frequent collaborator and friend, Joe Zeitlin. Eight of Alexander’s favourite and most frequently used articulations have been captured in the same dry studio space in London that we used for Dan Keen’s Petrichor library.
The dry space enables the use of more effects within the instrument presets and as part of our brand-new granular engine, transforming the sounds into mesmerising textures with limitless possibilities. Returning is our Lo-Fi and Delay effects found in Hemisphere Ambient & Cinematic Guitars, which, when combined with the Reverb and 16 unique Atmosphere Layers, can alter the original acoustic recordings into a dramatic underbelly of undulating textures- what Alexander refers to as Trails.
OUR NEW GRANULAR ENGINE
Our newly designed Granular engine has distilled both the knowledge and experience from the Fracture Sounds team with Alexander’s methodology of working with Granular effects on his modular rig to expand his sound palette and create truly unique compositions. The engine is a culmination of curated sounds found throughout the library and offers many control options as well as simply being able to shuffle all of the parameters and let the instrument decide the direction of the sound for you.
The original sounds can be reversed, mutated, and tweaked using the controls available on the interface, making the original source unrecognisable, and generating a level of randomness and inspiration that Alexander craves in his writing tools.
The team at Fracture Sounds and Alexander Parsons have curated 57 presets as starting points for those who are new to Granular Synthesis. These presets are also found in a basic form in the Lightweight folder for those who need greater CPU efficiency.
Over the years Alexander has collected an array of his favourite analogue synthesisers and modular effects units and has provided a personal collection of samples inspired by those that he has used on scores over the years, combined with recordings made at Press Play.
To enable maximum playability, we have placed the synth samples into the Layer Blends engine that was introduced with Zen: Meditations, enabling up to three synth samples to be blended and controlled using the mod wheel. There are 28 unique synth sounds found in this library with 28, providing 546 possible blending options, which can then be extended further with the ADSR envelope, filters, and other effects found on the interface.
FAULKNER DULCICHORD
A key tool in Alexander’s arsenal is the Faulkner Dulcichord, a small single-stringed tabletop piano that has a delicate and enchanting tone. As well as the effects included with the solo string textures, Dulcichord has a Broken Tuning function that can alter the original cleaned-up samples into a more antique sound. Those who are familiar with our pianos will be aware of our Colour and Timbre Shift controls that can shift the tone of the instrument into a darker or brighter space, and we have also included an extended range switch to increase the range of the instrument beyond its natural limitations.
ARTIST PROFILE
Alexander Parsons is a composer and performer who has a background in a number of music practices. He has worked on numerous television series for Netflix, Amazon, and Channel 4, including the highly-praised Grayson’s Art Club (featuring artist Grayson Perry), and Black Power: A Story of British Resistance (Steve McQueen).
As a trained violinist, and with a Masters in composition, Alexander would go on to explore electronic music culminating in DJ performances across London and Europe which influenced much of his work in music for media today.
He continues to regularly perform live, and can often be found playing alongside collaborator Joe Zeitlin, a cellist who also features on Trails.
ARTICULATIONS
Emergence
A long, wispy sustain.
Flickers
A long sustain with a gentle tremolo texture.
Divergence
Long sustains that ‘diverge’ from the central note.
