雨后钢琴被录了下来，汤姆等着听。特别是《Mule Variation》专辑，(太棒了!)我爱上了那张唱片上的钢琴声音，并决定在那一行做些什么。
经过与我们的钢琴技师长时间的讨论:
我:“我想让钢琴听起来像是在雨里淋了好几天了。”
钢琴技师:“??”
我们想出了一个概念，我们把钢琴放在哪里，这样它就能产生更多的泛音，但仍能与其他调好音的乐器一起工作。
那是大约10年前的事了，尽管它是作为一个简单的16位示例库发布的，没有任何发布示例，但它已经成为字符钢琴的一种同义词。它已经被使用，并且仍然在无数的作品中使用，当你想要添加一些不同的味道，而不是使用一个“正常的”钢琴。
由于取样器已经变得更加先进，而雨钢琴仍然是我们最受欢迎的钢琴之一，我们决定对它进行更新，并在原想法的基础上增加一些功能。
所以，我们得到了原始的主录音，(他们在24位)，做了一些改进，并从头开始制作乐器。
我们还添加了hammerback和pedalnoise样本和release样本。
然后，我们添加了真正的共振特性，并使用Kontakts脚本工具来实现实时/真正的踏板、同情共振和其他一些漂亮的特性，然后，看，雨钢琴MkII!
-多达11个速度水平
——真正的共振
-定时释放技术
——交感共鸣
-按键/踏板噪音可控音量
-交感共振和真共振可控音量
– 24bit 44.1立体声采样
你将需要至少Kontakt 4完整版本!
The Rain Piano was recorded after some extensive Tom Waits listening. Specially the ”Mule Variation” album, (great stuff!). I fell in love with the piano sound on that record and decided to make something in that line.
After long discussions with our piano technician:
Me: ”I want the piano to sound like it’s been out in the rain for a few days”
Piano Tech Guy: ”?????????”
We got a concept worked out where we set up the piano so that it would produce a lot more overtones but still be working with other, properly tuned, instruments.
That was about 10 years ago, and even though it was released as a straightforward, 16-bit sample library without any release samples, it became a kind of a synonym for character pianos. It has been used, and is still used on countless productions where you want something that adds a different flavor rather then using a ”normal” piano.
Since the samplers has been become more advanced and the Rain Piano still are one of our most popular pianos, we decided to bring it up to date and add some functions in the line of the original ideas.
So, we got the original master recordings out, (and they where in 24 bits), made some refinements to them and built the instrument from scratch.
We also added hammerback and pedalnoise samples and release samples.
Then we added our True Resonance feature and used Kontakts scripting facilities to make Real Time/True Pedaling, Sympathetic Resonance and some other nifty features, and, Voila: The Rain Piano MkII!
– Up to 11 velocity levels
– True Resonance
– TimeVel Release Technology
– Sympathetic Resonance
– Controllable volume for key/pedal noise
– Controllable volume for Sympathetic Resonance and True Resonance
– 24 bit 44.1 stereo samples
You’ll need minimum Kontakt 4 FULL version!
