Adam Monroe Music - Honky Tonk Piano V.2.4 | KONTAKT AU | 1.3 / 1.3 GB
Adam Monroe's Honky Tonk Piano was sampled from a vintage Chickering upright piano - exact age unknown - primarily through a Neumann TLM 102 microphone. The piano had undoubtedly seem some action, and although it could be tuned (one note at a time) the tone of the piano was a bit on the "honky" side. The piano was sampled close-miced with lid open in mono, but each note was carefully panned to creat a stereo effect. An AKG D112 was used initially in order to capture the lower frequencies, but the TLM 102 did a fine enough job on its own.
We attempted to sample this piano deeply (10 velocity layers, 2 note round robin) but in the end, round robin was only partially captured, well the velocity goals were met. Unlike most piano libraries that just record one or the other, the piano was sampled with both sustain pedal open and closed, increasing the library's size, but allowing for more expression well playing.
Once the notes were recorded, the laborious task of processing them began. Noise was removed and the piano was eq'd and compressed - yes, this is a heavily processed plugin. The end result is an EXTREMELY PURCUSSIVE and LOUD piano library that will cut through your mix. This is not a pristine, clean plugin, and the notes can be quite hard hitting! We feel this adds to the percussive nature of honky-tonk style piano playing. Although we've cleaned up the notes quite a bit since the VST's initial release, we feel that too much cleaning-up starts to destroy the sound and feel of the plugin.
This piano plugin can be a great addition to your collection, as it fills a nice niche in the world of sampled upright pianos. If you need to make demos or recordings of ragtime music, or just need a generally purcussive piano, this virtual instrument is ready to become the newest member of your VST, AU, or Kontakt arsenal.
The Kontakt version of Adam Monroe's Honky Tonk Piano is cross-platform, and is maintained by Native Instruments, all the programming and effects being done through them. Some simple scripting is done by us. The VST and Audio Unit versions are another beast entirely, and the programming falls entirely on Adam Monroe Music. The goal in any sample library that is also a VSTi (virtual instrument) or AU (Audio Unit) is to attempt to match the performance of the Kontakt Player. With this library, we feel like we have done just that.
The VST and AU versions include updated, high-performance algorithms that have been improving with each new virtual instrument released by Adam Monroe Music. For example, the buffering algorithm is double-buffered and multithreaded, which means that buffering performance is fast, even on slower computers, and even in lower latencies. Voices are held and iterated over in a pure, C-Style array. Memory use is comparable to the Kontakt version. Because of the solid VST/AU code base and - and compilation of the code to not need external .dll's/objects/libs - you can feel confident that the VST and AU versions should work just as well as the Kontakt version.
Why develop VST and AU versions at all? Although a great piece of software, the Full version of Kontakt (required to run 3rd party sample libraries) is expensive. Developing VST and AU versions that anyone can use does not add significant time to the development of a piano sample library - most of the time is spent sampling and processing the samples - so it's a real no-brainer.
Audio engineering is a large part of creating a VST or Audio Unit, and you will find some useful things like reverb, lo-fi, and chorus built into this plugin. The VST version is based on VST 2.4, and should work in nearly any modern version of 32 or 64 bit version of Windows. The Audio Unit version is compatible with, and will show up in, DAWs that still use the older CARBON resources, and is also compatible with 64 AND 32 bit DAWs running on Mac OSX. The download size for all versions is 2.9 GB, and unzipped the library takes up about 4.2 GB. We use Amazon for file serving, so you can rest assured your download will be fast and smooth!
亚当 · 门罗音乐-低级夜总会钢琴 V.2.4 |开播 AU |1.3 / 1.3 GB
亚当 · 门罗低级夜总会钢琴主要通过 Neumann TLM 102 麦克风从老式的奇克林立式钢琴-未知的确切年龄-采样。钢琴有无疑似乎有些行动,虽然它可以调整 (一次一个注) 钢琴的语气有点"低级"一边。钢琴是采样的结束糜状带盖打开单声道,但每一张钞票仔细淘到创造立体的效果。AKG D112 最初用于捕获较低的频率,但 TLM 102 足够精细工作。
我们试图深入样这架钢琴 (图层速度 10 2 注意循环),但归根结底,只有部分被俘,循环赛、 好速度目标也达到了。不只是记录一个或其他的大多数钢琴库,像钢琴进行采样与维持踏板打开和关闭,增加库的大小,但允许更多的表达很好打。
一旦注意到被记录下来,繁重的工作,处理他们开始。噪声被删除,钢琴是情商会和压缩-是的这是一个大量处理的插件。最终的结果是非常 PURCUSSIVE 和大声的钢琴库,将穿过你的组合。这不是一个原始的、 干净的插件,并注意到将很难打!我们认为这将添加到酒馆风格钢琴演奏的撞击式性质。虽然我们已经清理了注意到很多从 VST 的初始版本以来,我们感受到太多清理开始摧毁的声音和感觉的插件。
这个钢琴的插件可以是一个伟大的除了你的收藏,它填补了不错的利基在采样的立式钢琴的世界。如果你需要做演示或录音的拉格泰姆音乐,或只是一般 purcussive 钢琴的虚拟仪器是准备好成为你 VST、 AU 或开播的阿森纳的最新成员。
亚当 · 门罗低级夜总会钢琴的开播版本是跨平台的是由和维护本机文书,所有的编程和正在通过他们的影响。由我们做一些简单的脚本。VST 和音频单元版本完全,是另有一个兽和编程完全落亚当梦露音乐。也是 VSTi (虚拟仪器) 或 AU (音频单元) 的任何样本库的目标是试图开播播放器的性能相匹配。与此媒体库,我们觉得我们是这么做的。
VST 和 AU 版本包括一直致力改善与每个新的虚拟仪器,被亚当梦露音乐释放的最新的高性能算法。例如,缓冲算法是双缓冲和多线程的这意味着,缓冲性能是快速的即使在较慢的计算机上,即使在较低的延迟。声音是举行,在一个纯 C 样式数组遍历。内存使用是开播版本相媲美。由于固体的 VST/AU 代码库和-和编译的代码,不需要外部的.dll's/objects/libs-你能感觉到自信的 VST 和 AU 版本应该开播版本一样工作。
为什么在所有开发 VST 和非盟的版本吗?虽然一块巨大的软件,开播的完整版本 (运行第三方所需样品库) 是昂贵。开发任何人都可以使用的 VST 和 AU 版本不添加大量的时间钢琴样本库的发展 — — 大部分时间在采样和处理样品-所以它是一个真正的没有脑子。
音频工程是创建一个 VST 或音频单位,很大一部分,你会发现一些有用的东西,如混响、 低保真和这个插件中内置的合唱。VST 版本基于 VST 2.4 和应该几乎任何现代版本的 32 或 64 位版本的 Windows 中工作。音频单位版本相兼容,,就会显示在Daw,仍然使用旧的碳资源,也是兼容 64 和 32 位 Daw 在 Mac OSX 上运行。所有版本的下载大小为 2.9 GB 和解压图书馆占据了约 4.2 GB。我们使用亚马逊为文件服务,所以你可以放心,您的下载将被快速而又流畅!
