塑料桶乐器 – Soundiron Bowed Bucket v3 KONTAKT

当您用5加仑的塑料桶，4×4的木质横梁，低音调音器和大提琴琴弦将大型肥胖乐器锤击在一起时，就会发生弓形桶。铲斗装有调音耳，然后使用底壁作为琴桥，钻出孔以允许单个琴弦通过，以便声音向外和向下投射。然后，将4×4的木梁固定在水桶上，然后将琴弦拉到沉重的木颈上，大致钉牢到位并进行手工调音。还记得您小时候那个古老的绳子和纸杯戏法吗？是的，想更大。

我们低头鞠躬，拔下琴弦，在干燥的环境中用鼓槌敲打它，以获得吨的音调，然后将其编程为一个生动，呼吸自如的桶带。之后，我们操纵了所有原材料，创造了各种可玩的大气垫和氛围，以充分发挥这种奇特装置的全部创造潜力。

弯曲琴弦会产生令人惊讶的干净但丰富而强劲的声音，并带有大量的低吼声和低沉的咬合感。声音有点像电子大提琴，但具有独特的原始感和主体感。对于我们的打击乐器，我们就像傻瓜一样简单地敲打它，结果如您所愿-塑料桶鼓。我们从水桶的内部和外部捕获了各种弓形的关节。而且，当然，作为奖励，我们还创建了许多非常酷的线索，打击垫，环境驱动和FX预设，以扩展您的创意选择。

The Bowed Bucket is what happens when you hammer together a big fat instrument out of a 5 gallon plastic bucket, a wooden 4×4 beam, bass tuners and cello strings. The bucket was fitted with tuning lugs and then holes were drilled out to allow individual strings to pass through, using the bottom wall as the bridge, so that sound projected outward and down. Then a 4×4 wooden beam was affixed to the bucket and the strings were then stretched up the heavy wooden neck, roughly nailed in place and hand-tuned. Remember that old string and paper cup trick from when you were a kid? Yeah, think bigger.

We bowed it, plucked it, struck it with drumsticks in a close, dry setting to get tons of tonality, then programmed it into a living, breathing self-contained bucket band. After that, we manipulated all the raw material to create a variety of playable atmospheric pads and ambiences to bring out the full creative potential of this rather odd contraption.

Bowing the strings produces a surprisingly clean, yet rich and beefy sound, with plenty of growl, low end, and a nice clear bite. It’s sound is a little similar to an electric cello, but with a unique rawness and body. For our percussion, we simply banged on it like idiots, with results just as you’d expect – plastic bucket drums. We captured various bowed articulations from both inside and outside of the bucket. And of course, as a bonus, we’ve also created a variety of very cool lead, pad, ambient droning and FX presets to expand your creative options.

CONTENTS

The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. You have control over swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse & fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering, and so much more. We’ve also included 22 unique sound-designed custom FX presets to give you lots of creative options.

This library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. We’ve included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance.

The interface is rounded-out by our modular FX rack panel, with 18 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 10 available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The Reverb effect includes our favorite convolution reverb impulse responses, including 99 different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, plus another 40 custom FX impulses to radically transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility. We’ve added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started!
