KONTAKT – 7,9 GB
MAD – RocknFunk是我们的MAD鼓组系列的第一批完整产品。它具有一个集成的高端环境，可生产Uber逼真的鼓槽，并具有最大的细微差别和冲击力！ RocknFunk背后的想法是对几种标志性套件进行采样，以在所有动态水平上保持非常集中且直接的音调质量。通过扩展的清晰度选项，多功能的混音器，专用的凹槽引擎和即时的可演奏性，您可以快速编程令人信服的鼓节奏，并带有许多音乐和声音细节。
RocknFunk通过定制的精心编写的脚本和功能在后台进行了很多包装，可增强逼真的播放效果和易用性。一些功能，例如广泛的麦克风出血和Snare Grace笔记Legatos，在鼓库中从未见过！
仪器
包括的三个套件中的每个套件都是独一无二的，并且具有很大的音色对比。我们将每个套件录制在不同的空间中，以进一步扩展声音的多功能性。每个录音空间都以不同的录音技术，麦克风选择和演奏风格启发了我们。
然后，我们开发了自定义脚本和一个用户界面，该用户界面深层但又简单易用。结果便是架子鼓的集合，该架子鼓提供了细腻而自然的声音，可以增强任何音乐风格。
功能与技术
录音环节包括一组精心制作的高端麦克风，精品麦克风前置放大器，定制电缆和维护完善的乐器。
我们最大的愿望是从鼓组的每个元件再现真实的动态响应曲线，尤其是在中低速度时。
非线性动态曲线通过组合电子管和固态前置放大器以及麦克风而得到强调，从而使声音“奶油般”的泛音在动态范围的顶部具有一定的饱和度。
引擎盖下有很多发现。我们记录了多种关节，并将它们组织成符合人体工程学的贴图布局，以便于编程。
除了具有足够的力度层和循环采样之外，我们还记录了独特的左右手敲击声和多个鼓区清晰度，因此每个细微差别和优雅音符听起来都是真实的。
最后，我们开发了自定义脚本以最大程度地发挥可玩性–处理可变速度，扼流圈，宽限音符和踩Hi调制。
演奏踩-不止是使用打开和关闭笔触。我们引入了一种真正的前所未有的方法，通过精心设计的踩-引擎对踩-零件进行编程。
首先，我们记录了从提示到边缘的踩on的多个区域的命中情况，以便您获得最佳的笔触变化。然后，我们记录了接近打开状态的6度。
使用Hi-Hat引擎，您可以使用Mod轮在每个状态之间进行变形，并在播放时控制开闭比例。在“关闭”和“打开”关节之间移动时，引擎会注意水平，衰减和剩余维持。它还根据速度和调制速度确定适当的语音堆栈。
您还可以调制踩-攻击，在对快速音符模式进行编程时会派上用场，从而增加了真实感。
最重要的是，踩Open引擎在打开和关闭关节之间移动时会自动添加脚踩踏板。
开箱即用，有很多方法可以塑造和控制音调。除了传统的混音工具外，还有全面的麦克风混音和放气控制，可实现灵活的声音设计和信号流，而传统的调音台则无法实现。
您可以将声音泄漏引入（或消除）到各个通道，从而完全控制音量，直至达到单位增益。只需从可用选项中选择源通道，并引入其他通道残留的麦克风泄漏。
麦克风泄漏的典型用途是在小鼓或Toms通道中增加小军鼓的杂音，但是MAD的体系结构具有更大的灵活性-例如，从Overheads立体声通道中仅提高踩-的水平……
MAD引入了一种优雅的方式来弹奏Snare Grace音符并模拟逼真的语音叠加。
小军鼓可以产生很多不同的声音，这些声音可以占用映射布局中的很多空间。然后还有宽限音符，它们甚至可以接受更珍贵的MIDI音符…
您可以通过弹奏Legato轻松触发各种小军鼓风琴，而不必使用映射到各个宽限样本的音符来使映射膨胀，只需按住小军鼓琴键，同时弹奏另一个小鼓琴键即可。
人体工学的另一个增强功能是Cy片节流器。您可以通过单个键动态执行Cy声扼流圈。
使用Groove引擎，您可以快速试听有节奏的想法，并在DAW中将它们用作构建块或直接使用。 RocknFunk带有700多个Rock和Funk Core凹槽。每个Core Groove具有5个备用模式和5个填充。
替换和填充从微妙到极致
MAD – RocknFunk is the first full installment of our MAD Drum Kit Series. It features an integrated hi-end environment for producing Uber realistic drum grooves with maximum nuance and impact! The idea behind RocknFunk was to sample several iconic kits in such a way to retain a very focused and direct tonal quality at all dynamic levels. With an extended articulation options, a versatile mixer, dedicated groove engine, and immediate playability, you can quickly program convincing drum beats with lots of musical and sonic detail.
RocknFunk packs a lot under the hood with customized elaborate scripts and features that enhance both realistic playback and ease of use. Some features, such as the extensive microphone bleed and Snare Grace notes Legatos, have never before seen in a drum library!
THE INSTRUMENTS
Each of the three included kits is unique and offers a great deal of timbre contrast. We recorded each kit in a different space to further extend versatility of sound. Each recording space has inspired us with different recording techniques, microphone selection, and playing styles.
We then developed custom scripts and a user interface that is deep, yet straightforward and easy to use. The outcome is collection of drum kits that offers a detailed and organic sound that will enhance any music style.
FEATURES & TECH
The recording sessions featured an elaborate set of high-end microphones, boutique mic preamps, custom made cables, and perfectly maintained instruments.
Our biggest desire was to reproduce a true dynamic response curve from each element of the drum kit – especially on the low to mid velocities.
The non-linear dynamic curves, emphasized by combining tube and solid state preamplifiers and microphones, give the sound ‘creamy’ overtones with a bit of saturation towards the top of the dynamic range.
There’s a lot to discover under the hood. We have recorded a wide selection of articulations and organized them into an ergonomic mapping layout for easy programming.
Apart from having plenty of velocity layers and round robin samples, we recorded unique Left and Right hand hits and multiple drum zone articulations so that every nuance and grace note can sound authentic.
And finally, we developed custom scripts to maximize playability – handling variable velocity, choke groups, grace notes, and Hi-Hat modulation.
Playing the Hi-Hat is a lot more involved than just using open and close strokes. We introduce a truly unprecedented approach to programming Hi-Hat parts with an elaborate Hi-Hat engine.
First, we recorded hits on multiple areas of the Hi-Hat from the Tip to the edge so you get an optimal variety of strokes. We then recorded 6 degrees of close-to-open states.
With the Hi-Hat engine you can morph between each state using the mod wheel and control the close-to-open ratio as you play. The engine takes care of the level, attenuation, and residual sustain when moving between ‘Closed’ and ‘Open’ articulations. It also determines the appropriate voice stacking based on velocity and the modulation speed.
You can also modulate the Hi-Hat attack, which comes in handy when programming fast note patterns, adding another level of realism.
To top it off, the Hi-Hat engine will add automatic Foot Pedal stomps when moving between Open and Closed articulations.
There are plenty of ways to shape and control the tone right out of the box. Apart from traditional mixing tools, there are comprehensive microphone blending and bleed control for flexible sonic design and signal flow that’s otherwise impossible to achieve with a traditional mixing console.
You can introduce (or eliminate) sound leakage to various channels with complete control over volume up to unity gain. Simply select the source channel from the available options and introduce residual microphone leakage from other channels.
Typical uses of microphone leakage are to add Snare rattle to the Kick Drum or Toms channels, but MAD’s architecture has more flexibility – like raising the level of only the Hi-Hat from within the Overheads Stereo channel, for instance…
MAD introduces an elegant way to play Snare Grace notes and simulate realistic voice stacking.
A Snare drum can produce so many different sounds that can take up a lot of real estate within the mapping layout. And then there are also grace notes that can take even more precious MIDI notes…
Instead of bloating the mapping with notes mapped to individual grace samples, you can easily trigger a variety of Snare graces by playing Legato – just hold a Snare key while playing another to trigger it.
Another cool ergonomic enhancement is with Cymbal chokes. You can dynamically perform Cymbal chokes from a single key.
The Groove engine is where you can quickly audition rhythmic ideas and use them in your DAW as building blocks or as is. RocknFunk comes with over 700 Rock and Funk Core grooves. Each Core Groove has 5 alternate patterns and 5 fill-ins.
Alts and Fills go from subtle to extreme while retaining the context of their respective core grooves. The grooves are un-quantized to maintain the original drummer’s feel and can be dragged to your DAW as standard MIDI files.
This product requires a full retail version of Kontakt version 5.5 and up
