KORG KRONOS/NAUTILUS电钢琴音源引擎EP-1。KORG系列中最为出色的复古电钢琴音色现已面世。
电钢琴音源引擎EP-1于2011年首次亮相于KORG旗舰工作站合成器KRONOS中。它采用了新开发的MDS（多维合成）技术，该技术能够精细地根据按键力度表达出流畅且富有动态的音色变化，这是传统采样回放方法所无法实现的。2017年，该技术被应用于KORG顶级舞台钢琴Grandstage中，2021年，NAUTILUS工作站又新增了一款电钢琴型号。现在，这款插件版本搭载了最新的EP-1音源引擎，并进行了全新的音色设计，使其成为终极电钢琴音源引擎。
EP-1那逼真至极的音色和动态表现将触动演奏者的心灵，激发出深层的情感共鸣。体验最新的EP-1音源引擎，拓展你的创意视野。
探索EP-1
EP-1能够高度精确地再现七款经典舌簧式、簧片式电钢琴以及复古效果的音色。借助KORG精心开发的多维合成（MDS）技术，EP-1提供了自然且实时的音色表达，这是传统采样回放方法所无法比拟的。从极弱到极强，EP-1都能提供流畅且自然的动态变化，无明显过渡，这才是真正的音乐“乐器”。通过实时控制机械按键释放等噪声元素与释放速度，它实现了前所未有的逼真且细腻的演奏效果。
什么是MDS音源引擎？
多维合成（MDS）是KORG独有的音源引擎系统。在开发EP-1时，我们首先精心采样了电钢琴在各种按键力度下产生的音色变化，并从表现力出色的个别电钢琴中挑选出作为源乐器。通过将音高成分与锤击和按键释放等噪声成分分离，并分别进行控制重新合成，我们成功再现了电钢琴的所有音色变化。因此，我们实现了一个对演奏者控制反应极为自然的音源引擎系统，其声音编辑性能、触感灵敏度和声音随时间变化的特点，都是传统采样回放方法所无法表达的。
从轻柔到强烈的触键所产生的流畅音色变化，自然地消除了速度切换中常见的明显界限。衰减和释放等时间变化也呈现出自然的感觉，与包络发生器产生的不同。
丰富多样的电钢琴音色
从20世纪60年代至今，电钢琴音色一直是许多音乐风格和流派中不可或缺的一部分。EP-1提供了丰富的音色选择，从经典电钢琴音色到通过吉他放大器发出的激昂的拨弦钢琴音色，再到强调舌簧攻击成分的锤击音色。借助MDS引擎打造的50种重新诠释的电钢琴音色，EP-1将为你的音色库增添鲜艳的新色彩。
此版本的新功能
8月9日02:04 v1.0.3更新
在声音浏览器和资料库窗口中，即使初始选择缺失，或在资料库中显示“所有数据”时，类别和收藏集也会保持排序状态。
已修复一些不适用的项目被错误地包含在已发布的自动化参数中的问题。自动化兼容性已得到保留。
同步至主机按钮的初始状态现在显示正确。此外，当同步至主机启用时，速度字段现在会变灰。
演奏、效果、音阶和曲目选择器在增减箭头之间包含一个“过滤列表”图标。该图标表示列表受到声音浏览器窗口中设置（如所选类别、收藏集和文本搜索）的影响。点击该图标可清除过滤器，而无需打开声音浏览器。现在，图标与增减按钮之间有了更多空间，便于点击。
此前，仅当全局MIDI通道设置为1时，通过屏幕键盘演奏音符才有效。此问题现已得到修复。
检测到更新版本时，下载链接现在使用https而非http。此前使用http会在Chrome浏览器中触发安全警告。
音量和速度现在支持自动化。

EP-1 Electric piano sound engine from the KORG KRONOS/NAUTILUS. The finest vintage EP sounds now available in the KORG Collection.
The electric piano sound engine EP-1 first appeared in 2011 in KORG’s flagship workstation synthesizer, KRONOS. It adopted the newly developed MDS (Multi-Dimensional Synthesis) technology which expresses smooth and dynamic tonal changes finely corresponding to key touch, something previous sample playback methods could not achieve. In 2017, it was featured in the top-tier Korg stage piano Grandstage, and in 2021, a new electric piano model was added to the NAUTILUS workstation. This plugin version now features the latest EP-1 sound engine and has received new voicing, making it the definitive Electric Piano sound engine.
The overwhelmingly realistic sound and dynamic expression of EP-1 will stir the player’s soul and unleash deep emotional responses. Experience the latest EP-1 sound engine and expand your creative horizons.
Discover the EP-1
EP-1 superbly reproduces the sound of seven classic tine-type, reed-type electric pianos, and vintage effects with high precision. Using KORG’s carefully developed Multi-Dimensional Synthesis (MDS) technology, EP-1 delivers natural and real-time expression, unattainable with traditional sample playback methods. From pianissimo to fortissimo, EP-1 provides smooth and natural dynamic changes without noticeable transitions, this is a true musical “instrument.” By controlling noise elements, such as mechanical key-off noise with release velocity in real-time, it enables unprecedented realistic and detailed performance.
What is the MDS sound engine?
Multi-Dimensional Synthesis (MDS) is Korg’s proprietary sound engine system. In developing EP-1, we first meticulously sampled the tonal changes produced by electric pianos across a wide range of keystroke strengths, and selected from the finest individual electric pianos that offer excellent playability as the source instruments. By separating the pitch components and noise components such as hammer and key release and re-synthesizing them under separate control, we were able to recreate all the tonal changes of electric pianos. As a result, we achieved a sound engine system that reacts extremely naturally to player control, with sound editing performance, touch sensitivity, and temporal changes in sound that could not be expressed with normal sample playback methods.
The smooth tonal changes from soft to intense touch are naturally free of the noticeable boundaries typical of velocity switching. Temporal changes such as decay and release also achieve a natural feeling, different from those produced by envelope generators.
Diverse Electric Piano Sounds
From the ’60s to today, electric piano sounds have been an essential part of many musical styles and genres. The EP-1 delivers an extensive array of sounds, from classic electric piano tones to aggressive plucked piano sounds through a guitar amp, and hammer sounds that emphasize the attack components of tines. With 50 reinterpreted electric piano sounds utilizing the MDS engine, the EP-1 will add vibrant new colors to your sonic palette.
Whats new in this version
August 9 at 02:04 v1.0.3
In the Sound Browser and the Librarian window, Categories and Collections are now kept sorted even when initial selection is missing, and when showing “All Data” in the Librarian.
Some inapplicable items were incorrectly included in the published automation parameters. This has now been fixed. Automation compatibility has been preserved.
The initial state of the Sync to Host button is now shown correctly. Additionally, the Tempo field is now grayed out when Sync to Host is enabled.
The Performance, Effect, Scale, and Set List selectors include a “filtered list” icon between the inc and dec arrows. This icon shows that the list is affected by settings in the Sound Browser window (such as selected Categories, Collections, and text search). Clicking the icon clears the filters without needing to open the Sound Browser. There is now more space between the icon and the inc/dec buttons, which makes it easier to click.
Previously, playing notes via the on-screen keyboard worked only if the global MIDI Channel was set to 1. This has now been fixed.
When an updated version is detected, the download link now useshttps instead ofhttp. The previous use ofhttp caused a security warning to appear in Chrome browsers.
Volume and Tempo now support automation.
