軟體簡介:
Step into our time machine and explore musical heritage like never before.
For over 500 years this instrument has been an essential musical ingredient
in music styles across Europe, Eurasia and large parts of the Middle East.
Forming a base of harmony and rhythm and a solid musical environment for
melody instruments to perform in, spreading its sound from the early
medieval inns, taverns in the Golden Age to the festive Hobbit scenes of
the Lord Of The Rings movies. This versatile and distinctive sound instantly
triggers the imagination and lingers on to colour the musical picture the
composer tries to paint.
The sound is unique and has never been sampled like this before. The
automated violin sound, with its constant drone and pivoting melody string
lines, is an essential tool for the composer that needs access to a large
pallet of instruments and music styles. Hurdy Gurdy is the Cinnamon of the
musical instruments family. It doesn’t fit as a generic ingredient but apply
it well and in the correct ‘dish’ it’ll create something you’ll never forget.
We’ve been working on a concept for this instrument for a while and we’ve been
told over and over again that it couldn’t be converted to the keyboard in a
sensible way, because of the unique way the Hurdy Gurdy creates drones, rhythms
and legato melody all at once. But we persisted and feel like we prevailed.
It’s been a struggle to search for realism, user comfort, efficiency and
playability. But the “Sonokinetic-Hurdy-Gurdy-formulaR” we came up with is
quite intuitive. It pushes the limits of samplers but still works within the
safe boundaries of those dedicated sampling platforms.
When you play the Hurdy Gurdy you’re creating 5 types of sounds. 1) Drone
sounds containing two strings, 2) a trumpeter string sound to create the
high buzzing rhythm sound. (which only appears when you apply pressure on
the spinning wheel causing the trumpeter string to slip and buzz) 3) two
melody strings sounds, 4) melodies by pressing the knobs and sliding wooden
rods on the melody strings to bend them to the correct pitch and lastly
5) mechanical sounds like pushing knobs, swinging the wheel and damping
the strings when you stop spinning. All those sounds have been sampled
and built into this keyboard orientated Hurdy Gurdy. You’ll get full
control over all sounds to adjust your instrument to whatever sound you’re
looking for. By default we chose a realistic and authentic representation
of “La Fleur”, the Hurdy Gurdy that’s been subject to the sampling process.
Last but not least Hurdy Gurdies usually only come in one or two tunings.
But Sonokinetic wouldn’t be an inventive and ambitious company if we’d
settle for that. So “La Fleur” had to go through some painful adjustments
to stretch the Hurdy Gurdy legacy to a new standard. With this library we
present an instrument that, until now, hasn’t been recreated in this
extensive way ever before:
Available in all keys, true legato sampling, 100% capturing of all sounds
from this instrument, with all playing techniques transformed into a
keyboard orientated composer. And the best of it, we’ve also provided
settings for real Hurdy Gurdy musicians to play this instrument like the
real instrument with left hand melody playing options.
