Hollywood Orchestra Opus是著名的Hollywood Orchestra 好莱坞管弦乐音色的升级产品,使用全新的OPUS播放器,由Doug Rogers, Nick Phoenix 及多次获得奥斯卡和 BAFTA 奖的Shawn Murphy制作,在经历了多年的录音和编程之后,已于2021年上市,这是所有需要好莱坞大片音色的音乐制作人必备的产品。
全新的录音和重构的内容
全新的录音包括18把小提的弦乐声部分,铜管和木管的群奏,18把小提是不同的音色,它作为原有的16把小提的一提声部的替代,同时与原有产品能完美融合。新的乐手,新的颤音,它还拥有我们迄今为止最好的LEGATO技巧。新的两人tenor trombones与原有的3人长号组完全不同,它更加温暖,丰满和极度精确。双人小号由好莱坞配乐圈最好的小号乐手录制,火辣的大力度LEGATO技巧更象现场演奏。
Hollywood Solo音色也纳入到了OPUS版本中,除了改进原始的木管音色,还录制了新的群奏,包括 3 bassoons, 3 clarinets和 3 flutes。
强大的控制能力
魔幻的好莱坞音色
Shawn Murphy仍是我们的录音师,他的作品包括星球大战系列 (The Rise of Skywalker, The Last Jedi, The Force Awakens, Revenge of the Sith, Attack of the Clones, The Phantom Menace),饥饿游戏系列,哈利·波特与阿兹卡班的囚徒,印第安纳·琼斯系列(Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade),神奇动物系列,泰坦尼克号,拯救大兵瑞恩等。他为Hollywood Orchestra Opus版录制了不同的话筒混音,包括为所有新乐器设置了”off-axis”离轴近场话筒,这个摆位不正对采样的乐器,捕捉到了STUDIO ONE录音棚中的大环境声。钻石版和CC PLUS用户可以使用所有话筒位置,金版用户只能使用一个话筒位置,CLOUDX用户可以比金版用户多获得一个话筒位置。
创新性的OPUS播放器
OPUS播放器的开发者是曾为Cubase, Nuendo和Studio One设计的Wolfgang Kundrus和KONTAKT的创造者Wolfgang Schneider, OPUS运行更快,功能更多还可以实现单件乐器下载,将替代原有的PLAY播放器,它可以一边下载以便演奏,能定制的KEYSWITCH,新的效果器,可缩放的界面,这是我们公司历史上最激动人心的开发,以后的音色也将使用这个播放器。
Hollywood Orchestrator自动配器工具
除了新的OPUS播放器,我们还与Sonuscore合作开发了编曲工具Hollywood Orchestrator,类似合唱的Word builder, 它根据你的MIDI输入自动创作出实时的编配,用StepEditor步进编辑器制作节奏部分,可达4小节,或者使用现成的500多种不同风格和情绪(MOOD)的预置,演奏管弦乐技巧录制成MIDI并输出, 最多16种音色同时在你的指尖下来演奏,特别适合想快速做出HOLLYWOOD大片音乐的新进编曲人,或者急于完成工作的专业编曲音乐家。Hollywood Orchestrator 作为功能插件只能用于OPUS版里的新音色部分,不能与OPUS版中的老版本Hollywood Orchestra 和SOLO产品兼容。
COMPOSE A BLOCKBUSTER SOUNDTRACK IN SECONDS
With over 500 customizable presets, you can instantly create music in the style of Hollywood’s greatest composers. Select from Ensemble presets to quickly create rich orchestral arrangements. With Ostinato presets, you can build rhythmic tension in different meters or create moving melodic lines by only changing a few notes. With Score, classic Hollywood orchestrations become an endless source of inspiration. Create your own User presets by modifying existing presets or build your own ensembles from scratch!
OUR INNOVATIVE SCORING ENGINE
At the heart of Hollywood Orchestrator is our innovative Scoring Engine, which can produce results ranging from a basic string arrangement, to very complex orchestrations played by the full orchestra. It achieves this in a two-step process by first modifying the MIDI input with a Note Selection process, then sending those note selections to a powerful Step Sequencer where chords are played with the programmed rhythms. If you want to take things a step further, you can optionally active our step sequencers. Each slot has one of them. They take, whatever the note selection process outputs, and manipulate that. If you program a rhythmic pattern into the sequencers and play a C-Major chord, the sequencers will take the notes from the note selection and play the chord with that rhythm.
In the Mixer section, refine the final output of each instrument by adjusting the volume, pan, equalization, reverb preset, reverb send amounts, and other reverb controls like pre-delay, length, and filters.
Hollywood Orchestrator is the perfect tool both for new composers who want to get that magical Hollywood sound quickly and effortlessly, and for professional composers who need to produce large amounts of compositions on a deadline. Please note: Hollywood Orchestrator requires Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition, it is not a standalone product, and is not compatible with the original Hollywood Orchestra or Hollywood Solo Instruments which are now included in the Opus Edition with the newly recorded instruments.
