ENIGMA 2 - THE RAPTURE WALLS OF DISTORTION Leo Abrahams follows up his Enigma hit of 2013 with an apocalyptic selection of distorted instruments and walls of sound. Layer into your mix for the ultimate in distortion & feedback. We decamped to Pool Studios, Bermondsey (London) for weeks of plundering Leo’s unique and rare collection of instruments, pedals and amplification. Where the original Enigma is a relatively small boutique selection of awesome sounds, "The Rapture" is a deep-sampled treatise on the art of distortion, feedback, filth and squalor.  OVERVIEW A deep-sampled library of distorted beauty, that captures Leo's incredibly cool aesthetic, presented in different forms to give you a multitude of options. An enormous variety of articulations, via Leo's enviable guitar collection, his candy store pedal board and a host of different vintage amps and signal paths recorded at London's ultra cool Pool Studios. Distortions - 18 Pedals with 167 different articulations each with six unique signal paths. Augmentations - Along the lines of the original Enigma, 24 inspiring dedicated Mercury "synth" sample sets again each with 6 unique amps. Evolutions - a 16 x 16 Evo Grid - With 4 different amps and signal paths to patch in and mix.  • If you're a producer looking to add that edge to your music then this is a must-have for your arsenal: anything it touches gains a white-hot zeitgeist edge. • If you're a writer in need of that spark of inspiration both Enigmas are "inspiration machines" which can instantly feed your imagination. • If you're a composer looking to employ distortions on your scores, whether it be for film, TV or games, you can now do this with confidence. No more lame distorted guitar sounds!  BACKGROUND Leo Abrahams is a trailblazing musician, composer, and producer who has recorded and toured with such successful artists as Imogen Heap, Ed Harcourt, Roxy Music, Grace Jones, and Pulp. Leo began to write and produce for a catalogue of aspiring singers and bands, which led him to creating his own records including The Unrest Cure, featuring the vocal stylings of Brian Eno, KT Tunstall, Ed Harcourt, Foy Vance, and Bingo Gazingo. Leo has produced for a number of artists including Regina Spektor, Paolo Nutini, Wild Beasts, Frightened Rabbit and Carl Barat of the Libertines. He has composed such incredible soundtracks as that of The Lovely Bones (with Eno) and Hunger (with David Holmes) and he is also credited as the guitarist in such fantastic film scores as that of '71, Oceans 12, Twilight and Green Zone. Leo’s talent has extended across multiple genres of music, and it is his devotion, along with his raw talent that has brought him the success he has today. He had this to say about "The Rapture": "When I'm writing, I often build a sound first and let the composition evolve from it. I hope that some of the guitar sounds on offer here will inspire other people to do the same. I also hope that some of the ambient sounds are helpful when what's needed is neither a synth pad nor an actual 'part', but just a bit of atmospheric ambiguity (or ambiguous atmosphere, depending on whether it's a sci-fi thing or a costume drama). With this library, I hoped we could capture a sense of danger and abandon, which it is often the guitar's job to impart. There's also such a wide variety of emotions and textures available from different fuzz boxes and guitars - I find I hear far too many guitar tones in soundtracks that sound generic and cheesy. I wanted to put the product of my compulsive years of eBay scouring at people's fingertips. When I was playing on David Holmes' soundtrack to Oceans 12, he sent me round every guitar store in LA buying vintage fuzzes until we found the right tone for a particular cue. It took 2 days, and one of the VI's is from that very stompbox. So it's partly intended as a gap-filler in people's toolboxes, and partly as an inspiration machine. If you decide to investigate, thanks in advance."  FEATURES As Enigma 2 contains various different articulations and pickup choices, we have designed 5 new icons to easily distinguish between the main articulations found in the library. Anytime you see these icons with A, B or C inside, these are different pickup or playing position options of that articulation, which will have a slightly different tone. The library is split into 3 distinct sections: "Distortions", "Augmentations" and "Evolutions". The Distortions are the core of the library with a 167 articulations spread across 18 different guitar pedals. The sounds are divided by pedal and contain 6 different signal options giving a variety of mixing options.  The 6 different signal options available include a pure DI straight from the pedals, to 4 different amps and finally a stereo room pair that allow you to add the ambience of The Pool recording studios. The 4 different amps available have been hand-picked to give a variety of sonic options. The first amp (“Cl” on the GUI) is a Showman, with a clean feed of the guitar before any of the pedals to add the pure tone of the guitar. The next 3 are where you get to the core of the matter with 3 different options all straight from the distortions, with the first being a Klemt Echolette M40 into a Selmer cabinet, the second a Bassman, and the third a Swart Space Tone. The Augmentations are 24 unique sounds crafted by Leo himself using his curated pedal board, ranging from deep bass tones to enveloping pads and textures. These all contain the same 6 signals as found in the Distortions but are all hosted in our Mercury engine where users can develop the sounds further with in-built effects. Last but not least are the Evolutions, based on our Evo Grid range, containing 16 different sounds spread across the keyboard which can be randomised to build complex moving sounds. All built with distortion and feedback in mind, these sounds evolve from a soft distortion up to screaming feedback and down again. These all have 4 different signal options, which are the 3 ‘dirty’ amplifiers mentioned above as well as the room signal.  ENIGMA 2 - RAPTURE 失败的失败 亚历山大·亚伯拉罕先生跟随他的2013年的谜打击，并启发了一系列扭曲的乐器和声音的墙壁。层叠到您的混合，以最终的失真和反馈。我们摧毁了Bermondsey（伦敦）的Pool Studios，几周掠夺了Leo独特而罕见的乐器，踏板和放大系列。在原始的谜是一个相对较小的精品选择的令人敬畏的声音，“The Rapture”是一个深度抽象的论文，关于失真，反馈，污秽和肮脏的艺术。 概述 一个深度抽象的扭曲美的图书馆，捕捉到Leo的令人难以置信的酷美的审美，呈现出不同的形式，为您提供了众多的选择。通过Leo的令人羡慕的吉他系列，他的糖果店脚踏板以及伦敦超酷的Pool Studios录制的各种不同的古式放大器和信号路径，可以展示各种各样的表现。 失真 - 18脚踏板，167个不同的关节，每个具有六个独特的信号路径。 增强 - 按照原始的谜团，24个启发性的专用水星“合成器”样品再次设置6个独特的放大器。 Evolutions - 16 x 16 Evo Grid - 具有4个不同的放大器和信号路径，可以进行补丁和混合。 •如果您是一名生产者，希望能够为您的音乐添加边缘，那么这是您武库的必备品：任何它触及的东西都将获得白热化的时代精神。 •如果您是作家需要灵感的火花，那么这两个Enigmas都是“灵感机器”，可以瞬间吸引您的想象力。 •如果您是作曲家，希望在分数上使用扭曲，无论是电影，电视还是游戏，您现在都可以自信地做到这一点。没有更多的跛脚扭曲吉他的声音！ 背景 狮子座亚伯拉罕是一位开创性的音乐家，作曲家和制片人，曾与Imogen Heap，Ed Harcourt，Roxy Music，Grace Jones和Pulp等成功的艺术家一起录制和巡视。狮子座开始为一个有抱负的歌手和乐队的目录撰写和制作，这导致他创造了自己的记录，包括The Unrest Cure，其中包括Brian Eno，KT Tunstall，Ed Harcourt，Foy Vance和Bingo Gazingo的声乐风格。狮子座已经为许多艺术家制作了许多艺术家，包括Regina Spektor，Paolo Nutini，野兽，惊吓的兔子和卡尔·巴拉特。他与“可爱的骨头”（Eno）和“饥饿”（与大卫·福尔摩斯）一起组成了这样令人难以置信的音轨，并被誉为“71，海洋12，暮光与绿色地带”这样的绝妙电影分数的吉他手。狮子座的天赋已经扩展到多种音乐流派，而且是他的奉献精神，以及他未来的天赋，使他获得了今天的成功。 他有这样的说法：“激动人心”： “当我在写作时，我经常先建立一个声音，让它的演奏从它发展，我希望这里提供的一些吉他音乐会激发其他人做同样的事情，我也希望一些环境的声音当需要的是既不是合成器也不是实际的“部分”，而只是一点大气的模糊性（或不清楚的气氛，取决于它是一个科幻的东西或服装戏剧）是有帮助的。 有了这个图书馆，我希望我们能够捕捉一种危险和放弃的感觉，这是吉他的传播工作。还有来自不同的模糊盒子和吉他的各种各样的情感和纹理 - 我发现我听到的声音中有太多的吉他音色，听起来很普遍和俗气。我想将我强迫的eBay年的产品放在人们的指尖上。 当我在大卫·福尔摩斯（David Holmes）的海盗12上演奏的时候，他把洛杉矶的所有吉他商店都送到我的边上购买复古的模糊，直到我们找到一个特定的提示为止。花了2天时间，其中一个是来自那个非常笨拙的人。 因此，它部分用作人们的工具箱中的填充填充，部分是作为灵感机器。如果你决定调查，谢谢提前。 特征 由于Enigma 2包含各种不同的表达和拾音选择，我们设计了5个新图标，以便轻松区分图书馆中发现的主要表达。 每当你看到A，B或C里面的这些图标时，这些都是不同的拾音或播放位置的选择，这将有一个稍微不同的音调。 图书馆分为三个不同的部分：“变形”，“增强”和“演变”。扭曲是图书馆的核心，167种语言分布在18种不同的吉他踏板上。声音由踏板分开，包含6种不同的信号选项，提供各种混音选项。 6种不同的信号选项包括直脚从踏板，直到4个不同的安培，最后一个立体声室对，允许您添加池记录工作室的氛围的纯DI。已经选择了4种不同的放大器，以提供各种声音选项。第一个放大器（GUI上的“Cl”）是 |
