背景

这个图书馆是所有关于捕捉和表演踏板钢吉他，美国音乐的经典超过100年无误的声音。乐器起源于夏威夷群岛作为一个普通的吉他，脱口而出，用一把沉闷的刀的边缘演奏，以产生一个标志性的滑动音。然后，它演变成多布罗，其次是圈钢吉他，最后到达踏板钢，我们今天知道：完成与电气化输出和踏板控制。

正如这个名字建议，踏板钢吉他不仅依靠手烦躁和演奏旋律和和弦，而且依靠脚和膝盖触发踏板和杠杆。通过这样做，表演者可以在富有表现力的滑动旋律下产生无限的反转和和弦。我们与踏板钢的目标是提供这种水平的灵活性，而无需深入了解发挥实际乐器所需的技术！

图书馆概念

在创建此库时，我们通过 DI 盒录制了现代标准 10 串 E9 踏板钢（纳什维尔调谐），随后使用 Fender 和 MESA/Boogie 管放大器重新放大。放大器使用反应式负载盒记录在扬声器输出时，因此它们可以与任何机柜红外（包括我们自己的控制台 FX 机架和混音器）一起使用。

捕捉踏板钢吉他的所有细微差别和灵活性是一个巨大的挑战，但使其可玩在标准的 MIDI 控制器是一个更大的障碍。我们这个库的目标是提供轻松的可玩性，而无需对踏板钢吉他的深入了解。为此，它有一些关键的设计概念：

1. 没有视觉的烦恼板，因为我们希望重点放在简单的演奏乐器上。

2. 多种播放模式，具体取决于您是想要单声引线、复音和弦还是引线 + 和声。

3. 创新的和谐系统，使用简单的键切换与强大的编辑器，以产生几乎无限的表达。

该项目的目标是创建一个富有表现力的工具，不会分散您不必要的复杂性。我们希望我们接近，你会发现这个虚拟仪器鼓舞人心和愉快！

如何玩

Pedal Steel 采用独特的布局，允许您在旋律下创建和声，而无需使用多个轨道。当然，仪器可以在简单的复调模式（和弦带腿）或单音模式（引线）使用，但真正的星是协调单声道模式。

在此模式下，右手播放乐器的旋律范围（蓝色键），而左手控制和谐触发（黄色键）和补色音符（红色键）。

Background

This library is all about capturing and performing the unmistakable sound of the pedal steel guitar, a classic of American music for over 100 years. The instrument originated in the Hawaiian Islands as a regular guitar, de-fretted and played with the edge of a dull knife to produce a signature sliding tone. It then evolved into the Dobro, followed by the lap steel guitar, before arriving finally at the pedal steel we know today: complete with electrified output and pedal control.

As the name suggests, pedal steel guitars rely on not just the hands to fret and play melodies and chords, but also the feet and knees to trigger pedals and levers. By doing so, the performer can produce unlimited inversions and chords under expressive sliding melodies. Our goal with our Pedal Steel was to offer this level of flexibility, without requiring intimate knowledge of the techniques required to play the actual instrument!

Library Concept

In creating this library, we recorded a modern standard 10-string E9 pedal steel (Nashville tuning) through a DI box, later re-amped with Fender and MESA/Boogie tube amps. The amps were recorded at their speaker output using a reactive load box so that they can be used with any cabinet IR including our own Console FX rack and mixer.

Capturing all the nuance and flexibility of a pedal steel guitar was a huge challenge, but making it playable on a standard MIDI controller was an even greater hurdle. Our goal with this library was to offer easy playability without requiring intimate knowledge of a pedal steel guitar. To that end, it has a few key design concepts:

1. There is no visual fretboard, as we wanted the focus to be on simply playing the instrument.

2. Multiple modes of playing depending on whether you want monophonic leads, polyphonic chords, or lead + harmonies.

3. An innovative harmony system that uses simple keyswitching with a powerful editor to produce nearly unlimited voicings.

The project’s goal was to create an expressive instrument that doesn’t distract you with unnecessary complexities. We hope we came close, and that you will find this virtual instrument inspiring and enjoyable!

How to Play

Pedal Steel uses a unique layout allowing you to create harmonies underneath melodies without using multiple tracks. Of course, the instrument can be used in simple polyphonic mode (for chords w/ legato) or monophonic mode (for leads), but the real star is Harmonized Mono mode.

In this mode, the right hand plays the instrument's melody range (blue keys), while the left hand controls harmony triggering (yellow keys) and tonic note (red keys).

By holding a harmony (yellow key) and playing a melody note, a harmony will automatically be triggered under the melody note. The specific harmony is based on the tonic note, harmony key(s) and melody key played. For example, Harmony 1 will simply trigger the tonic note underneath the melody you're playing, while Harmony 4 will trigger major thirds built from the melody.

You can edit how these harmonies are created with our flexible Harmonization editor, but the possibilities are endless even with the default 11 harmony setups - and you can hold multiple keys at once to seamless switch between no harmony or huge sliding chords!

Console: Modular FX Rack and Mixer

Console is our new mixer and modular effects rack, designed to give you full control over your instrument tone and space. Unlike our previous FX racks, which were limited to a small amount of preset modules, Console gives you 30 effects modules to choose from!

These include multiple EQs (digital and analog-style), compressors, spatial FX, modulation FX, amps, distortion pedals, reverbs, and a selection of over 30 custom cabinet IRs! Using Console, you can easily save and load FX chains or presets between projects or even different Console-enabled ISW instruments. It also allows you to mix and blend between mic positions, with custom inserts on each if you'd like.
