（北欧民谣弦乐）塔格尔哈帕琴 Silence+Other Sounds Nordic Folk Strings v1.1 KONTAKT

KONTAKT – 2,43 GB

《Nordic Folk Strings（北欧民谣弦乐）》是一款基于塔格尔哈帕琴（tagelharpa）的 Kontakt 音色库，塔格尔哈帕琴是源自斯堪的纳维亚地区的传统三弦乐器。这是与歌手、塔格尔哈帕琴演奏专家亚历山德拉・科涅塔（Alessandra Cognetta，代表作《OMEN》《HELLEN》）合作的项目，所有原始素材均由她录制完成。

该音色库包含两款塔格尔哈帕琴型号：低音塔格尔哈帕琴（Bass Tagelharpa）与标准塔格尔哈帕琴（Standard Tagelharpa）。前者音色更暗沉、更低沉，后者则呈现出更具维京时代特色的经典音色。两款乐器均覆盖不同时长范围、多种节奏型（ straight 直拍节奏与 triplets 三连音节奏）、不同调弦方式及音色质感。

不同于常规的长音持续采样，《Nordic Folk Strings》专注于录制节奏型乐句，以保留塔格尔哈帕琴原始纯粹的真实性。这些乐句循环可与数字音频工作站（DAW）的速度同步，并能通过定制编写的节奏连音（Rhythmic Legato）功能及创新的乐句音序器（Movements Sequencer）进行创意组合。

乐句音序器（Movements Sequencer）

音色库中的 8 款乐器均配备乐句音序器，这一创意工具可无缝组合现有乐句，或从零打造全新乐句。每个步骤会根据参考节拍位置，播放乐句的不同 “片段”（具体细节见 “节奏连音” 部分）。

乐句音序器支持两种使用模式：“按节拍触发（to beat）” 与 “按按键触发（to keys）”。按节拍触发时，音序器按固定节拍推进；按按键触发时，每弹奏一个新音符，音序器便进入下一个步骤。

两种模式均可创造出近乎无限的节奏与旋律组合。

节奏连音（Rhythmic Legato）

《Nordic Folk Strings》引入创新功能 —— 节奏连音，可通过乐句循环演奏出无缝衔接的旋律。

简单来说，选定乐句后，若以连音方式弹奏音符 / 循环（相邻音符短暂重迭），基础乐句节奏会在背景中持续无缝播放。不同于新音符触发时循环总是从头开始，节奏连音脚本会根据音符相对于乐句参考节奏的弹奏时间，对循环进行偏移调整。

最终效果相当于实时 “拼接” 音频循环，呈现出自然流畅的乐句。只需在数字音频工作站中按下播放键，弹奏连音旋律，即可快速激发创作灵感。

结合节奏连音与乐句音序器，能够创造出近乎无限的全新乐句，并让旋律与乐句完美融合。

核心优势

《Nordic Folk Strings》既精准还原了塔格尔哈帕琴的超真实音色，又兼具演奏与创作灵活性。它既适用于传统史诗音乐创作，也能轻松驾驭复杂精巧的乐句编排；你还可以通过音色选择器（含纯净音色 Clean 与粗粝音色 Gnarly），探索更多创意音色可能。

这款音色库专为追求传统北欧音乐标志性弦乐音色的作曲家与音乐制作人打造，能唤起人们对维京时代广袤冰封大地与古代战场场景的想象。

Nordic Folk Strings is a Kontakt library based on tagelharpa, the traditional three-strings instrument from Scandinavia. It’s a collaborative project with singer and tagelharpa expert Alessandra Cognetta (Omen, Hellen), who has recorded the whole source material.

Nordic Folk Strings features 2 models of tagelharpa, Bass Tagelharpa and Standard Tagelharpa. The former features a darker, lower sound whereas the latter presents a more typically Vikingreminiscent tone. Both have been sampled at different time ranges, with different kind of rhythms (straight and triplets) , different tunings and tones.

Rather than sampling long sustained notes, in Nordic Folk Strings we have sampled rhythmic movements, in order to preserve the raw authenticity of the tagelharpa. The movements loops are tempo synched to the DAW and can be combined creatively by using our custom scripted Rhythmic Legato and the innovative Movements Sequencer.

Movement Sequencer
All the 8 instruments in Nordic Folk Strings feature a Movements Sequencer, a creative and innovative tool to seamlessly combine movements and create new ones from scratch. At each step, a different “chunk” of movement is played, according to its position against the reference timing (more on this in the “Rhythmic Legato” section).

The Movements Sequencer can be used in two ways: with to beat and to keys. With to beat, the sequencer is driven at a regular timing whereas with to keys the sequencer moves to next step everytime a new note is played.

Both the options can create virtually endless rhythmic and melodic combinations.

Rhythmic Legato
Nordic Folk Strings introduces an innovative functionality to play seamless melodies with the movement loops : the Rhythmic Legato.

Simply put, once a movement is selected, if the notes/loops are played in a legato fashion (adjacent notes briefly overlapping), the basic movement rhythm keeps going seamlessly in background. Instead of having the loops always starting from the beginning when a new note is played, the Rhythmic Legato script offsets the loop according to when it has been played against the reference rhythm of the movement.

The result is equivalent to “comping” the audio loops in real time to achieve realistic and smooth phrases. Just press PLAY in the DAW and play a legato melody to immediately spark new ideas.

By combining the Rhythmic Legato and the Movements Sequencer, it is possible to come up with virtually endless new movements and playing melodies “into” them.

Nordic Folk Strings provides an ultra-realistic rendition of the tagelharpa combined with performance and writing flexibility. It can be used for traditional epic music as it can be pushed to write articulated and complex parts. Or you can get creative with the timbre by experimenting with the Tone Selector (Clean and Gnarly tone).

Nordic Folk Strings is for composers and music producers looking for the iconic strings sound of traditional nordic music. It evokes images of vast frozen lands from the Viking age and scenes of ancient battlefields.
