Oktobass 是最深沉的音乐会弦乐器，其咆哮声如雷鸣般震撼整个房间。我们对这把震耳欲聋的野兽进行了采样，构建了一个庞大的虚拟乐器，提供 30 多种发音和超过 12GB 的内容。您会发现各种延音、短音、动态表达、真正的连奏、创意效果和数百个任意旋律短语。作为 Hyperion 交响乐系列的一部分，它提供了一套直观的选项、灵活的工具和鼓舞人心的演奏功能，从智能琶音和发音切换，到灵活的节奏同步和声音塑造 DSP 效果，一切都触手可及，让您轻松制作出栩栩如生的编曲。

第一把 Oktobass（也拼写为“Octobass”）由 Jean Baptiste Vuillaume 于 1849 年制造，但它在 19 世纪末成为传奇，在一个多世纪里失传但未被遗忘。 1996 年，低音提琴演奏家 Nicola Moneta、制琴师 Pierre Bohr 和琴弓制作师 Piero Cavalazzi 制作了第一把现代 Octobass。在过去的 25 年里，Moneta 在全球近 150 场音乐会上演奏了这把琴，但它至今仍是少数几把现存的琴之一。

这把 3.48 米（11.5 英尺）的巨琴在高台上演奏，使用一排机械杠杆来控制指板。巨大的琴身产生令人惊讶的细微差别，具有强烈的立体声运动和微妙的机械装饰。

我们与 Giorgio Riolo 和 Daniele Bertinelli 合作，在意大利米兰的 Moneta 私人画廊录制了这把 Octobass。它是在 F 孔处使用一对近距离大振膜麦克风录制的，以获得干燥而亲密的声音，并在 2 米处使用一对间距较大的全向麦克风录制，以获得明亮而生动的室内音质。麦克风可以实时混合，乐器可以自由放置在我们的虚拟舞台上，具有大量自定义环境菜单，因此可以轻松混合成您想要的任何安排。使用 Hyperion Solo Strings Oktobass，您的创意选择无穷无尽！

The Oktobass is the deepest concert string instrument, with a thunderous, room-shaking growl. We’ve sampled this bone-rattling beast to build a massive virtual instrument offering 30+ articulations and over 12GB of content. You’ll find a variety of sustains, shorts, dynamic expressions, true legato, creative effects and hundreds of aleatoric melodic phrases. As part of our Hyperion symphonic series, it provides a suite of intuitive options, flexible tools and inspiring performance features, from intelligent arpeggiation and articulation switching, to flexible tempo-synching and sound-shaping DSP effects, all at your fingertips to make it easy to craft brilliantly life-like arrangements.

The first Oktobass (also spelled “Octobass”) was built in 1849 by Jean Baptiste Vuillaume, but it drifted into legend by the end of the 1800s, lost but not forgotten for over a century. Then in 1996, double bass player Nicola Moneta, luthier Pierre Bohr and bow-maker Piero Cavalazzi constructed the first modern Octobass. Moneta has gone on to play it in nearly 150 concerts around the world over the last 25 years, though it still remains one of only a handful in existence today.

This 3.48 meter (11.5 ft) mammoth is played from a raised platform, using a row of mechanical levers to control the fingerboard. The cavernous instrument body produces a surprisingly nuanced character, with intense stereo movement and subtle mechanical ornamentation.

We worked with Giorgio Riolo and Daniele Bertinelli to capture the Octobass at Moneta’s private gallery in Milan, Italy. It was recorded using a close pair of large-diaphragm mics at the F holes to achieve a dry and intimate sound, and a wide-spaced pair of omnis at 2 meters for a bright and vivid chamber quality. The mics can be blended in real-time, and the instrument can be freely positioned on our virtual stage, featuring a huge menu of our custom environments, so it’s easy to mix into any arrangement you desire. Your creative options are endless with the Hyperion Solo Strings Oktobass!
