Fracture Sounds Glacier Keys v2.0 KONTAKT

Fracture Sounds Glacier Keys v2.0 是一款基于斯坦威 Model D 三角钢琴录制的独特钢琴音源，它专注于采样钢琴泛音演奏，呈现出如冰晶般通透、玻璃质感的声音。这种演奏方式原本广泛用于弦乐，通过轻触琴弦来激发泛音而不是主音，通常无法在传统演奏中持续表现。Glacier Keys 将这一技巧以采样形式高度还原，使你像演奏普通钢琴一样自然地触发泛音，为配乐带来前所未有的清澈质感与灵动氛围。

v2.0 升级引入了全新 UI 和响应控制功能，用户可以精细调整音色动态与表现力度。此外，新增的 8 个 Atmosphere Layers（共计 11 个）可通过调制轮进行混合，为音色添加更具深度与空间感的铺底氛围。你还可以在近场、中场、远场三组麦克风之间自由调配，从而快速在亲密感与广阔感之间切换。此外还保留了踏板噪音、击键声、共鸣音等可控参数，使整体演奏更加真实可感。Glacier Keys 同时支持 NKS 和免费 Kontakt Player，无需额外购买完整版 Kontakt 即可使用，是一款非常适合电影、剧集、氛围音乐或深度情感类作品的钢琴利器。

Glacier Keys
A distinctive sound, made possible by sampling. Glacier Keys delivers rich piano harmonics performed on a Steinway D, creating a shimmering, glass-like timbre that is entirely unique.

A harmonic is created by gently touching a string in just the right place to mute the fundamental tone and allow the harmonic, an octave above, to resonate.

Glacier Keys takes this concept, typically found in string libraries, and applies it to the Steinway Model D concert grand piano. Through the act of sampling this technique in detail, Glacier Keys allows you to perform harmonics as easily as you would a regular piano – something which would be impractical, if not impossible, to achieve in a live recording. This piano feels natural to play while delivering a glass-like timbre that’s truly unique.

Along with these distinct raw sounds, Glacier Keys includes 11 Atmosphere Layers and a variety of microphone positions, offering quick ways to alter the piano’s perspective and tone. These features are explored through 11 snapshots curated by the Fracture Sounds team, providing a one-of-a-kind addition to any score.

New Update
Glacier Keys has been expanded with the latest update featuring our newest innovations, including response controls that can completely reshape the default patch’s original sound. The update also introduces a refreshed user interface and an additional 8 Atmosphere Layers, providing much greater variety and options beyond the original library.

Detailed Controls
As with all our piano libraries, we have taken a detailed approach to sampling Glacier Keys, capturing every nuance—including the mechanical noises of the pedals and hammers. We have also added a room tone control, allowing you to reintroduce the natural ambience picked up by the microphones, which is often lost during the sample-cleaning process.

Microphone Options
Glacier Keys introduces individual microphone mixes to our piano lineup. With the option to choose from a broadcast-ready mix of close, mid, and far microphones, you can dramatically transform the sound, shifting from intimate to ambient with ease.

Atmosphere Layers
Atmosphere Layers add rich, evolving pads beneath the raw piano samples, allowing for seamless blending and customisation. Controlled by the Atmosphere Intensity (linked to CC1/Mod Wheel), these layers transform the piano’s sound, making the instrument truly immersive and instantly inspiring.

NKS Support and Kontakt Player compatibility
We are delighted to offer full NKS support for Glacier Keys. Harnessing the power of Native Instruments’ Komplete Kontrol keyboards, you have full hands-on control of the instrument, using the built-in display and parameter controls on the keyboard. This also means that Glacier Keys is accessible to blind and visually impared musicians. Furthermore, Glacier Keys is compatible with the free Kontakt Player, with activation through Native Access, meaning you can use the library without purchasing any additional software. You can download Kontakt Player from the Native Instruments website.
