CARTAGO – 未来的古代鼓
Cartago 是一个 Kontakt 库，以大量古代、现代和定制设计的电影打击乐为中心。Cartago 与著名音响设计师 Stefano Maccarelli 合作创建，后者广受好评的作品包括 Ethera 人声库系列、Elements、Kepler 等。Cartago 提供了丰富而精心制作的声音，并组织在两个功能强大的 Kontakt 乐器中。

Cartago 提供丰富的原声和设计打击乐器，从经典的管弦乐低音鼓、定音鼓和小军鼓到定制的罗马定音鼓和各种框架鼓。传统世界乐器也有很好的代表，包括日本太鼓、中东达布卡和西非非洲鼓，还有稀有的体鸣乐器，如响尾蛇鼓、丁丁鼓、叉铃和斯卡贝鲁姆鼓。

Cartago 包含两种多功能乐器：原声打击乐音序器和设计鼓组。这两种乐器都旨在为作曲家提供直观、友好的体验，实现无缝的打击乐音序和鼓设计，既有创意又高效。

1.原声打击乐音序器

原声打击乐音序器乐器有 51 个多采样鼓。每个鼓都有 12 个循环、最多 7 个动态级别和 3 个麦克风位置（近 1、近 2、房间）。 Close 1 和 Close 2 的麦克风位置根据采样的鼓而变化：对于框架鼓，它们分别对应前后，而其他配置用于不同尺寸和形状的鼓。对于每种鼓，都录制了 3 种不同的击打：对于像太鼓、低音鼓或更大的框架鼓这样的大鼓，这些分别对应中心、中间和边界，而其他发音方法则用于较小的鼓。该乐器具有 3 个独立的层，以便组合不同的打击乐声音，总共有 9 种不同的声音可以同时从键盘演奏。此外，原声打击乐音序器具有基于多个可实时互换模式的多步音序器，以及表达、紧密度和音阶等进一步的控制，以实现进一步更具表现力的动态控制。

2 . 设计鼓套件

设计鼓套件是一种面向声音设计的乐器，具有超过 2200 个一次性样本。它旨在创造性地分层和处理预先设计的鼓和打击乐样本，并以手指击鼓 MPC 方式演奏它们。事实上，Designed Drums Kit 基于 16 个独立的打击垫（位于 GUI 左侧），可以加载声音。Designed Drums Kit的基本概念可以概括为：将任何声音加载到任何打击垫，将任何打击垫映射到 MIDI 控制器上的任何键。您想拥有一种具有 16 种不同底鼓声音的乐器吗？您可以。您想在 16 个打击垫中的每一个上加载完全相同的小军鼓样本并在每个打击垫上独立操作它吗？您可以。您想通过探索大量的一次性选择来创建自己的套件吗？您可以。

– Acoustic Percussions Sequencer 中的样本以 .ncw 格式压缩。

-Designed Drums Kit 中的样本是常规 .wav 文件，可从样本文件夹访问。它们可以在 Kontakt 之外使用。

需要 Kontakt 6.8.0 完整版本（或更高版本）！

CARTAGO – Ancient Drums of the Future
Cartago is a Kontakt library built around an extensive collection of ancient, modern, and custom-designed cinematic percussions. Created in collaboration with renowned sound designer Stefano Maccarelli — whose acclaimed works include the Ethera vocal library series, Elements, Kepler, and many more — Cartago offers a rich array of meticulously crafted sounds organised in two highly powerful Kontakt instruments.

Cartago features a wide selection of both acoustic and designed percussive instruments, from classic orchestral bass drums, timpani, and snares to custom Roman Timpana and various frame drums. Traditional world instruments are also well represented, including Japanese Taikos, Middle-Eastern darbukas, and West African djembes, alongside rare idiophones like the crotala, tintinnabula, sistrum, and scabellum.

Cartago is structured into two versatile instruments: the Acoustic Percussions Sequencer and the Designed Drums Kit. Both instruments are designed for an intuitive, composer-friendly experience, enabling seamless percussion sequencing and drum design that’s as creative as it is efficient.

1. ACOUSTIC PERCUSSIONS SEQUENCER

The Acoustic Percussions Sequencer instruments features 51 multi-sampled drums.

Each drum features 12 round robins, up to 7 dynamic levels and 3 microphone positions (Close 1, Close 2, Room). The microphone position of Close 1 and Close 2 changes according to the sampled drum: for frame drums, they respectively correspond to front and back, whereas other configurations are used for drums of different size and shape.

For each drum, 3 different kind of hit have been recorded: for larger drums like Taikos, Bass drums or bigger frame drums, these correspond to Centre, Middle and Border respectively, whereas other articulations are featured for smaller drums.

The instrument features 3 independent layers, in order to combine different percussive sounds, with a total of 9 different sounds that can be played simultaneously from the keyboard.

Moreover, the Acoustic Percussions Sequencer features a multistep sequencer based on multiple interchangeable patterns in real time, and further controls like Expression , Tightness and Scale for a further, more expressive dynamic control.

2. DESIGNED DRUMS KIT

The Designed Drums Kit is a sound design oriented instrument that features over 2200 one-shot samples. It has been designed to creatively layer and manipulate pre-designed drum and percussive samples and playing them in a finger-drumming MPC fashion. In fact, the Designed Drums Kit is based on 16 independent pads (on the left of the GUI) to which a sound can be loaded.

The basic concept of the Designed Drums Kit can be summarised as: load any sound to any pad, map any pad to any key on your MIDI controller. Do you want to have an instrument with 16 different kick sounds? You can. Do you want to load the very same snare sample on each of the 16 pads and manipulate it independently per pad? You can. You want to create your own kit by exploring the vast selection of one-shots? You can.

– The samples in the Acoustic Percussions Sequencer are compressed in .ncw format.

– The samples in the Designed Drums Kit are regular .wav files and are accessible from the samples folder. They can be used outside of Kontakt.

Requires the FULL version of Kontakt 6.8.0 (or above)!
