The M-Tron Pro virtual instrument is a remarkable emulation of the
classic Mellotron . the unique tape playback keyboard made famous by
such luminaries as The Beatles, Yes, Led Zeppelin and The Moody
Blues.

The 3.5GB sound library features nearly 200 tape banks (sample sets)
including those from the M-Tron, 19 of which have been remastered at
London.s legendary Abbey Road Studios resulting in a warmth of tone
surpassing the originals.

M-Tron Pro also delivers 45 brand-new tape banks and over 700 patches,
many created by world-class recording artists and programmers. Utilise
the patches or open the lid to access G:sampler.s easy editing
controls for layers, splits, reverse, halfspeed and much more. It can
be used in standalone mode (Mac/PC) or as a plug-in for most popular
host applications.


A Virtual Classic... and Beyond

Dating back to the pre-digital 1960s, the Mellotron was one of the
first sample-based keyboards. Artists such as The Moody Blues, Yes,
Pink Floyd, The Beatles, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Genesis and later
OMD, Radiohead and Oasis have used them to emulate strings, choirs and
other orchestral instruments, while the BBC used them extensively for
sound effects.

When pressed, each key engaged playback of a discrete strip of tape
containing an eight-second recording of that note played on an
instrument such as a violin. The tape rewound after key release. The
lack of looping forced the player to adapt his playing style giving
the instrument a unique playing characteristic in addition to its
already distinct sound. The more commercial models featured the
ability to switch between three different sound sets within the
installed tape bank . and adventurous owners were able to physically
swap tape banks with care and patience.

We first paid homage to this venerable keyboard with the M-Tron. Now
M-Tron Pro goes far beyond . and is as much a labor of love as the
Mellotron itself. We're also supplying over 40 of the tape banks
looped.


More Under the Hood

Lift the lid of the M-Tron Pro and you.ll discover a whole new set of
easy yet powerful editing controls that take the Tron experience way
beyond what the original inventors ever imagined.

Set up your own splits and layers, apply vintage ensemble and delay
effects, and sculpt your sound with low-pass, band-pass and high-pass
resonant filters. And that.s just the beginning. You.ll find tape
reverse, tape half-speed and a slew of synth-type parameters.making
the M-Tron Pro a remarkable source for unique signature sounds far
beyond the basic tape banks sounds themselves.

Programmable MIDI CC control implementation with MIDI Learn lets you
control it all from your MIDI controller and there.s dynamic keyboard
control including filter aftertouch.


Standalone or Host Operation

You can use the M-Tron Pro by itself or as a plug-in for most popular
host applications including Live, Cubase, Logic, GarageBand, SONAR,
Digital Performer, ACID and Pro Tools|HD., Pro Tools LE. and Pro Tools
M-Powered. software.

Compatible formats include VST 2.4 (Mac/PC including VSTi), RTAS.
(Mac/PC) and Audio Units (Mac). In other words, it.s easy to integrate
M-Tron Pro with the rest of your studio and use it just about any way
you want.
