The GForce M-Tron VST 2.0 Software Instrument is an expert model of the legendary British Mellotron. The Mellotron was an organ-like instrument manufactured between 1963 and 1986 that utilized a 35-note keyboard with each key controlling its own piece of tape. The tapes featured recordings of real players and instruments, arguably making the Mellotron the world's first sampler.<BR><BR>The M-Tron VST 2.0 captures all of the character of the original instrument by sampling every note of every key and adhering to the original 8-second limit of each note. This way, not only do the resultant sounds ebb and flow, all the inherent and nostalgic magic of each sound is closely observed - minor imperfections and all. This authentic VSTi has just undergone a complete rewrite and is now available for all current Windows and Mac platforms, including Windows XP and Mac OSX. Packaged in its own flight case box, GForce M-Tron includes 2.5GB of authentic Mellotron sounds, which adds up to 100 tape banks ranging from classic flute and strings to some wonderfully quirky rhythms. The M-Tron allows on-screen and MIDI control over volume, tone, pitch, amplitude, and envelope attack and release so you can shape those classic sounds to your heart's content.<BR><BR>The sounds of the original Mellotron can be heard on songs from The Beatles, The Moody Blues, Black Sabbath, Rick Wakeman, Oasis, Radiohead, and countless others.
