plc, manufacturers of the award-winning Phat.Boy MIDI
controller, have released a new VST plug-in based on the classic
Mellotron keyboard instrument.
The M-Tron is the one of a new line of software releases under our
new GForce brand. The M-Tron combines state of the art software
technology with the highest quality content commented David
Spiers, developer at GMEDIA. Our M-Tron VST plug-in is a very
realistic simulation of the classic instrument which actually used
looped-tapes to create remarkable, distinctive sounds.
The M-Tron features 28 fantastic sound banks including strings,
flutes, choirs, mandolins, accordions, vibes, brass and rhythms.
The great combination of authentic, tape-based samples with the
flexibility as a VST software plug-in allow musicians to add cult
sounds to recordings.
M-Tron features Tone, Volume and Pitch controls plus new Attack
and Decay envelope features. "The slightly odd-ball quality of the
sounds are quite extraordinary." explained Jason Field, lead
programmer of the M-Tron. He added, "Bands including The
Beatles, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Manfred Mann and Oasis
have used the original Mellotron to great effect, and now these
fantastic sounds are available from a VST plug-in."
When combined with GMEDIAs award-winning Phat.Boy unit,
musicians gain instant, real-time control of the plug-in array of
features.
The M-Tron is fully compatible with the PC and Mac and is fully
compatible with the VST 2.0 specification used in Cubase and
LogicAudio.
The M-Tron retails for US$69.95 plus
shipping and is available in distinctive flight-case packaging from
retailers. For more information, visit their web site at www.gmedia.com. |
