3 1 2 M-T ron – a brief history The M-T ron is a virtual emulation of one of the most inspirational and unique instruments ever produced, the Mellotron ® .
4 4 3 Birotron Conceived by Dave Biro with the help of keyboard wizard Rick Wakeman, the Birotron attempted to overcome the problems of the eight-second note duration by implementing the use of eight-track cartridges instead of the various tape widths used in both Chamberlin’s and Mellotron’ s.
5 6 5 Installing the M-T ron & T ape Banks Because every note of each Mellotron ® sound was sampled separately , the average size of an M-T ron Tape Bank is approximately 2 1MB. There are over 1 00 Tape Banks featured in this collection resulting in close to 2.
6 8 7 M-T ron Controls Function Knob . A. Once the M-Tron is open the control panel appears with the Function Knob set to position A and the panel lid closed. Playing the M-Tron from its own keyboard (or connected MIDI K eyboard) will play the default sound.
7 9 The T ape Banks 15 Choir A rare 15 male/female voice choir . An interesting alternative to the famous 8 choir . Accordion Chords A selection of accordion chords recorded from a Mk II.
8 Brass 2 Mixed Brass section comprising of trombone, sax and trumpets. Brass B Revised The ‘tron’s most famous brass in its ultimate extremely fat and powerful version. Cello This favorite of King Crimson was originally played by Reg Kirby , the cellist who performed on classic tracks such as ‘Eleanor Rigby’ .
9 EFX 2 A variety of interesting, unusual and weird sound effects. English Accordion Recorded from a Mk II ‘tron, this sound is pure nostalgia. Flutes Probably the most recognizable flute sound of all time. Originally made famous on ‘Strawberry Fields’ and ‘Stairway T o Heaven’ and more recently used by Oasis.
1 0 Megatron Organ A hybrid organ sound created by layering a more recent recording of a church organ together with old ‘tron tapes. Big and powerful. Megatron Strings A hybrid string section created by layering a more recent recording of tremolo strings with old ‘tron string recordings.
1 1 Muted Brass Another microphoned recording for total authenticity . One of the Moody Blues’ ingredients of their early orchestral sound. Oboes Oboes recorded directly from a Mk II ‘tron Orchestra The ultimate symphonic ‘tron powertool. Orchestra & Moog Fat orchestra with a big Moog bottom.
12 Second Flute This is a real rarity of the early 80’s. Intended to push the good old ‘tron further in the battle against the forthcoming digital samplers, the second flute never quite made it to the 1963 (first) flute’ s full fame. Solo Viola One of the presumably ‘lost master-tapes’ recordings.
13 Vibes Recorded from a set of tapes that had clearly seen better days, we’ve been surprised at the number of people who love this vibe sound. Viola & Cello An ultra-rare combination of the presumably lost master-tape‚ Viola and a slightly different Cello recording.
14 Bill Wyman’s Mk II Klaus Schulz’s Mk V, M400 – known as ‘Snowwhite’ M400 – Walnut An M300 with speaker cabinet.
