New M-Tron Tape Banks Released

March 04, 2002

Continuing on the success of 'M-Tron Tape Banks Vol 1', GMEDIA Music, manufacturers of the award-winning Phat.Boy MIDI controller and GForce multi-format CD ROM's announce the release of a second set of sounds for the award winning M-Tron VST plug-in instrument.

M-Tron Tape Banks Vol 2 provides M-Tron VST owners with a lavish collection of 24 rare and sought-after sounds including several custom tapebanks specially recorded for Tangerine Dream, Frank Zappa, Yes, plus a carefully constructed tapebank faithfully recreating the Genesis' Watcher of the Skies string, brass and bass accordian pad.

All sounds for M-Tron Tape Banks Vol 2 were compiled from the extensive collection of Mellotron aficionado Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock, including an ultra rare double-keyboard MkV, previously owned by Klaus Schultze and a black M400 previously owned by a spy for the East German Secret Service!

"What creates the Mellotron's vivid and animated tone is a lucky combination of factors like slightly detuned instruments that were played in the manner of their time, with a pinch of tape noise, distortion and pitch inaccuracy added I am very proud to offer these sounds to all friends of that fantastic psychedelic era with its spacey tunes for the first time. Enjoy it."
