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.
Sound FX 1
Originally compiled from the BBC’s sound library for the MkII Sound FX version these effects became popular with studios, TV and
radio stations all over the globe for their radio plays and jingles.
Split Choir
Another St Peter’s church choir recording containing a split male and female choir. (Male Choir 1-18 Female choir 19-35).
St Peters Choir Ah
Recorded in early 2003 at St Peter’s Church, Caversham UK. A modern and unique M-Tron recording.
St Peters Choir Oo’s
These modern recordings help drag the ‘tron kicking and screaming into the 21st century. An interesting change to the usual ‘tron
choirs, and again, unique to the M-Tron.
Strings 1
Recorded from a Mk II ‘tron and consisting of three Violins, Viola and Cello.
Strings 2
More of a Strings and Brass hybrid sound
Strings 3
Recorded from a Mk II ‘tron although the aficionado’s say this originally comes from an M300.
Strings & Choir
No surprises here in that this sound is a layered strings and choir sound recorded directly from an M400.
String Section
Two string sections completely out of time with each other.
Synth Brass
In the late 60’s and early 70’s when the first synthesizers became popular (but still unaffordable for the average man) the recorded
sawtooth waves of a layered Moog revealed the Mellotron’s polyphonic ability to cope with any challenge of the rising synth era.
Synth Trumpet
Reminiscent to the ARP Trombone this artificial trumpet with its oscillator slide and the early M400’s inaccuracies is a unique relic
of the times when all synths were called Moog or ARP.
Tripled 8 Choir
Imagine 24 male and female voices of the 70’s most famous choir at your fingertips. Definitely one of our favorite ever ‘tron
sounds.
Trombones & Trumpets
Recorded from a Mk II ‘tron.
