GMEDIA Releases Second Set of M-Tron Tape Banks
 March 5, 2002Continuing 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."
