Artifake_Labs releases
Redtron_SE (Mellotron)
29th April 2011
Artifake_Labs has released
Redtron_SE,
a Special Edition of the Redtron_400.
It's free and is available for Windows as a VST
Instrument plug-in.
This VST plug-in uses the Taijiguy's
Mellotron samples (taken from a 1973 Mellotron M400S
- Serial #500). The samples have been cleaned (not
too much) by removing an annoying 60Hz hum and some
unwanted "clicks" and "pops" here and there.
No loops: as the original Mellotron, each
sound is eight seconds long with, in many cases,
"the bad endings".
Exclusive "Mellotronic Click" switch. On
real Mellotrons, "Click" can be heard at the
beginning of a note, when the tape comes in
contact with the replay head. These "clicks" are
here randomly generated, so you don't hear twice
the same and they can appear on any key; A
rotary knob allows you to control the effect
intensity (of course, you can also completely
disable it).
Layer (two sounds A & B) and split
possibilities (octave shift).
