*SOLVED* Redtron SE Mello VST, Anyone successfully using this? Recommend?
*See my post below* I tried installing it, but it's not working. If you got he Redtron working, could you tell me how to install it? It was simply a .dll and an accompanying folder with soundfonts I think? Where should that folder go? Thanks!

+1 Its the most comprehensive and it sounds very good. There are a lot of expansion packs available. If you have the full version of Kontakt check out Hollowsun. I like the original "Newtron Bomb" which is now only available as part of the Prog Pack for its raw no nonsense approch. They also have an updated version Newtron Bomb III this has two layers, extended range and a lot of options for varying the sound, yes its a lot more versatile but I still like the rawness if the original.

I have the Hollow Sun Bomb and I love Hollow Sun samples, but the GForce plug is so much more versatile. The flute part on Strawberry Fields is there in spades!!! G Force has been great about supporting their synths. I have Imposcar (OSCAR), M-Tron Pro (mellotron), VSM (my favorite string synth!), Minimonsta (really great implementation, if not completely true to original. Plus you can sort of get the memorymoog sounds!), and Oddity 2 (a great ARP Odyssey take!). I wish they would come out with more!

The Redtron SE should work OK in SONAR. Unzip the Redtron_SE+1.5.zip into your scan path. It will create a Redtron_SE folder containing the Redtron_SE.dll and another Redtron_SE folder. When scanned using default settings the synth shows up in SONAR as Container (32-bit). This is because the developer did not change the default name provided by Synthedit. I agree with the recommendations for M-Tron Pro but it is a little pricey. G-Force does have sales but not very often. Before I picked up M-Tron Pro. I tried a variety of things to get Mellotron sounds. The precursor to Redtron SE was one of them. Redtron use soundfont files based on samples created by Taijiguy found at http://leisureland.us/audio/MellotronSamples/MellotronSamples.htm around the time the original samples were posted there was a thread in this forum about them http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/1410821 and BRock created sfz files for the samples. Unfortunately, the links in BRock's post are bad now. It has been some time since I looked at this stuff. I have sfz files for the samples. Some are BRock's original files, some I may have modified and some I am not sure where they came from or if I made them myself. Anyway, I can put them up for download if anyone wants them and/or make them available in the User Contribution thread. FWIW, the Redtron SE modified samples are stored in soundfonts in the Redtron SE folder. They may be played with any soundfont player. I converted the soundfonts to sfz files and added them to Rapture. I also bought the DSF Mellotron pack for CSC when it was on sale some time ago for $10. The samples are OK. I created my own Rapture programs for them to avoid using the 32bit CSC. I would probably use Rapture Session now. WRT Rapture Session, it might have some tron programs, I do not know because I have Rapture Pro. Rapture Pro definitely includes tron programs. There are some tron-like programs in some of the other bundled synths. Nori Ubukata's "Art Rock Basics" contains Mellotron samples and presets for Synthmaster. Being sfz based they work in any sfz synth. Occasionally UVI gives there Mello pack away as a promo item. Not sure I would buy it though. There is another free pack of samples mention in Deals ATM http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3639943 I would grab it and make some sfz files for Rapture but my search for trons ended when I bought M-Tron Pro.

scook!
you're the man!
It is called "Container" in the menu- that's it!
the crazy part is i actually noticed the word container when i was checking for it in the plugin manager, but I didn't think to try it.
To everyone else- you are ALSO awesome for all the great input, so Thank You!
For now, I'll play with this freebie, it sounds great to me.
