OT - Hats Off To A Job Well Done! M-Tron Pro

I love G-Force Software. They make good replicas of vintage gear at very affordable prices.

I just got the new M-Tron Pro - a major leap over the M-Tron (which I grew to love). It looks like it uses a similar engine to the Virtual String Machine to play back samples either from the original variations of the Mellotron or modern recreations of that hissy grainy sound. Before too many people say "Yeah, like I need another sampler" that is not what this is.

I dont think there is a demo because the sound file is one big 3.5GB beastie. For those with a budget to allow something that has a very different vibe from a long time ago in a Galaxy far far away, the M-Tron Pro, impOSCar, Mellohman...oh and especially the VSM - I wish more companies offered cool products at these prices. G-Force and Audio Damage get my awards for best value and in some cases best in class too.

Just giving credit where credit is due.

I see your M-Tron Pro and raise you an Oddity.

Have you tried that new glitch sequencer effect thing of ADs?

I am a junkie. I dont even really play keyboards. I use my Ztar.

I own almost all of the NI line, the AAS line, the G-Force line, the U-he line, the Spectrasonics line... It is sort of embarassing to admit what a chore it is to reinstall everything.

I prefer my hardware, but some of it (My beloved Wave and Memorymoog and 4 voice and modular oh and the Synthi AKS...) are also investments. I paid like $5500 for my Wave. The last one that sold was about 10k. I got a similarly sweet deal on my AKS - around $3500 and the last mint one I saw was 2x that amount.

In the hardware world, I am preserving part of musical history for the next generation - and for fun and profit.

Sometimes I think I have as much fun learning how to create a sound as I do actually using it.

By the way, staying current is very time consuming. But i always download every update and pay for every upgrade.

you'd be at pains to sell them.. be honest.. they aren't an investment.. I know 2 people who collects synths.. one is at pains to part with any of his small collection.. the other NEVER sold any of them and they got shipped from the US etc.. fedex long before it was far easier to search on the net for them (maybe that was better in ways I guess)
