Kea « Notice Mellotron »
Published on 08/01/12 at 14:25Installation is simple a posteriori but can be bewildering at the time. Explanation: Once the download is complete and the installation is complete (validated serial number etc ...) we are left with the SampleTron without presets. You have to go download the sounds on the site of IK (3 times a giga roughly), which is in its behalf in the product tab.
Then we open again its software and there is still no presets, you must rename the shortcut preferences in instruments, browse, library.
(After all rolls. Note that it is the same for SampleMoog.)
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Imac 2010, 4 giga ram. No worries, a little more ram would certainly smoother transition from one sound to another, but nothing dramatic.
OVERALL OPINION
Purchased promo was on hand classic Mellotron sounds, used in musical contexts much broader as it seems at first. Indie rock, electronica, the possibilities are quite broad ... In addition there are a few nuggets of rarest instruments and sounds very inspiring.
The more the software is its ability to combine up to 16 different sounds together to achieve results very moose. Classical effects (reverb, delay) are there, along with some most surprising (phonograph, crusher, auto). In short, we get sounds quite flexible in the end.
With the promotion of IK Multimedia to 30 euros, it's unbeatable for the quality of the product supplied. At more than 160 euros, which may seem less of a priority in a library of sounds can be a relevant choice nonetheless.
