I also got a subscription just to get this pack and I really dig it. I've been looking for a nice, reasonably priced Mellotron instrument since I don't exactly plan on using it on every song.

Also picked up the Purple Kit, nice stuff guys.

In the end we decided to go with the U47 through the Reeves as it was only slightly colored from the direct signal to (IMO) its benefit. Due to our download size constraints we opted for only this version to be made available.

All mellotrons (and tapes) are different. I think this particular one sounds brighter and more resonant than other libraries (including the M-tron) that I've heard. This is really a unique sound set. For those that have it, you can get some great effects by holding down a key at lower velocities and hearing the tape slightly off the head with all the pops and inconsistencies. Try putting a delay or some long decay reverbs off the end of it - great for dub ;)
Hmm that sound really nice and i'm being drawn to your attention to detail.

Seriously, this is the most inspiring instrument/whatever I have gotten in a long time. I could play this for hours.

And the price is so very very right.

You can't do this with current packs.
You have to get a month subscription...for half the price.

Re: Puremagnetik Releases Mellotron Micropak for Live 7

Microtron Tape 2 is now out! :lol:

http://bit.ly/zKPoi

Microtron is undoubtedly the most comprehensive, natively programmed Mellotron sound set for Ableton Live. Microtron Tape 2 builds upon Live's rack features to create the blending effects between tape sounds as can be achieved with a physical Mellotron. Native live effects are completely integrated with multisample mode racks so that any Live 7 or 8 user can instantly load these sounds.

Legendary Sounds at Your Fingertips

MK II Flute

Undoubtedly the sound that defines Mellotron, the MKII flute instantly conjures images of 1967 Abbey Road. Not only the most famous Mellotron sound, but perhaps the eeriest, the MKII flute's dubious pitching has been in question throughout the decades. The change in timbre (they say two flutes were used) and odd intonation only adds to the haunting and mesmerizing character of this timeless sound.

Octave Recorders

The Octave Recorder is a newer sound composed of soprano, alto and tenor recorders. Playing fast staccato chords on this one can make it sound a bit like a harmonium. It has a solid woody tone with breathy articulations and is definitely a contender to fill up the mix with some organic elements.

Cello

Renown for its melancholy timbre and described by some as "wheezing and groaning" the Cello sound was originally recorded in the 1960s. A double bassist was used for the lower registers. Apparently the original session cellist did not wish to detune his cello for fear of damaging the instrument. Nonetheless, the Mellotron Cello recording is undoubtedly a unique character in the tape library.
