Hi- seems like ages since I've posted anything- must be losing the struggle with that work/ life balance thing!
First of all, apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I thought that those of us who post music might be interested
Anyway, I already posted this on the 'Rampant Recording Technique' board, but here it is again!

Apparently its a free trial version of the M-tron plugin for those of you who (rather inexplicably! ) still persevere with the Mac. Being an enlightened PC user, I haven't been able to try it, so don't know what (if any) are the limitations imposed on the plug-in. I do know that it is superb and I use it all the time. Hope you find it useful.

That statement makes no sense to me, but thanks, I'll check this Mello thing out.

thanks,mark! i will keep this bookmarked-i am planning to purchase a mac mini in the near-ish future.....and i love mellotron/chamberlain sounds.....

What are the terms of the trial? I mean, can you save files and everything normally? I'm just curious before I download ...

Hi Kira- I know nothing about it other than what it says on the website. I assume there WILL be limitations as it says free trial, so that may just be a time limit, but as I don't have a Mac I wouldn't be able to tell you. As it's a VST plugin and standalone, there are no files to save. If your sequencer supports VST I would imagine it works (within the unknown limitations of course).
I just happened upon the link coz I was looking to buy the third Soundbank CD (with extra MkII Mellotron sounds), which I can't get because the original M-Tron has been discontinued. This is no doubt why it is being offered as a freebie, in the hope of attracting buyers for the new M-Tron Pro.

I have heard that during the trial period if you attempt to play the intro to Watcher Of The Skies, the program will reformat your hard drive.

jeffrey-i guess that is the mellotron afficianado's equivalent of playing "stairway to heaven" on guitar........

Hmmm, see a FEW familiar faces in this one?

Cool! The keyboardist in the Lemon Antennas would love to get this software.
