After a year of working on this pack, I’m proud to release the new Heretical Audio Mellotron Pack for Ableton Suite 12. I choose 40 of my favorite instruments and sampled them through my collection of 500 series preamps with no processing or EQ to keep the sound as faithful to the original hardware, while adding some of that transformer magic from analog preamps to give it that extra sauce
In addition, are 20 more instruments run through various processing like the Roland Space Echo, OTO Machines BAM, API 550a, and Neve 542.
Perfect for those looking to have the sound of the Mellotron hardware ready to go inside your computer. No need to lug around expensive hardware when traveling, just open your laptop and bang out song ideas on your QWERTY keyboard.
For less than the price of 2 Chipotle burritos w chips and a side of diarrhea, you can get the sound of a genuine hardware Mellotron in your DAW. Also, if you’re a Radiohead fan looking for all those classic M400 patches from OK Computer, I made sure to include all of them – ‘Cello’, ‘8-Voice Choir’, and ’16 Violins’.
Here’s a complete list of all the instruments and patches included in this pack:
