GForce Software M-Tron MkII v1.2.0 [WiN, MacOSX]

The GForce MkII celebrates the extremely rare and highly coveted original dual manual 'trons, the Mellotron® MkI/MkII and Chamberlin® Musicmaster.

Whilst M-Tron Pro IV continues to focus on the chromatic sounds of the Mellotron M400 and is probably the first 'tron you'll want, its GForce MkII sibling is a unique and exclusive library with specialist tools for tackling the rhythms, accompaniments, and unique playing styles found in earlier Mellotrons MkI/MkII and Chamberlins.

Originally conceived as the ultimate Home Entertainment Console, the UK-made 1963 Mellotron MkI/MkII was a dual-manual tape-based instrument. The left manual's 35 notes replayed a combination of 18 Rhythms and Accompaniments (66 on the GForce M-Tron MkII*), and the right manual (also 35 notes) replayed 18 lead sounds (66 on M-Tron MkII*).

GForce MkII was designed for composers and producers who want access to the evocative tones of the original dual manual Chamberlin®, Mellotron® MkI, and MkII instruments. Special emphasis was placed on the Rhythms and Accompaniments, which capture a moment in time between the 1950s and late 1960s.
