What M-Tron MkII Is For
M-Tron MkII is a virtual instrument designed to recreate the experience of 1960s tape keyboards, with their grainy textures, organic attacks, and characteristic rhythms/accompaniments. It targets pop, progressive rock, psychedelic, indie, cinematic, and ambient producers who want to inject an immediate retro color into their arrangements, whether for tape pads, rhythm patterns synced to the session, or expressive leads with touch sensitivity.Main Features
Reimagined Stations, Rhythms, and Accompaniments
Originally, each "Station" imposed a style, key, and tempo, making section mixing impossible. M-Tron MkII retains this iconic workflow while allowing you to combine Rhythms and Accompaniments from different Stations to multiply permutations and create hybrid accompaniments suited to your modern compositions.DAW Synchronization and Tape Control
The rhythm section and accompaniment can be synced to the host tempo, with transposition to stay in key. To recapture the feel of real tape mechanics, you have options for Half Speed, Reverse, Rewind management, and panning-ideal for transitions, cinematic builds, or deliberately lo-fi textures.Dual Rhythm Mode and Two-Keyboard Play
The Dual Rhythm Mode lets you layer two Rhythms/Accompaniments (from the Chamberlin and Melly MkI & II worlds) to fuse patterns and create unique "collage" grooves. Performance-wise, you can control the instrument with one 88-note keyboard or two separate keyboards to manage each manual, just like on double-keyboard models.Fine Editing, Playing Aids, and Effects
Refine the behavior of each key (tape start, detune, panning, key click) and save editing presets for quick recall of your settings. A Chord Finder provides visual assistance to play coherent Rhythms and Accompaniments. To finalize the sound, enjoy built-in reverb (modern or spring) and delay effects.Technical specifications
