Vibes, Viola & Cello, Violins, VP Choir, VP Males

Vibes

Recorded from a set of tapes that had clearly seen better days, we’ve been surprised at the number of people who love this vibe sound.

Viola & Cello

An ultra-rare combination of the presumably lost master-tape‚ Viola and a slightly different Cello recording.

Violins 1

The famous 3 Violins recorded from the line-out of a modiﬁed MkII. This is the bone-ﬁde classic string sound featured on countless records since 1964. The Moody Blues’ Mike Pinder used this sound in his Mk II Mellotron® for every Moody Blues album he recorded, processing it with EQ and an EMT plate reverb.

VP Choir

A mixed male and female tone taken from the VP330 Plus and much loved by early synth pioneers.

VP Ensemble

A mixed choir sound combined with the instantly recognizable sound of the

Roland chorus.

VP Males

A male-only tone, similar to the VP choir, again, much loved by early synth pioneers.

VP Rhythm 1

An interesting vocoder rhythm recorded at 120 BPM

VP Rhythm 2

Another interesting vocoder rhythm recorded at 120 BPM.

VP Swell

An evolving single-note vocoded sound. Play chords for more fun.

Wine Glass

Fantastic! Not least because the age of these tapes has created some very wobbly wine glasses indeed. Note: There are only 25 notes in this Tape Bank.

Woodwind

A typical Mellotron® woodwind sound.

Yes Strings

A full-bodied custom tape especially recorded for Patrik Moraz’ live shows with Yes. Never heard on any recordings.
