5Installing the M-Tron & Tape Banks
Because every note of each Mellotron® sound was sampled separately, the average size of an M-Tron Tape Bank is approximately 21MB. There are over 100 Tape Banks featured in this collection resulting in close to 2.5GB of data. The installation takes place via 4 CDs, each one containing a different selection of Tape Banks.
Included on the M-Tron Master CD are multiple versions of the M-Tron. The M-Tron installer allows you to install any or all versions via a single installer, one for Mac and one for PC.
PC - Insert the M-Tron Master CD (Disc 1) into your CD-ROM drive. From the setup window, select the “Install” option and follow the onscreen instructions carefully, entering your unique User Name and Registration codes EXACTLY as you find them printed within this Getting Started guide. Installation of each of the Tape Banks takes a few minutes, so please be patient.
The PC installer installs the M-Tron and all the additional Tape Banks via four CDs. During installation, you will be asked to insert each disc in turn until installation is complete.
Mac - Insert the M-Tron Master CD (Disc 1) into your CD-ROM drive. Double-click on the GForce M-Tron Disc 1 icon to open the disc. Double click on the MTron-CD1.dmg file and launch the installer. Installation of each of the Tape Banks takes a few minutes, so please be patient. Follow the onscreen instructions carefully and enter your unique User Name and Registration codes EXACTLY as you find them printed within the “Quick Start” guide. During installation, be sure to click on the Next button until the installation routine is complete.
After the installation of Disc 1 you can chose to install Discs 2, 3 and 4 or, if preferred, install these later.
