M-Audio 640-118 Megatron Organ, Megatron Strings, Male Female Choir, Mixed Choir, MkII Flute

Megatron Organ

A hybrid organ sound created by layering a more recent recording of a church organ together with old ‘tron tapes. Big and powerful.

Megatron Strings

A hybrid string section created by layering a more recent recording of tremolo strings with old ‘tron string recordings.

Male Female Choir

A split male and female choir. (Male choir notes 1-17, Female choir notes 18-35)

Mixed Choir

Sometimes known as 8 Choir because it features four male and four female voices in unison.

MkII Flute

Do you still believe you already got the original ‘Strawberry Fields’ flute in your library? Try this one! Taken from a microphoned 1965 MkII you can clearly tell the difference. Pink Floyd’s ‘Julia Dream’‚ from 1968 is another good source for this vintage marvel.

MkII Church Organ

We only know of King Crimson’s 1970 ‘Lizard’ album where this rarely heard organ was used. If you like the typical fast vibrato/Leslie organs of the first psychedelic era (do you remember The Electric Prunes‚ ‘Mass in F-Minor?’) then this will be your instrument.

MkII Guitar

A totally unusual 60’s guitar with a special plucked electric bass on the lowest keys. Crazy.

MkII Piano

Sounds like the ‘vicar’s piano’ but Pink Floyd liked it on their 1968 ‘It Would Be So Nice’ single.

MkII Tenor Sax

Another microphoned recording, this time of a very rarely heard saxophone played in the style of its time.

MkII Trombone

Mike Pinder’s sweet brass of the Moody Blues’ 60’s and 70’s recordings. Also a microphoned recording.

MkII Violins

A microphoned recording from an original MkII. This famous 3 Violins sound offers the magical hollow strings sound of the mid

60’s. Reminiscent of Traffic, John Lennon, Brian Auger, Rolling Stones, Manfred Mann, etc...

MkII Organ No2

A beautiful Hammond sound with a slow Leslie which in the wrong hands can sound like a UK seaside pier organ. Try to remember the Genesis ‘Seven Stones’ intro instead.

MkII Vintage Violins

Taken directly from Eberhard Schoener’s MkII this is the best ‘tron violins recording we know. Interestingly, all copies from the original master-tapes could be tailored with an equalizer to personal taste, so the differences were quite big.

MkII Violin Orchestra

These multi-layered violins offer a warm, thick string sound you can only get from two MkII vintage ‘trons played simultaneously. If you are looking for the full-on 1960’s and 1970’s progrock violins magic, don’t search any further.

Moog Bass + Bells

A custom made tape for Frank Zappa’s band. A real rarity.

(Moog Bass notes 1-18 Tubular Bells notes 19-35)
