Vintage Mellotron also allows you to blend any two sounds together, including
combinations that weren’t available in the original tape library. A further bonus is control of
the balance between sounds, a feature not found on the original machines.
A tape speed control mimics the tonal fluctuations caused by this feature on the original
instruments. Also included are octave transposition and tone controls. See Logic Pro
Vintage Mellotron controls.
As with other instrument plug-ins, you can fully automate Vintage Mellotron parameters.
Logic Pro Vintage Mellotron controls
Vintage Mellotron is divided into two sections. The upper section is used to choose one
or two sounds, set the playback octave for each, and to adjust the mix between them. The
lower section houses global controls for the entire instrument.
Vintage Mellotron parameters
Sound A/B pop-up menus: Choose an A or B instrument sound.
Sound A/B Transpose buttons: Set an independent playback octave for instrument
sound A or B.
This mimics the behavior of the half speed or double speed tape switches found on
some Mellotron models, but enhances these facilities by enabling independent octave
control for each sound.
Blend A/B knob: Set the level balance between instrument sound A and B. Set to the full
left or right position to hear sound A or B in isolation.
Tape Speed knob: Set the tape speed for all notes. This mimics the tonal fluctuations
caused by this control on the original instrument.
Tone knob: Rotate to the right to reduce bass and to make the sound brighter and more
nasal. Rotate to the left to reduce brightness, making the sound warmer and more
mellow.
Volume knob: Set the overall output level of Vintage Mellotron.
