Fans of the classic Mellotron sound will want to checkout Artifake_Labs' RedTron_MKV, a free VST instrument plug-in for Windows that emulates the Mellotron MKV, one of the rarest Mellotron ever made.

Features:

• Realistic user interface.
• Six sound types : 3 Violins, 8-Voice Choir, Flute, Brass, String Section, Cello.
• “Loop” and “Non-Loop” modes : as the original “Mellotron”, each sound is eight seconds long but you can switch to “Loop Mode” and allows the samples to loop continuously.
• Layer possibilities & independent parameters for layer A & B:
• Volume, Tone, Reverb, Delay, Pan, Octave, Note & Attack parameters.
• Delay effect (Amount, Time, Feedback & Pan parameters).
• Reverb effect (Mix, Width, Size & Damp parameters).
• Pitch control.
• Can be used as Soundfont Player to mix any .sf2 file with “Tron sounds” or to extend the sound palette.
