http://www.gmediamusic.com/gforce/m-tron/mtronfaq.htmlYes, it is confusing, and you have to click around to find it. Like I
say, I haven't tried it yet. No stand alone version came in the box
when I bought it, but I later downloaded it; just haven't had time to
try it.
BTW, GMedia also make an outstanding virtual Arp Odyssey too!
BTW #2... I did once own a number of real vintage keyboard back in the
70s, including a suitcase 73 Rhodes, Wurly 140B, Odyssey, and others,
but never a Mellotron. (I did once sit in with a prog band who had a
Mellotron and an Arp 2600.) I miss a lot about those old instruments,
but I don't miss all the maintenance, tuning, etc... I have no desire
to own a real tron. The virtual stuff is a lot of fun, and in some
ways better than the originals.
I just got the Arturia Mini Moog, which is awesome! Sure, it's not
∗exactly∗ like the original. But it also has a lot of advantages over
the original ... patch memory, polyphony, ∗MIDI∗(!) ....
In terms of the Tron, I appreciate the real thing, believe me, and all
the great music made with it. But I mainly joined this group hoping to
perhaps bump into other users of M-Tron, other other virtual tron
solutions. Any other M-Tron users out there?
Best,
