How 6 track tapes work!
The idea behind 6 track tapes is to provide 5 unique blends. Here’s how……………………..
You have the possibility of positioning your headblock in 5 positions:
A / A+B / B / B+C / C.
When you choose your 6 tracks, say Flute/Violins/Brass/String Section/Eight Choir/Church Organ, they will be allocated as follows:
A = Flute / Violins
A+B = Violins / Brass
B = Brass / SS
B+C = SS / Eight
C = Eight / Church Org.
You can create 5 unique blends depending on how wild you want to make your choices.
By necessity, these tapes will be tuned up to avoid hazardous clashings of pitch which exists to some extent in all Mellotron recordings.
