![]() ![]() Philosophically, I have nothing against this in fact, I quite like it. For example, the Mellotoon GUI offers a sostenuto pedal and a damper (sustain) pedal and, when you play and hold notes, you no longer need to count to eight Toontrack has looped the sounds so that you can sustain them ad infinitum. ![]() Consequently, Mellotoon is a bit of a departure for Toontrack and, whereas the hammered, plucked and sucked instruments concentrate on authenticity, Mellotoon, well, doesn’t. ![]() What can it offer that we haven’t seen before? The InstrumentĪlthough it can be purchased as an instrument in its own right, Mellotoon can also be obtained as a sample expansion for the Toontrack EZkeys line, which already includes grand and upright pianos, as well as electro–mechanical pianos, pianets and clavinets. Whether you love it or hate it, the Mellotron is perhaps the most sampled electronic keyboard in existence. A low–speed switch? No It’s all been done. Better sampling of the original sounds? No. Is there room in the world for another Mellotron emulation? Perhaps the way to justify one would be to give it a different set of features from anything that’s come before. The Mellotron is not lacking in software emulations, so what does EZkeys Mellotoon have to offer?
