MEMOTRON-Part 2-The new digital Tron-A German introduction

The Teutonic Tronmeister himself, Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock, introduces in various films the vast possibilities of the new digital Tron: The Mighty MEMOTRON. Having provided the world with excellent Tron samples (M-Tron, Mellozone...) from his huge collection of 51 Mellos and about 140 tape frames, Klaus presents the ultimate Tron, the MEMOTRON.

Does this accomodate the mellotron samples cd rom from mike pinder?

[spacearbour]

Hi jsilence418,

the Memotron uses completely different sounds directly taken from 52 well-serviced Mellotrons (different models). A lot of effort went into this year-long labour of love to recreate those lovely noises that wrote musical history and still warm our hearts.

With memotronic regards

I have the rack version and it's amazing. Even if I already owned just about every sample bank and software emulation of the Tron, nothing beats hardware.

[spacearbour]

You are absolutely right: this mighty hardware tool simply blows your mind away!

Stack different sounds, map them across your keyboard or split them or even build zones where only some samples augment your basic bank, so many new combinations and sound layers can be created. Have fun and play!

With regards

How does the Rack version differ from the keybaord, can you still have the controllers of the keybaord mapped to midi controllers on another keyboard?

[spacearbour]

For the rack version all its controllers can be mapped to different Midi controllers of let's say a master keyboard. For example, the modulation wheel then acts as the track selector of the keyboard version, but with the possibility to blend 6 sounds (instead of 3 sounds of the keyboard version). Generally speaking the guys at MANIKIN tried to make the rack version as flexible as possible, allowing its user to create a lot of unheard, massive and impressive sounds that go far beyond the Tron.
