Vintage Mellotron controls in Logic Pro for iPad
Vintage Mellotron lets you choose one or two sounds, set the playback octave for each, and adjust the mix between them.
Vintage Mellotron parameters
Vintage Mellotron provides two layers, indicated as Sound A and Sound B. Each sound can be independently transposed and you can set the balance between them with the Layer Blend parameter. Other available controls affect both layers.
Layer 1/2 pop-up menus: Choose an instrument sound for each layer.
Transpose Layer 1/2 buttons: Set an independent playback octave for the instrument sound chosen on each layer.
This mimics the behavior of the half speed or double speed tape switches found on some Mellotron models, but enhances these facilities by enabling independent octave control for each sound layer.
Layer Blend knob and field: Set the level balance between instrument sound A and B. Set to the full left or right position to hear layer 1 (Sound A) or layer 2 (Sound B) in isolation.Tape Speed knob and field: Set the tape speed for all notes of Sound A and Sound B. This mimics the tonal fluctuations caused by this control on the original instrument.
- Tone knob and field: Rotate to the right to reduce bass and to make the sound brighter and more nasal. Rotate to the left to reduce brightness, making the sound warmer and more mellow. This control affects all notes of Sound A and Sound B.
Volume knob and field: Set the overall output level of Vintage Mellotron.
Details parameters
Vintage Mellotron offers additional controls that were not available on the original instruments. These provide flexibility, but their use isn’t true to the source hardware.
Attack slider and field: Set the time required for the signal to reach the initial signal level, known as the sustain level. Not available on the original instrument.
Release slider and field: Set the time it takes for the signal to fall from the sustain level to a level of zero, after releasing a key. Not available on the original instrument.
Pitch Bend Ran(ge) knob and field: Set the pitch bend range in semitone steps. This allows you to use the pitch bend controller of your keyboard to bend Vintage Mellotron pitch. Not available on the original instrument.
Fixed Velocity button: Turn on to ignore incoming note velocity information from your MIDI keyboard or a MIDI region.
This mimics the behavior of the original instrument which was not velocity sensitive.
