When pressed, each key on the original instrument moved a tape head onto a piece of tape to play the note or sound. In order that we replicate the original instrument's tone as closely as possible each individual tape has been sampled and coded into the M-Tron. Each key on the M-Tron plays an individual recording of these tapes. Once the eight seconds of tape has been played it is simply re-wound. As with the original there are no loop points giving the instrument a unique playing characteristic. Furthermore, we have allowed ourselves some artistic license and added a few features not contained on the original hardware instruments. The M-Tron allows on-screen and MIDI control over volume, tone, pitch, amplitude envelope attack and release so you can shape those classic sounds until your heart's content.
