I don’t own an MM8, and am curious if there is a specific mellotron voice in the unit. I have an MO6 and a Rack XS and wondering how he is achieving that tone. No need to watch the whole video, still a classic. Nice job by the young ones, with the master watching… Thanks G.P.

You can create your own mellotron-like voices by selecting orchestral strings as the main element, and making the sound more “vintage” by using a band-pass filter cutting some of the lows and highs. I like also to use an LFO assigned to pitch to add slight variations in the sound. I don´t know if the MM6 can do that, but the XS can for sure. |

Benoit- thankyou for your input. That’s the kind of info that helps alot. I found the Tron string voice on my MO6 and played around with it. Haven’t tried the XS Rack yet, but I’ll try what you suggest. Yes, vintage is what I’m aiming for. Thanks G.P. |
