回想起经典摇滚的全盛时期，一种乐器屹立于其他乐器之上，这是一个 350 磅的庞然大物，它将永远改变我们对制作音乐的看法。这个怪物的核心是一系列磁带机，连接的键盘上每个音符一个，每个都播放独特的录制声音。每个键只有 8 秒的磁带和笨重的框架，这台机器有其局限性，但在那个时代仍然令人印象深刻，拥有多音色和真正的和弦“引擎”。因披头士乐队的热门歌曲“永远的草莓田”而一举成名，并被无数其他人使用，包括 The Moody Blues、滚石乐队和前卫摇滚传奇。是的，这是 60 年代的“必备”声音。虽然它的使用已经过时，但它所产生的影响已成为现代音乐制作的基础。
通过 Mello，我们的目标是为这种多产的乐器提供完整而真实的再现。数十种原始磁带在 3 台不同的机器上进行了多重采样，以便为您提供 28 种可用声音中每一种的最佳表现。为了捕捉现场体验，主要噪音和内部机械声音被立体声录制，包括磁带噪音和关闭声音，并且都可以混合品尝。
为了让 Mello 更加通用，我们添加了一些我们自己的技巧，包括模拟建模磁带延迟、混响、自定义同音模式为您提供立体声而不需要不需要的移调或合唱、可切换的多模式滤波器、一个 3-乐队均衡器等。 Mello 提供了与原版无法区分的温暖和黄油般的音色，并且在我们能做到的每一个方面，都是对 60 年代典型的录音室乐器的完美致敬。
此版本需要 R2R Falcon。
Hark back to the heyday of classic rock and one instrument stands above the rest, a 350lb behemoth that would forever change the way we think about making music. At the heart of this monster was an array of tape machines, one per note on the attached keyboard, each playing a uniquely recorded sound. With only 8 seconds of tape per key and a cumbersome frame this machine had its limitations but was nonetheless impressive for its time, boasting a multitimbral and truly polyphonic ‘engine’. Instantly made famous by the Beatles hit ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ and used by countless others including The Moody Blues, Rolling Stones, and prog rock legends Yes, this was the ‘must-have’ sound of the 60’s. While its use fell out of fashion the implications it made have become fundamental to modern music production.
With Mello we’ve aimed to deliver a complete and authentic recreation of this prolific instrument. Dozens of original tapes were multi-sampled on 3 different machines in order to give you the best representation of each of the 28 available sounds. To capture the live experience the key noise and inner mechanical sounds were stereo recorded, including tape noise and key-off sounds, and are all mixable to taste.
To make Mello even more versatile we’ve added a few tricks of our own, including an analog-modeled tape delay, reverb, a custom unison mode to give you stereo sound without unwanted transposition or chorusing, a switchable multimode filter, a 3-band EQ and more. Mello delivers a warm and buttery tone indistinguishable from the original and is, in every way we could make it, a perfect tribute to the quintessential studio instrument of the 60’s.
