Redtron SE
System :
Win32
Format :
VST
Redtron SE uses samples recorded from a 1973 Mellotron M400S.
The samples have been cleaned (not too much) by removing an annoying 60Hz hum and some unwanted "clicks" and "pops" here and there.
The samples have been cleaned (not too much) by removing an annoying 60Hz hum and some unwanted "clicks" and "pops" here and there.
- Nine sound types : MKII Flute, MKII 3 Violins, M400 Cello, MKII Brass, M400 Combined Choir, M400 String Section, M400 Woodwinds, M300A Violins, M300B Violin.
- No loops : like the original Mellotron, each sound is eight seconds long with, in many cases, "the bad endings".
- Exclusive "Mellotronic Click Switch" (MCS).
- Layer (two sounds A & B) and split possibilities (octave shift).
- Independent parameters for sound A & B.
- Full MIDI automation.
- Global Volume control.
- Global Tone control.
- Global Pitch control.

I really like the Sound of the MK Flute, but the DAW (Reaper) crashes everytime I choose the WaveOut audio device, because of this plugin.

A lot of useless sounds, but found few very useful sounds. This can play very low and high notes also, which seems to be problem too many plugins. 5/5 sound with the best ones.

There's no sound coming through, when enabled and volume turned up. I'm in LMMS. Any help?

Now found this in Cakewalk under Container. Not working though - does not load the sf2 files. Redtron 400 works ok and the SE version works in Nanohost but not in Cakewalk. Does anyone know how to fix? Thanks

Having problems with this one - Cakewalk seems to scan it but does not enter it into the list of available plugins. Other 32 bit plugins work fine.

Fantastic plugin! How do I reset a patch? If I load e.g. Birmingham Fanfare, play with all the knobs and sliders (to ruin it), then load another patch, then load Birmingham Fanfare again, all the ruined settings remain. To reset a patch, currently I have to delete the synth then add it again. Is there a reset button someone I cannot see? I am using Cakewalk. Thanks!

It is 32bit, you have to use JBridge to use on 64bit. Then it works fine.

Will you ever release an AAX version? I run Pro Tools on Windows 11, which is basically the only DAW where you can't get a Mellotron. I'd love to be able to use this

This honestly could compete with some of the paid mellotron plugins, it's pretty great and has like a noticeable vintage sound.

bro where the freak i need to put this folder in ?
Answer

There's not "Setup"/Install file so you have to Unzip the file and then copy + paste the "Redtron SE" folder into your VST Plugins Directory. Google whatever DAW you use and find out where the default VST Plugins Directory is. Then you might have to run a "Plugin scan" for it to show the new plugins.

The Brummie magic has been captured wonderfully on this plug in. There's even a preset called 'Birmingham Orchestra' Birmingham the city from which the Mellotron hails. Beautiful warm authentic sounds have been captured amazingly.Warmest keyboard there is This is free...it's fantastic.

I am absolutely stunned by this plugin. I've tried many Mellotron emulations (including those kinda expensive) and seriously, this one is definitely my favourite. I love these "proggy" presets. A no brainer for Genesis/King Crimson fans.

Used this since it first appeared even though I've got an old MS1 setup as a Mellotron, tend to use this plugin more often. It really does sound great. Are there any freeware developers out there who could make a passable free Ondioline emulator? People who love the Mellotron sound also downloaded.......

Woow pretty good stuff. Nice (and lots of) work you've done. I succesfully entered it as 64 bit version in Ableton Live 10 using Jbridge. Nice touch is that all parameters are ready for automation. Congrats. Couldn't afford a mellotron, and this VST is much handier than the original :-)

I converted it to 64bit. It crashes once in a while yeah. So I make a melody with this and render it out as Wav and throw that Wav back in DAW. That solves that. :)

it wont show up in my plugins i have fl studio 12.4 and i extracted it into the generator folder but it doesnt seem to work

I think it might be because your fl studio is running in 64 bit. I am having the same issue does not appear in my ableton.

it's because it goes in the vst folder silly. not the generator folder.

When you unrar it, you get a .dll file and a folder. Make sure to put both of these on the same folder where ALL your vst's are installed!

This VST is amazing, I finally get to own a mellotron :) BTW... they also have some other versions on their page, including an version of this one that DOES have loop / no loop option... and an MKV which is a 'double M400' - King Crimson used to tour with two of these in 1973/74. It has some great presets, like the "trick of the tail" choir sound and some Rick Wakeman sounds - and King Crimson sounds, of course. Amazing VSTs from Redtron... the only "bad" thing about any of them is that you cannot load two instances (ie: one on track 01, another on track 02) at the same time. You just have to 'render' the first track then set up the second track with the VST. I cannot thank Redtron enough for making ahd sharing these Tron VSTs.. amazing stuff :)

With FL Studio 20 (32-bits) I manage to use two instances of Redtron SE but it makes the workstation a bit unstable.
