Mellotron Matching Mole Mellotron Matching Mole
Posted by: tronfan66

Video duration: 204 seconds

The gorgeous and haunting passage (using the same violins sound) from "Immediate Curtain", the last track on the first Matching Mole album. It's probably the angle at which it was filmed, but again the sounds of the tapes springing back to their starts is almost as loud as the music, but you'll still get the idea!

...using the MKII Brass and MKII Violins mixture (with the tape heads positioned between the two) as done in a similar way to the original on Genesis' 'Foxtrot' album, except in this case with the bass provided by the Sequential Pro-One. Yes, I know it's considered a Mellotron players' cliché by some but I still love it!

...consisting of a bunch of clips haphazardly joined together with the sounds of the 350s (fed through a bit of delay and phasing) playing a few old tunes from 70s kids' programmes, the odd TV theme, and ending with the intro to Hawkwind's "Spiral Galaxy 28948". Nice bit of variety there.

Playing general random stuff on my cherished 'tron and Sequential Pro-One - here it starts off with a bit of Yes' "Siberian Khatru" and then descends into general fiddling about....

MKII Flutes and Violins fed through a Boss DD6 digital delay pedal, against a Sequential Pro-One background drone. With added psychedelic video effects in a couple of places (oooooh!)...

This one is the Church Organ tape from the MkII tape library a.k.a. 'MkII Smooth Organ' - couldn't resist doing the pitch swoops from the Moody Blues' "The Best Way To Travel" on this!

Video duration: 45 seconds

A short rendition of the intro to Genesis' "The Fountain of Salmacis" from their Nursery Cryme album. If anything highlights the need for a volume pedal with the 'tron, it's this!

Genesis\ Genesis' "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight"
Posted by: tronfan66

Video duration: 39 seconds

The Mellotron cello line straight after "Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout..". Not sure what Tony Banks did to his 'tron cello sound on the original version (double-tracked?) but I tried to get a similar sound here using a Marshall Regenerator pedal and failed dismally! Still sounds quite good anyway.

Mellotron Bass Accordion and Accordion chords Mellotron Bass Accordion and Accordion chords

Video duration: 56 seconds

This one sounds a tad unhinged - bass accordion remains one of my all-time favourite mellotron sounds.

Mellotron Strawbs Mellotron Strawbs
Posted by: tronfan66

Video duration: 22 seconds

The intro to their track "New World" from the album "Grave New World". The sound here is 'Mixed Brass B' (apparently the same sound they used on the original), and it sounds huge in an almost messy sort of way. A difficult sound to use because it has a habit of taking over everything!
