REAKTOR COMMUNITY

DESCRIPTION

- As the Mellotron plug-ins we were familiar with were not really satisfying, we decided to develop our own Mellotron simulation with the help of Reaktor.
- We have attached great importance to taking into account the tape-related shortcomings of the instrument, such as wow and flutter, distortion and other tape-related effects.
- With Tape Magic - MkII Edition we are primarily concerned with the instrument voices. That is why we have limited the Rhythm & Fill section of the left manual to stations 5 and 6 (This allowed us to not exceed the upload limit of the Reaktor user library).
- This gave room for the instrument voices on the left manual which also offer alternative voice combinations. In any case, it was not uncommon for a studio or band to replace the Rhythm&Fill section of the MkII with the Instrument section of the right manual.
- Organ No: 3 (Original located on Right Manual - Station 5, Track C) was omitted to include the “M300 Strings-A” that were popular with several bands.
- On many recordings of the MkII the built-in spring reverb - only available on the lead manual - wasn’t used. Instead an external studio reverb was used.

- Tape Magic MkII is the first in a series of tape-based instruments that will be continued at a later date.

- New in Version 1.23: the algorithm for handling the presets was changed so that global reset events could no longer occur. The presets have been revised and expanded.
