When GForce launched the M-Tron, they had little idea as to the passion that many
musicians harboured towards the orginal instrument on which it was based,
and as a result were slightly surprised when the requests came flooding
in for more sounds. Of course, being decades old and prone to more than the
odd bit of wear and tear, Tron sounds aren't exactly the easiest things to
stumble across, and as such they had to be fastidious in the quest, contacting
many users of the original instruments in the hope that they could be pointed
in the direction of some rare, forgotten gems. What they hadn't reckoned with
was the Teutonic Tronmeister himself, Klaus Hoffmann-Hock.
Owners of M-Tron Tape Banks Vol 2 will already be aware of Klaus, a
self-confessed Tron maniac, who has probably forgotten more about the
original instrument and its sounds than anyone at GMEDIA Music will ever
know. In short, over the years Klaus has amassed one of the largest
tape-frame collections in the world and after the success of M-Tron Tape
Banks Vol 2, and persistent calls for yet more sounds, it was suggested that
we release yet more rarities from his collection for your delectation.The
result is, somewhat obviously, M-Tron Tape Banks Vol 3, containing a
plethora of scarce and interesting sounds from the Tronmeister himself.
In addition to some tape combinations we've also included several sound
effects tapes, a recreation of Mike Pinder's legendary Halfspeed Mightytron
sound, plus new choirs and other instruments which were recorded at our
local church. The idea behind these new sounds was to add some unique
timbres to complement
the existing Tron choir sounds and bring a vague 21st century flavour to
this instrument, we hope you appreciate the results!
