Introduction
Mello
The Origins of Sampling; a Sound that Shaped the 60’s
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.
Now lets get started!
