Synthesist Jonathan Block shared this ambient improvisation featuring the classic sound of the Mellotron.
Here’s what Block shared about the technical details:
“Here’s an ambient Mellotron improv in AUM using the following apps from Igor Vasiliev: Stellarvox, VintageRack and Classic FX. Igor provided me with these apps since I’ve used his SpaceFields app extensively. The main sound is the classic Mk2 3 Violins but I also use sounds from the M400 such as cello, choirs, flute, oboe and saxophones.
This improv is based around Stellarvox, a hybrid reverb app that’s gives you extensive control over reverb tails, including space, tone and time. ClassicFX provides some modulation and delay while Vintage Rack is at the end of the chain for compression and to widen the stereo field with a Dimension D effect.”
Arturia has released AstroLab firmware 1.5, an update that they say “brings deeper creative control and smoother integration to your performance rig.”
The update features 7 new instruments. Support has now been added for MiniBrute V, Augmented YANGTZE, Augmented MALLETS, Synthx V, SEM V3, Jup-8000 V and Pure LoFi.
Other features include quicker preset loads, seamless playlist transfer with Analog Lab, on-the-fly program-changes for external gear, and direct FX & MIDI editing straight from Analog Lab.
