Free Serum 2 Mellotron Presets

 

 

 

Apatite has shared Magic Mellotron – a free collection of Serum 2 presets, inspired by one of the most iconic instruments ever made.

Here’s what they have to say about the collection:

“Years after transforming my first Mellotron sounds into Serum presets, I decided it was time to revisit this legendary instrument. This time with a twist.

Instead of simply imitating the original tones, I pushed Serum to its full potential, using all the features that make the synth so powerful today. The result?

Completely new sonic possibilities that still carry the unmistakable Mellotron charm.

Every preset in this pack is built from at least one audio sample or wavetable derived from authentic Mellotron recordings. This preserves the nostalgic character of the source while blending it with the flexibility and creative range of a cutting-edge wavetable synth.

It’s truly the best of both worlds.”

The collection contains 20 new Serum 2 presets.

Magic Mellotron is available now as a free download.

Free Behringer JT-4000M Patch Editor


Reader Gary (gary909.github.io) let us know that he’s shared JT4000M Programmer, a free web-based patch editor for the Behringer JT-4000 Micro Synthesizer.

“Hopefully, it should make creating new sounds on the thing a little bit more fun than going through the menus!” he notes. “It’s been tested running on Chrome and Android, hopefully it should work on most other platforms.”

If you create a sound you want to save, just press down on the ‘Select’ pot, and the sound will overwrite the currently selected sound.
