7. TAPES AND SAMPLES MANAGEMENT
The tapes and sample management page is located in the lower part of the GUI when in
Open Lid mode.
This is the most important page for those that want to edit presets or create their own, and
also to edit the samples, even the ones from the original tapes (in case you want to create
loop points, for example).
For those that already used the CMI V or the Synclavier V, many controls will already be
familiar.
7.1. Tracks Page
This page resembles the mapping pages in soft samplers. We have a line for each track
(remember that we have three tape tracks), divided in 96 small "cells", each one representing
one chromatic semitone.
Each track can hold up to eight sounds (original tapes or your own samples). You can even
mix factory tapes with your own samples. The possible configurations go like this:
• Max. 2 factory samples (tapes);
• Max. 8 user samples;
• Max. 2 factory s 6 user samples combined.
This Tape Tracks page has a much wider range than the original Mellotron. However, the
original "tapes" that ship with the Mellotron V will span just the 35 note range that the original
instrument was capable of.
The default preset will show three "tapes" loaded in the original Mellotron range (from the G
two octaves below middle C octave up to F one octave above middle C octave), like this:
The original pitch of these tapes cannot be changed, to prevent them to sound out of tune,
but they can be placed in a region lower or higher than the original. However, that region
will always have to start in a G, and end in a F, this way respecting the original tuning, and
the original global range, and they will play the exact same sounds.
This means that, if we place a tape one octave higher, any key we play on the keyboard will
produce a sound one octave lower, while if we place a tape one octave lower, any key we
play on the keyboard will play a sound one octave higher.
