The Artifake Labs Redtron is a free mellotron plugin that you will definitely enjoy. The fact that it is free makes this VST deserve mention on the list. If you want to produce tracks that sound like a blast from the past, check out this free VST. The flute sounds very 1960s Beatles, and so does the Mellotron.

REDTRON_SE is a Special Edition of the REDTRON_400.

This VST plug-in uses the Taijiguy’s Mellotron samples (taken from a 1973 Mellotron M400S – Serial #500).

The samples have been cleaned (not too much) by removing an annoying 60Hz hum and some unwanted “clicks” and “pops” here and there. /best-free-vst-plugins-mac-os-x.html.

Features :

  • Nine sound types : MKII Flute, MKII 3 Violins, M400 Cello, MKII Brass, M400 Combined Choir, M400 String Section, M400 Woodwinds, M300A Violins, M300B Violin.
  • No loops : like the original Mellotron, each sound is eight seconds long with, in many cases, “the bad endings”.
  • Exclusive “Mellotronic Click Switch” (MCS).

On real Mellotrons, “Click” can be heard at the beginning of a note, when the tape comes in contact with the replay head.

On REDTRON_SE, these “clicks ” are randomly generated when you hit a key : you don’t hear twice the same and they can appear on any note.

Mellotron Plugin

A rotary knob allows you to control the effect intensity (of course, you can also completely disable it ).

Note : this function is inactive when the attack parameter is set to any value different from zero.
