GForce Software's ChamberTron Is Now Available As A Rack Extension Instrument

GForce Software’s ChamberTron is a plugin inspired by the tape replay keyboard from Harry Chamberlin. Initially only available as an expansion for the MTron Pro plugin for PC and Mac is now also available as independent rack extension for Reason. It features thirty five tape banks with different instruments like: accordion, clarinet, flute, hawaiian guitar, mandolin and more.

ChamberTron RE is not a simple recreation of this instrument but goes further. The clever and easy-to-use interface allows you to layer two different sounds together and create a lot of different sounds.

Inspired by the tape replay keyboard originally invented by Harry Chamberlin in the 1950s, which, via a fascinating twist of fate, gave rise to the Mellotron®. ChamberTron-RE provides a highly evocative set of sounds within an easy to use and carefully crafted Rack Extension.

Product details

Remaining faithful to the 35 note, 8 second limitation of the original Chamberlin M-series keyboards, ChamberTron-RE gives you direct access to 35 coveted tape banks curated by both the original British Mellotron® manufacturer, Streetly Electronics, and the GForce Software Chamberlin instrument collection.

Use ChamberTron-RE either as a straightforward playback device for these rare and iconic sounds, or, via the dual-layer and comprehensive editing features, create your own bespoke, hybrid patches which inject all the character from yesteryear without the expense of owning and maintaining an original Chamberlin tape replay instrument.
