M-Tron Problems

M-Tron Problems

2005-11-19 by Steve Ball

Greetings All;

I'm having a little trouble with a couple of sounds from the M-Tron plugin
and was wondering if anyone had seen this issue and/or could offer some
assistance.  Everything seems to be running/sounding good with the exception
of the violins 1 and violins 2 sounds from the original M-Tron installation
CD (I have also installed the Tape Banks Vol. 1 set).

While I can access the violins 1 sound (which sounds great, such as it is),
I'm  only getting a very limited range of notes; i.e. 12 notes (G-3 to F#4).
All of the other sounds on both the original CD and the Tape Banks Vol. 1
have the "normal" range of about 35 notes.

When I select violins 2, I get no sound whatsoever, although I noticed that
if I set the attack to its fastest setting, I can hear a brief fraction of a
note that truncates very
quickly on the low G only; nothing else.

I've contacted Gmedia for tech support (I'm a registered user), but can't
seem to get a response from them (what's up with that?).  Can anybody offer
any guideance?  Of course the violins 1 and violins 2 sounds are THE sounds
that I bought M-Tron for; ironic.  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Steve,
Cincinnati

Steve,

Mine works fine; sort of. I get full range on Violins 1, but the low 
D and D# are both D. I believe Violins 2 is the same as Violins 1, 
based on the flawed low G, but D# is D#. You could try deleting 
the .CPT files from the MTron folder and reinstalling them.

Also, are you running MTron4.6?

Bernie

Sounds like you might need to replace the pinch rollers.
     Thanks,
