Does NewTron Bomb have more Mellotron stuff (samples, editing capabilities, etc.) than what is included in Nostalgia?

The core samples in NewTron and Nostalgia are the same but the Kontakt version of NewTron has a GUI designed specifically for it...



Frankly, if you have Nostalgia (and it still works!), there's little benefit to buying NewTron unless you like/prefer its scripted GUI.

NewTron does have an extra soundset (16 Violins) however. Whether that's worth it to you is another matter.

Thanks for the information. BTW, I'm loving Nostalgia!

I am considering the NewTron Bomb to further complete my Hollow Sun collection.
However, since there are quite a number of Mellotron Patches in the Kontakt factory library (in the 'Vintage' section) I was wondering what kind of sounds NewTron Bomb brings to the party that are not included in the Kontakt factory library.

Newtron has...

- Violins

- Choir (4 male/4 female)

- Flutes

- Mixed strings (cello and three violins)

- Boys choir

- Brass

- 'Watcher' (mix of strings and brass as per Genesis Gothic intro to 'Watcher of the skies')

- 16 violins

Draw your own conclusions!

I like the tracks you posted at Facebook, BTW

Cheers,

Hi Steve, thank you for the compliments and the patch-listing of the NewTron Bomb library

I just picked up the new version, Newtron Bomb III. I love it and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a playable, musical, inspirational Mellotron sample library. It's not a big library, but it's got the good stuff. Blueberry Fields Forever! LOL I also picked up Optomotron. I think it's based on a 1970 instrument made by Mattel. I listed to the patches. Very cool toy. Two thumbs up for these vintage, taped based, hand-crafted sample libraries. Great Job Hollow Sun. Oh, and the price is silly cheap for super high quality. Nice! Very Nice.
