What is their copy protection?

Finally purchased M-Tron Pro with the Streetly Tapes Vol,1. Didn't get much time after installing last night but was not blown away until I woke up this morning and went through the Streetly Vol. 1 expansion. HOLY SHIT!!This is so good. Cannot believe how great this is. Have not been this excited over music in a long time. I'm always so late to the party.

It's always on my radar, but priced a bit over my budget.

It was on my radar for a couple of years also because I had the Mike Pinder Akai CDR version already as well as various other samples. I thought I overspent last night when I briefly went through some stock presents and was finding my way around. Then I hit the Streetly expansion this morning and I realized how ridiculously inexpensive this is. It's so worth the $228 I spent for M-Tron Pro + Streetly Tapes Vol. 1. I will pick up the other 2 Streetly expansions shortly.

I guess I never revisited this topic. I did end up buying M-Tron Pro with all the expansion packs a while back. This is a phenomenal collection of sounds, and clearly a labor of love. I really can't recommend them highly enough!

I have yet to buy any expansions, but I've been dying to add on. M-Tron and later M-Tron Pro had been on my radar for years before finally purchasing and I was glad I did as well. It really is a great collection.

At times I wish it had simply been a Kontakt instrument because it would allow for more customization but I still love it all the same.

Streetly Vol 1 is a must have.

How would M-Tron compare to Re-Tron for Reason, soundwise?

Yep Streetly...

Although I'm now getting by with Hollow Sun NewTron Bomb III and the Leisureland Mellotron samples as compiled for Kontakt by fabel2112. Because I wanted to go all/mostly Kontakt for samples based stuff (with the exception of Alchemy).

I have the Hollow Sun NewTron. I am curious about the Streetly tapes. Are they very different?

How is the M-Tron Pro GUI interface on newer screen with high resolution, is it small, or OK?

M-Tron Pro is always a plug I have wanted, maybe there is sale coming...

Based on info at GForce M-Tron comes with a lot more content:
M-Tron: Nearly 200 total tape banks
Re-Tron: 25 tape banks

it's ok, not good compared to Imposcar 2 but then there isn't that much on the GUI anyway.

I pretty much have all the banks - before Pro I had Mtron, one of my very first VSTs and still a firm favourite.

By sheer amount of tapes available, it's the best out there.

I only wish it allowed extending the top and bottom keyboard range by stretching the samples. Sure it wouldn't work for all sounds, but perhaps using some timestretching it could be a very useful sound design tool.

ChamomileShark · Post by **ChamomileShark** » Wed Nov 11, 2015 8:29 pm

yes I must admit that drives me crazy at times - I'd probably use that more than I do the other "cheat" of looped samples.

Is GForce M-Tron Pro still the best "Tron" vst?
