TheGForce MkIIcelebrates the extremely rare and highly coveted original dual manual ‘trons, the Mellotron® MkI/MkII and Chamberlin® Musicmaster.
Whilst M-Tron Pro IV continues to focus on the chromatic sounds of the Mellotron M400 and is probably the first ‘tron you’ll want, itsGForceMkIIsibling is a unique and exclusive library with specialist tools for tackling the rhythms, accompaniments, and unique playing styles found inearlier Mellotrons MkI/MkII and Chamberlins.
Originally conceived as the ultimateHome Entertainment Console, the UK-made1963 Mellotron MkI/MkIIwas a dual-manual tape-based instrument. The left manual’s 35 notes replayed a combination of 18 Rhythms and Accompaniments (66 on the GForce M-Tron MkII*), and the right manual (also 35 notes) replayed 18 lead sounds (66 on M-Tron MkII*).
GForce MkIIwas designed for composers and producers who want access to the evocative tones of the original dual manual Chamberlin®, Mellotron® MkI, and MkII instruments. Special emphasis was placed on the Rhythms and Accompaniments, which capture a moment in time between the 1950s and late 1960s.

Koala Audio were very helpful. The Viking chair fitted together easily, and the many adjustable functions work well. Very well designed, lightweight and will suit my needs as a multi instrument player including Pedal Steel and recording work.
Nice Mic spoiled by needing a physical ilok to use Modelling Software
Nice Mic spoiled by needing a physical ilok to use Modelling Software. Seems absurd. I don't mind using ILok cloud but no, only a physical dongle will work. Very 2004. Not a deal breaker. The mic is fine for the price.
