Apatite has introduced a new sound pack for the Serum 2 software synthesizer by Xfer Records. Inspired by one of the most iconic instruments ever made, Magic Mellotron contains 20 presets made from Mellotron samples.
Years after transforming my first Mellotron sounds into Serum presets, I decided it was time to revisit this legendary instrument. This time with a twist. Instead of simply imitating the original tones, I pushed Serum to its full potential, using all the features that make the synth so powerful today. The result? Completely new sonic possibilities that still carry the unmistakable Mellotron charm.
Every preset in this pack is built from at least one audio sample or wavetable derived from authentic Mellotron recordings. This preserves the nostalgic character of the source while blending it with the flexibility and creative range of a cutting-edge wavetable synth. It’s truly the best of both worlds.
The soundset is free to download from the Apatite store.
