Sopranotron 2 vs King Key

Why a standalone app featuring just Soprano voices and violins? The most popular categories of mellotron voices are strings and choirs. So with that in mind we have turned our brand-new Mellotronics virtual tape replay engine into an instrument of pure voice plus pure violin. Caitlin Downie’s gorgeous soprano vocal samples, 11 individual sample sets and 4 mixes, are bundled with our popular "Clare Lindley Violin Collection" of 7 individual articulations and 3 mixes. 25 gorgeous samples to add quality and class to any mix. And the quality really is glorious - it’s like somebody took all your favourite mellotron voices and waved a magic wand to eliminate the tape hiss. Not as instantly 'vintage' and nostalgic as our Streetlytron family, these samples are nonetheless very special, and give musicians and producers an extra, vibrant palette of vocal and chamber string colours to deploy. These sounds are equally capable of standing proud and upfront in a mix, or sitting back to form a haunting, romantic string or vocal bed. Orirginally recorded and engineered by Glenn Tommey in Bath in 2013, these samples have been cleaned up and reworked for this new incarnation, and these are the highest quality versions of these libraries ever released.

In grand celebration of International Joke Day 2024, we at Caelum used our incredibly intelligent minds to bring you our first sampler; King Key. Gone are the days when you were left begging for high quality one-shot keyboard samples, now you can get King Key. Anywhere in the world you can now play the sounds of a keyboard, on your keyboard. We also blessed you with the sounds of a MIDI keyboard, a typewriter and 4 produced kits as our generosity knows no limits. Click, Clack, Svvvvt, B-ding, cha-cuh, fshhhh. With 9 instruments and 11 presets at your finger tips you can finally be the person your parents wanted you to be, a King Key one. Using proprietary high-detailed sampling techniques, which are sadly too complex for you to understand without demonstrative play-dough, we have captured the essence and spirit of a vintage Imperial typewriter, a Modal Cobalt8X and a Generic USB keyboard. We then took these beautiful, inspirational samples and produced them into some juicy, expressive kits for your pleasure. King Key is designed as an AUv3 plugin, meaning it works within iOS and iPadOS hosts such as Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cubasis 3, AUM and Beatmaker 3. King Key also works as a standalone instrument.
