About the Memotron
The Memotron is an advanced sample playback based musical instrument to reproduce a famous,
specific and genuine sound in highest audio quality. Thanks to its digital technology, it is most reliable
and easy to use. Features are:
• Access to up to three sounds simultaneously
• Fully polyphony
• Internal effect processor
• Complete MIDI-implementation
• Data storage on CD-Rom and Compact-Flash-Card
• Compatible with G-Media M-Tron® sound library
The special characteristics of the original have been carefully emulated. This includes a maximum
duration of a played note of about 8 seconds (about 16 seconds at HALF SPEED).
The Memotron supports standard data structures of CD-Roms and memory cards. This compatibility
enables you to create and organise your own Memotron sound library in your PC. The data structure
of the Memotron with its directories, folders and files fits to your PC and is easy to understand.
The Memotron is compatible with the G-Media M-Tron® plug-In and therefore capable to use its sound
library without limitations. You may use CD-ROMs delivered with the G-Media M-Tron® plug-In
directly in your Memotron. The Memotron is not compatible to the newer M-Tron Pro® plug-In.
