An accompaniment concept!
If there is one thing you can say about this plugin, it’s that it is inspiring, in a weirdly nostalgic sense. While the lead sounds are unique and could certainly be regarded as being eerie in certain settings, the accompaniment and rhythm sections are a blend of musical, classy, cheesy and hilarious, and all in equal measure.
They form part of the time capsule element of this plugin and the M-Tron is all the better for it. There have been many pieces of music that adopt the samples as a backbone; Caro Emerald’s album Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor places many of these samples front and centre of not just the production, but the composition too.
It has also managed to infiltrate the wider world; you’ll hear one of the rhythm samples used as the backbone to the theme song for the BBC series Great British Sewing Bee. With that level of inspiration, those date-stamped rhythm section outings could be just the thing to pique your inspiration, driving you to your next hit.
There are plenty of musical styles to call upon in the section, and who knows where your production inspiration and compositional prowess may end up taking you next.
