Discover Retro-Modern Aesthetics
MNTRA Galactron is a highly-playable and customisable instrument focused on the retro electro sounds of gritty '80s synthesis. Comprised of multiple '80s digitally-controlled synthesizers, Galactron encompasses everything from crystalline 12-bit FM synth, gritty phase distortion synthesis and lush analog pads. Through the MNDALA 2 sampling engine, the sounds of these synthesizers have been brought to the next level with deep sound-shaping networks of effects and modulation.
The MNDALA 2 Engine: Unlock limitless possibilities
The MNDALA 2 engine from MNTRA Instruments is a groundbreaking multi-dimensional audio engine designed for the future. This bespoke playback engine features an abundance of sound-shaping tools and controls to enable you to create the Caprakan of your dreams with no additional software required. MNDALA 2 runs on any DAW that can host VST3 and AU plugins.
Years of research and development in reproducing high-definition audio have gone into building MNDALA 2 to recreate ultrasonic samples in an unprecedented performance-ready format. Each of the 40 carefully selected instruments has been deeply sampled, plus, MNDALA 2 has a fidelity of up to 24-bit and 48kHz, making it possible to manipulate, pitch and tune your sounds without compromising quality.
MNDALA 2 features six fully-featured samplers enabling you to load individual instruments with independent processing and with onboard effects slots, you can shape your sound with 35 different effects, such as reverb, delay, saturation, modulation, filters, and EQs. Additionally, each instrument has been recorded in a multi-microphone setup, and you can adjust the spatial positioning per sampler for customized mixes.
The global modulators, custom modular effects routing, and complex sequencing per sampler offer a near-infinite amount of customization and automation for your sound over time. The three Axis-animated performance controls condensed into one compact interface allow you to take control of up to 62 parameters simultaneously when mapped to your favourite controller - all with effortless hands-on control.
A new kind of instrument
Striving to create unique instruments which stand out from the crowd, MNTRA don't simply create cut-and-paste sample libraries but instead lets you transform what you think is possible with traditional musical instruments. Rather than creating true-to-life replicas of existing sounds, MNTRA Instruments ventures off the beaten path, letting you experiment with sound design inspired by the natural world. Embracing the imperfections of musical instruments, you can record performances full of dynamism and ever-evolving sounds which move with every turn of a knob or lift of a fader.
