MNTRA Instruments Galactron

Cosmic Digital Dust.

Galactron is a deep dive into the early explorations of digital synthesis. Travel through crystalline 12-bit FM synthesis, gritty Phase Distortion synthesis, and lush digitally controlled analog straight from the 80s. With the help of our powerful sound sculpting engine, MNDALA 2, the sounds of these synthesizers that we have known and loved for a long time, have been expanded into a new kaleidoscopic creation, colourful and daring to be different.

The Story of Galactron

Galactron is an assembly of electronic sounds that reminisce on neo-psychedelic aesthetics, inspired by the explosion of FM synthesis, daring stereo movement, gigantic reverbs and ambience pads. Through our sampling engine, MNDALA 2, the sounds of the synthesizers that we have used and loved for a long time, have grown to become a new kaleidoscopic creation, always colourful and always different.

Galactron complements our ever-growing collection of instruments with a retro-modern approach to keys, pads and otherworldly atmospheres. Sampling our collection of 80s digital (or digitally controlled) synthesizers, these already characterful sounds are brought to the next level within MNDALA 2’s deep sound shaping network of effects and modulation. Through our 3-axes (XYZ) global controls, these sounds come to life in a way that was unthinkable before, morphing and breathing as you play them.

Our approach to creating revolutionary instruments

Continuous play and the pushing of creative boundaries are foundational to our instrument creation process. Rather than trying to recreate true-to-life instruments, we choose to experiment and go off the beaten track, in search of a new kind of virtual instrument.

Inspired by the natural world and ancient knowledge from around the world, we embrace expressive (im)perfections. Performing and recording instruments using experimental methods to create sounds like you’ve never heard before.

From our bespoke extreme-quality recording method using ultrasonics, to our constant experimentation with unique workflows and sound sources, each Instrument we release is a playable manifestation of our exploratory journey.

During our sampling process, the subtleties and imperfections of live human performance are embraced and encouraged. Depending on the final intent, we will creatively post-process as little or as much as needed (sometimes beyond recognition), always making sure that the soul and character of the performance is intact once it’s been implemented as one of our expressive playable instruments.
