Want it styled for a voiceover, caption, or social post too?In this video, we’re checking out a beautiful pairing — the Mellotron Micro and Chroma Console from Hologram Electronics. These two gear pieces bring vintage charm and gritty texture together for lush, lo-fi soundscapes.

The Mellotron Micro is limited, but beautifully so. The Chroma Console opens up endless variations — warm to wild, subtle to glitchy. Together, they’re a perfect match for producers chasing vintage tones with modern flexibility.

🎹 Mellotron Micro: Vintage Sampler Vibes
• Based on the classic tape-based Mellotron — think Beatles, prog-rock and early psychedelia.
• Comes loaded with high-fidelity digital samples of original tape sounds.
• Sounds are limited but inspiring — great for lo-fi pads, strings, flutes, vibraphones, and more.
• Each patch mixes two classic Mellotron sounds — easy to dial in vintage flavour.
🎛 Simple controls = fast inspiration.

🌀 Enter the Chroma Console: Sound Degradation Master
• Designed to manipulate and dirty up clean tones.
• Adds grit, pitch warble, reverb, distortion, and tape-like character.
• Modules like Movement, Texture, and Diffusion offer unpredictable, analogue-style modulation.
Perfect for turning smooth Mellotron sounds into warm, broken, dusty textures.

🎧 Sound Demos Highlights
1. Vibraphone + Strings: Classic combo — smooth on the Mellotron, gets crunchy with Chroma’s drive and pitch plate.
2. Flute + Hammond C3: Lo-fi hip-hop pad gold. Chroma brings saturation and life.
3. Tubular Bells + 8-Voice Choir: Cinematic layers, evolving with Chroma’s interference and cassette algorithms.
