Hi,
now that's not such a bad thing with tron samples. I don't think there's
much above 10 kHz anyway, and I found out that those samples I have can
be made a bit more authentic by applying a LP filter. Strange, but maybe
it's because the sampled mellotron was in better shape than those being
played in the 70s...

P.S.: Can someone tell me where I can get that Mike Pinder CD,
preferably in Europe or even in Germany?
