Mellotron/sample/wave type question.

[Paul Maddox]

Dear all,

  I have for many years admired the sound of the mellotron choir, as no 
doubt have mosy of you, does anyone have the means of supplying me with 
a good high quality sample (44.2Khz+) of this sound, it needs to be say 
about 5 seconds long.... let me explain why..

   What I would like ot do is extract single cycles of waveform from the 
sample (say ooo, 64 bytes per sample) and space these xtracts every say 
50-60 cycles, (can you see whats comming yet?).

   So I would end with say 128 64byte samples, which I may be able to 
fit onto an eprom and use as a complete wave table... now I know this is 
boring and you may say why not use a sampler, but I dont like doing 
things the easy way, you know?
   All you software people it may be fun to write a program that spaces 
128 waves (or more) over the length of the sample and extracts these 
numbers into a table ready to be put on an eprom.

   In theory (he we go, flame throwers at the ready) this would lead to 
an almost perfect playback at whatever note you played.. as the time for 
the sound would be controlled by a CV from say an EG and NOT by the 
speed of playback of the sample..

    Next question,

      Am I nuts?
