you mean only one real tron?
apparently ;0)

seriously - you do make a valid point, though the
pinder CDROM is far superior to mtron. it COULD
have been really good, but not enough care was
taken to choose a good machine, a clean tape set,
etc...

but still, it is the only option for some people,
or at least the only practical option [pinder CDROM
again being a superior choice - buy one, listen and
compare - you'll get the point - it was done REALLY
well and has a very good variety, including awesome
samples of the "classic" sounds and some rarities].

flame away folks...
