Evening all,
Just completed a ∗∗big∗∗ sampling session with my beloved (the Mellotron not the missus :o).
All 35 notes on Flute, 3 Violins and 8-Voice Choir, 7 secs. at 44.1kHz=a lot of memory (and Zip disks). I was inspired to do this after reflecting on some comments posted here over the months about Mellotron high frequency content. Comparing my new samples with the Pinder CD-ROM (and older 22.05kHz samples taken from my M400) it does seem worth capturing the treble frequencies (much brighter and more vibrant sound). So the crappy old ∗∗lo-fi∗∗ proto-sampler is not so lo-fi after all.....
Anyone have any further thoughts/ experience on this? Do many of us use samples of our own machines vs. Pinder/Roland etc. commercial samples? I'd be interested to hear.
BTW also captured the comforting pitch warble of #1380's ageing CMC10....
Best regards
Paul Marshall - M400 #1380 (most recently solo'ed 'Never Let Go' - remembering Pete Bardens...)
