Thank you for the kind words. I remember people on this list that claimed
they could anytime hear the difference between real mellotron and 'tron
samples. So I decided to do my best to challenge that. I've done really odd
things like recording the sounds through two ancient Vox amps with reverb to
get closer to that elusive MKII sound. I also processed some with a MiniMoog.
But I am an honest man (I beleive), so I can't claim to play mellotron where
no mellotron is present. "Mellotron sounds" is the closest I can get to the
truth. Yet I don't think you can actually hear the difference.
But NEXT time I will exploit M400 #160 to maximum.
Cheers
Frank
