Subject: Re: [Mellotronists] I can't believe it's not real Mellotron!

Wow! This does sound great! I suspect that the performers
of these samples are probably a little more reknown than
those that performed the orginal, 3 violins?

[...uh oh, is this going to stir the pot?...]

I am curious how dry each of the original solo samples are?

This process could be used to create some, otherwise
impossible samples....

You could have entire combinations of great violinists!
Choose from, Heifitz, Gidon Kramer, Solerno-Solenberg, Joshua
Bell, Michael Rabin, Yehudi Menuhin, etc....

One could do the same with opera stars (...gives a whole new
spin to the term, "3 Tenors"...)

Guitar players - sure, you can attend the G3 thing that
Satriani and Vai put together, but what if we could put Danny
Gatin, Jimi Hendrix, and Ritchie Blackmore on the same
sample?

ok, I'll stop here, before I start creating a sample with the
Canadian Brass and the Tower of Power horn section....
