Some more interesting quotes from a progressiveworld.net interview
with Martin (Orford):
"I used to have a Mellotron, but as soon as the tapes deteriorated
it never really sounded any good. The SampleTank Mellotrons sound
like the brand new original must have sounded, and they are really
spot-on."
Same damn thing happened to my Gibson Les Paul. As soon as the
strings went bad, it sounded like crap. I wonder if SampleTank has
some good guitar samples?
