Subject: RE: [Mellotronists] Mike Pinders Mellotron CD

The Pinder tron disk is Fantastic! I use it all the time. (I also sell my own Mellotron samples from my personal machine at www.vintagekeyboardsounds.com )...
 
The Pinder disk has a complete set of Tron Mark II and Chamberlin sounds.. .all extremely useful. It also includes some great 300 string sounds... I highly recommend it.
 
Regarding the format, it is in Akai format (a Windows machine will not read it). However... I have Awave Studio which does allow my Windows machine to read this disk, and loading the samples into my Motif ES was a breeze after converting the samples to Motif ES format via Awave...

it says on the advert on the mellotron.com site!
 
It's in a proprietary Akai format.
If you're not sure if your own sampler reads that,
read your user manual, or check with your manufacturer...

Does anyone here know what file types are available on this CD? And how compatible is it with most samplers?
Cheers.
