No room for elitism IMHO. The M-tron sounds fine. It's like truffle
oil as opposed to real truffles.

Subject: Re: [Mellotronists] Digest Number 1270
I realize this is probably sacrilege to bring up but I've never been
known for my tact or sense of propriety: I am curious about the M-Tron
software. Has anybody tried it? Perhaps in the privacy of their own
homes (and washed their hands afterwards) and aren't embarrassed to
admit it? I love the sound and feel of furniture and heft but don't
have
a roadie, tech, or enough spinal discs to continue to drag it around.
I'm looking at having to alter the character of my songs by using a
(retch) string synth on stage or quit touring to preserve the integrity
of my music and get a real job. Mellotronists don't let Mellotronists
get day jobs. Think of the children...
