yeah...the Mellotron Archives disc has the Chamberlin male and female voices (heavy
1930's movie vibrato) and I recognized it from the Ethos album.It's showcased on their
song "Sedona". It's cool to create a mixed layer on my Emu E4K of the tron 8 choir,tron
male and female split (sampled by me from my old M400 tapes)), and the Chamberlin
voices. I also made a preset of split Chamberlin male and female and routed them to L/R
panning.
I wonder what the first Kurzweil K250 choir would sound like put onto tron tapes:) That
always had a massive sound...
