yeah...the Mellotron Archives disc has the Chamberlinmale and female voices (heavy

song "Sedona". It's cool to create a mixed layer on my Emu E4K of thetron 8 choir,tron
male and female split (sampled by me from my old M400 tapes)), andthe Chamberlin
voices. I also made a preset of split Chamberlin male and female androuted them to L/R
panning.
  I wonder what the first Kurzweil K250 choir would sound likeput onto tron tapes:) That
always had a massive sound...

Hi Charles and Gang,

There were some impressive strings and choir voices on New Age/Spacemusic
artist Constance Demby's CD  "Novus Magnificat,Thru the Stargate"
of the mid-late 1980's.  That album  I believe was entirelyrecorded
using the Emu-2 sampler .   Sounded pretty doggone goodfor its time.

Ms. Demby also played hammered dulcimer (Persian Santour)
and misc. custom instruments on her other CDs.
