So what did you expect, after all it was these "cumbersome machines
and errant 1960's technology" that gave these sounds their
signature,and all it takes is some bonehead engineer to think they are
going to reinvent something by "cleaning up" the ideosyncrasies that
is the very signature of a Mellotron. Seems they have learned nothing
from the Hammond clones. Sure I can get my Juno 6 to a close proximity
of a Hammond or a poly6 to sound LIKE tron strings, but it goes back
to apple and orange comparisons, like Days of Future Passed.
I had a chance to hear these at a local music store and agree there
are severe shortcomings to a majority of the sounds, but guess what,
unless you have something to compare it to, one would not note the
difference.
If anyone out there is looking for authentic Tron sounds then get a
unit and be done instead of wasting time on worthless replicas.
