In what may be a futile attempt, I will attempt to introduce some discussion into this group.
Do you think there is any merit in recording and selling new sounds for the Mellotron? - Pro this, I'd say that it expands the palette of sounds available for the instrument, keeps it 'alive' and generates revenue for those who want to sell it as a product.
- Contra this, you could argue that it transforms the Mellotron into just another sampler and that there are probably better digital products out there for the job, plus the fact that usually the Mellotron is sold to sound like a Melotron and not like just any other instrument.
Discuss?
