What sets mellotron sounds apart is the apparent lack of all things modern that all other samplers have. I recorded three sets of new strings sounds before I figured out that POV, imperfections and personality had to be played note by note. The fourth time I hit it pretty good, not great, just good. No velocity switching, loops or stereo samples, just raw audio. Making new tron recordings is harder than it seems.
If I do new sounds in the future it will either be to tape and edited digitally, or using some of my fave ribbon mics. Oh yes, nothing but great players with sublime tone and an attitude will do.
