Whilst messing about with the dreaded M-Tron, I
started to wonder about the pros and cons of wet or
dry mellotron voices. In its natural state I would say
the mellotron voices are very dry indeed but when used
for recording by most artists they sound pretty wet,
especially string sounds.
Until recently I would have definitely have put myself
in the wet camp. But I am beginning to think that the
problem with the wet sound, to my ears, is that as you
lose attack and add decay, although it starts to sound
more realistic, you lose that choppiness that makes
it sound like a mellotron.
Played dry there is no way you can think you are
listening to anything other than a tron, I
particulalrly like that incisiveness that comes from
playing staccato chords.
Any thoughts?
