The St Peters Choir is new for the Streetly Library.  As the web site says "these were donated to us by Dave and Chris at GForce Software". 

As I understand it, GForce recorded this sound for the MTron and later gave it to Streetly who recorded it from tape to give back to GForce...um...for the MTron Pro. How GForce sampled it for the original MTron is unknown to me.  I imagine they supplied the sound on a digital file which Streetly put onto tape and sampled, so in essence it's first generation.

Tapeception.

Very interesting, the St Peters choir is also marked down as new on the site. I think the St Peters choir was on the original M-tron. The info on the site states that the tapes came from Gforce software.  So did they make those tapes themselves or were they on the Mark II they sampled?
