What? HUH???
True stuff, all. I think much has to do with the fact that in a real 'Tron, each individual note even has its own timbre, response & personality, subtle though it may be. (Should be, anyway!) But some of the sample-takers have even sought to "clean up" the sound & make it all smooth & shiny. Nice, but not Mellotron!
I think Fripp's idea of going out with Memotrons is excellent! Given his disdain for the analogs, it undeniably makes things easier & safer for setup & reliability. At least he's using the proper SOUNDS, & not just using orch samples or synths as so many have fallen into. Mellotron, analog or digital, still has its own unique sound! Still got mine.
Cheers!
