Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: The Mellotron Group

I know most of you are fortunate enough to OWN one of these great
instruments but since I don't at the moment own one myself I would
like to get the next best thing in the form of a sample library.

The thought of using a sample library instead of the real thing
might sound Blasphemous to any Mellotron owner/purist but not all of
us are lucky enough to own a piece of musical history and since I
truly love the unique characteristic sound of a Mellotron and would
like to be able to employ it in some of my sequenced compositions, a
sample library is the only way I will be able to get even close for
now.

Anyway, I would really like an opinion from anyone in the group on
Emu's Mellotron (Vintage X Pro Vol 2) sample library if anyone is
familiar with it. Or, if there is a suggestion for a better sample
library than Emu's for use with Emulator X which can read most
sample formats.

So please, I am asking the group of folks most likely to be able to
render a truly expert opinion. What would you suggest? (Be gentle)

Sincerely,
Rawl
