Mellotronists

> I have some of the most incredibly realistic "Mellotron"
patches that I've written for my little Korg X5D's (you have to hear my
arrangements for "Nights in White Satin,"  "Strawberry Fields Forever,"
"Epitaph," and "Court of the Crimson King" to believe it!) and that
instrument has NO facility for importing samples. I am using strictly the
built-in waveforms, and emulating as many of the idiosyncrasies of the
Mellotron as is possible, particularly the ones mentioned above.

You don't say! I'm another fan of the X5, and of course I have made
mellotron patches too. In fact
the X5 accounts for pretty much of the MIDI'ed sound that comes out of my
rig.
Would you like to exchange patches? I have programmed a lot of patches for
my 05R/W module.
Recently I have introduced samples though to get that final haunting thing
in the sound.
