Re: Mellotron Emulator / Samples / Sound modules

2003-06-11 by Bernie Kornowicz

I also like the M-Tron VST plugin.  I've A-B'ed it with my 2 M400's 
and it's certainly good enough to fool most ears (although none on 
this message board :>).

I've also tried Sampletank and a few others, but they don't sound as 
good to me. Haven't played with the Pinder CD, but the recordings 
I've heard with it sounded good.
