I must tell you-I am intrigued. I've heard about that Rime Of The Ancient Sampler disk from someone many moons ago from someone that raved about it.
However, not having a real 'Tron, in my case is a bit of a problem....
I have a few rare items from my analog collection-(Good to Fair-Currently looking for replacements now.), that I would be willing to trade for the same thing.
(Minus needing to lug a 'Puter mainframe, monitor, and tape deck around of course.)
>I have several commercial CD's (including the Pinder) and a couple of "home made" discs. Each has it's own peculiar charm.
I would guess that is the 'nature of the beast' when it comes to the sampling CD's.
There's everything from the AKAI standard to the Roland, 'Sound Font'-(the one that I'm looking at.), ect, and the few (3) firms out there that have them.
Plus the tambre/tone that the 'Tron-or Chamberlin for that matter has. I guess the final equation in all of this is what sounds the most pleasing to your ears.
Naturally, I have a weakness for the Moody Blues/'Pinder sound, because that's the first one that I can recall... ;)
