Mellotronists

I gave away my copy of the Propeller Island disk to another list member.  Overall, I didn't like it that much.  Some of the sounds were recorded in octaves, or just poorly recorded.  Also, it was an audio-only CD, which makes it harder to use if you have a sampler that can load Akai banks.  

I don't own but have used the Pinder CD-ROM and I recommend it.  I believe the Pinder disk has way more sounds on it.  However, I have heard that the samples on the Pinder CD were recorded at 22kHz, and you may want to consider whether you like the sound of your sampler's filters at 11kHz.  I definitely hear some not-good artifacts on my S-2800, but they're not enough to deter me.  What I hear, btw, is a strong resonant peak up around the filter cutoff frequency.  The nice thing about 22kHz samples is being able to load an entire bank in a measly 16 megs of memory, which is all I have.

 Does anyone know which CD-ROM of Mellotron samples is the best? I 
have been told that the Propeller Island 'Legendary Mellotron' is the 
best, and way better than the Michael Pinder one on the Mellotron web 
site. Is this correct? Is there a better ne? Any help is appreciated.

Mike
