Mellotronists

I recently purchased a Yamaha Motif ES7 and decided to sample in the
sounds from my SM400 Mellotron. Well, what a surprise when I listened to
the sounds on the headphones. Its amazing what you hear at the end of
these tapes! Right after the note dies out I can hear someone breathing
in as ready to speak. On the Cellos at the high A note, you actually
hear someone start to say "B" after the breath! Amazing....

You can also hear bows scraping and other strange artifacts. I heard
someone drop something in the middle of a sound... Very funny...

Has anyone else heard this?
