Mellotronists

Nice work, Fritz.  I'm glad that you are contributing to the Streely library
so that we can all play these sounds on our 'Trons.

OK, a pattern has emerged.  I see there's now "Sad Strings" and "Angry 
Strings".  How about "Pissed Strings".  Although, that may have a different meaning, 
depending on which side of the Atlantic you are on.

I'd *really* like to hear Frtiz's "Plucked Piano" in reverse.  I suppose you 
could string the tapes backwards, but you'd need to line up the attacks 
properly, so that, when played back, the intital stike is in the first couple of 
seconds,  Or, mabe it would be more interesting if the attacks weren't lined up, 
but were more random.  Has anyone tried stringing tapes backwards on their 
'Tron (intentionally)?

While I was on Mike's web site, I played the "Cat" sound, just to hear what 
was there.  My cat came running out from behind my Hammond and started 
hollering at my computer.  Apparently, the "Cat" sound has some special meaning to 
cats.  Maybe we should rename it "Pissed Cat".  Give this a try, if you have a 
cat, it will freak them out.
