Mellotronists

I agree 100% with Mark.  Having used the "Pinder" rom to create *sampletron*
for "Under Oriental Skies" & "The Boy Who Gazed At Stars" [on the Systems
Theory "Demos 1999-2000" CD] I must conclude that a 22khz was the right
choice, given the audio fidelity of the original sounds.  3 violins, mixed
brass and 8 voice choir were my sample choices IIRC.  By the time the 22khz
samples are effected [ie. with lush reverb as I did on "UOS"] a 44khz sample
would have bought nothing extra.  Of course, we are replacing the
*sampletron* with the real thing [by Mr. Dickson] for the real album... YMMV
:-)
