Mellotronists

Hi,

I use M-Tron on a regular basis and, contrary to all the negative feedback 
it's getting for its allegedly badly chosen tapes for recording 8 choir and 
so on (I believe these tapes actually belong(ed?) to Thom Yorke and his 
co-'heads, i.e. the tapes featured on OK Computer), I think it's a great 
sounding instrument. I installed the stand-alone executable, and it works 
perfectly. Just remember to rename the .dll file to MTron.dll, otherwise the 
stand-alone application won't be able to locate the instrument.

Regards,

Dagfinn
