the mellotron archives/pinder disc is the best i have ever heard.
[ymmv - there are some out there that are really awful.
it's an AKAI format CDROM. [see: http://www.mellotron.com/cdlist.htm ]
using the program "cdxtract" [see: http://www.cdxtract.com/ ] you can
translate the samples into other formats for use with other
samplers/software. it has a great variety.


btw: is this a typo on the mellotron.com site?:

[i have never seen a copyright claim like this before. prior restraint?
