More Sample Questions

2006-02-02 by bayofkings7

Greetings to all!

OK, I am going to gingerly tread into the dreaded "Mellotron Samples" 
arena some more.  The Tron is one of my favorite instruments, but I 
will probably never own a real one (I guess, never say never ...).

I write/record my original music at home.  I utilize both hardware and 
software.  For Tron, I have:

- "Classic Keys" expansion ROM for my beloved Kurzweil PC2R (I think 
the samples are very good);

- Emu VK-6 with "Vintage" ROM (sounds OK);

- IK Multimedia "MelloZone" Sample Tank (just recently purchased brand-
new for about $15.00 US, haven't used it much);

- 2 or 3 free Tron software downloads (none of which I particularly 
like).

Folks here seem to like the Pinder CDs.  I have seen that Hollow Sun 
and Sonic Implants have Tron CDs.  No one here (that I have noticed) 
has mentioned GForce's M-Tron - it is good?  It certainly seems to 
offer a big bang for the buck!!!

Anyway, I'm just wondering what real Tron owners who have had 
experience with any of the several "copycats" have to say.

Thanks much!
