Mellotronists

The Memotron's samples are also looped. I have always believed that the
sample should be as close to the original as possible, and if the user wants
to loop them, then they can do it from their own sampler. But they should
have a choice.

The only looped samples I sell are for the Hammond B3, Vox Continental, and
Gibson G101 organs. As they were all oscillator or tone wheel sources,
looping is not such a big deal. B3's do have an "attack" when they key is
initially pressed down as the key hits the contacts (a.k.a. Key Click),
which is a good quality of the organ.  I simulate this within the Motif with
an attack parameter.

Mellotrons, however, replicate the actual bow attack (or other instruments)
that cannot be simulated with a high degree of accuracy. So I question
looping these sounds in the first place.

The Pinder CD is not looped, and is completely authentic. I highly recommend
it.

  The Hollow Sun samples are looped. Personally, I wouldn't want looped
  samples. The beginning of the sound would have to be chopped off to
  eliminate the instrument's attack for smooth looping.

  Some of M-Trons's samples are pretty good. They also have samples that
  are unavailable in any other collection. Some are redundant; same
  sound, different name, different sources.

  Sonic Implants claims to have gotten their samples from Tron models
  M200, M300 and MkII. Anybody know what an M200 is?
