Mellotronists

Bruce,

This is the reason why I started sampling and offering samples to my
colleagues on my website. I would hate to have to turn on my Mellotron
everytime I wanted that sound. And performing live, that's a whole other
story.

I now have a Yamaha Motif ES7 loaded with the Pinder tron samples and  my
own Mellotron, Farfisa, Vox, Gibson, and Hammond B3 samples. I have an
amazing variety of classic keyboards (that reside safely in my studio) all
at my fingertips on one board!

Reviewing your comments below I suggest you go with the Motif, Fantom, or
Triton keyboards. Make sure you get as much sample memory as possible (The
Motif ES can have as much as 1GB!).

  Can someone recommend a specific model of sampler (Akai CD3000i, Emu
e6400,
  etc.), or maybe a sampler/keyboard (Motif ES, Fantom, Triton, etc.) that
  would match up well with the Pinder sample CD?  Something that might be
easy
  to program for a few specific tasks and is intuitive to run?

  I don't need all the bells, whistles, and synths that seem to go along
with
  the modern keybaord/samplers, just a sampler and keyboard controller for
  doing the Pinder, Optigan, and maybe Clavioline sample CDs..

  I've been leaning towards a Nord keyboard as a controller, which has some
  great Clavinet sounds which would be useful, or so I've heard.  But which
  sampler?

  In short, I'm *the* guy ("you gotta be crazy to buy one of those!") that
the
  Memotron folks are trolling for, and I'm even considering one.
  But I think I can set up a system that might be more useful for me...

  Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice....
  I'm all ears...
  Bruce
