Re: Mark 2 & Choirs

yeah...the Mellotron Archives disc has the Chamberlin male and female voices (heavy 
1930's movie vibrato) and I recognized it from the Ethos album.It's showcased on their 
song "Sedona". It's cool to create a mixed layer on my Emu E4K of the tron 8 choir,tron 
male and female split (sampled by me from my old M400 tapes)), and the Chamberlin 
voices. I also made a preset of split Chamberlin male and female and routed them to L/R 
panning.
  I wonder what the first Kurzweil K250 choir would sound like put onto tron tapes:) That 
always had a massive sound...
