I'm a big fan of Chamberlin cellos myself...wonder what they would 
sound like put onto a tron frame? I use the Pinder CD Rom/E4K and 
have created many nice splits and layers w/ tron and Chamberlin 
sounds...it's interesting to layer or split both the tron and 
Chamberlin cellos slightly panned l/r. I also made a massive multi-
layer of all the strings: MK2 violins,M300strings,viola,tron & 
Chamberlin cellos.....awesome sound.
