'Tron improvements, Musical Instruments, rant

2006-09-28 by Bruce Harvie

" There is no Hendrix or Coltrane of the digital sampler, and it's
really difficult to name a truly great solo played on a digital
machine."

Hi all...
I recently sold my Chamberlin and went digital for a variety of reasons and
have been happy with the results...
I hope to record a *lot* of solos that you wouldn't be able to distinguish
from a real Chamberlin...   ;-)

I bought an Alesis Fusion and the Pinder CD, and haven't missed a step.  In
fact, I have a much more versatile tool with 2-3 times the number of
Chamberlin samples, not to mention all the 'Tron samples.

Oh, and all the samples that came with the Fusion.
It's a great tool for me...

I put together a little demo for folks who wanted to hear what the
Fusion/Chamberlin samples sounded like.  Check it out here, clicking on
"Fusion Chamberlin Demo":

Oh, and does anyone have any info as to when the new Chamberlin/'Tron sample
CD is due from the folks at Mellotron.com?

They said that they "are trying for an early summer release" at their
website, and they might be right.  It's awfully warm here for late
September.  ;-)
