Hey! how 'bout that new capstan rubber formulation? Amazing what happens when you add that extra nitrogen atom to the equation.....

       I thought this was a MELLOTRON page! I couldn't care less about any of the imitation systems. Resourceful people can still buy the real thing, just ask Martin. The rest is rubbish, in my opinion.

 Oi, I have played the "real thing" on a couple of occasion, though not
 for, er, over ten years.
 
 The complete m-tron thing cost me 89 uk pounds, it could have been
 worse. It's difficult to get a good feel for the quality of products
 like this sometimes, b/c one does read conflicting opinions of it,
 plus the whole "nothing's as good as the real thing" tendency can
 muddy the waters somewhat.
 
 I guess I'd better save up for the pinder CD, unless something better
 comes up in the interim.
 
 Emu "ultra" series samplers are ridiculously good vfm at the moment, I agree.
