More on sampling
2002-07-18 by Paul Marshall
Evening all,
Just completed a **big** sampling session with my
beloved (the Mellotron not the missus :o).
All 35 notes on Flute, 3 Violins and 8-Voice Choir,
7 secs. at 44.1kHz=a lot of memory (and Zip disks). I was inspired to do
this after reflecting on some comments posted here over the months about
Mellotron high frequency content. Comparing my new samples with the Pinder
CD-ROM (and older 22.05kHz samples taken from my M400) it does seem worth
capturing the treble frequencies (much brighter and more vibrant sound). So the
crappy old **lo-fi** proto-sampler is not so lo-fi after all.....
Anyone have any further thoughts/ experience on
this? Do many of us use samples of our own machines vs. Pinder/Roland etc.
commercial samples? I'd be interested to hear.
BTW also captured the comforting pitch warble of
#1380's ageing CMC10....
Best regards
Paul Marshall - M400 #1380 (most recently solo'ed
'Never Let Go' - remembering Pete Bardens...)
