pendantic pindertron question
2003-04-05 by David Davis
Here y'all, I have a very pedantic question for you, to sort the men from the boyz ... Here at FelineHQ, we're presently trying to delude ourselves into the notion that we have a Real Mellotron by transferring the contents of Mike Pinder's Mellotron Sample CD into the cavernous recesses of our Akai MPC4000's hard drive... ~~~ANYWAY~~~ Sound bank "21" on the Pindertron CD (folder folder "E/FOXTROT+SAX_") is called "Fox Trot: Sax Phrases" on the sleevenotes, and claims to be one of the Mellotron MkII Rhythms & Fills. ~~~HOWEVER~~~ If I look at the list of MkI and MkII fills on David Kean's page at http://www.mellotron.com/mkiirsfs.htm I don't quite see a MkII fill fitting the description of 'Foxtrot + Sax phrases' ... There's: MkII fills - "Quickstep/Saxophone" and MkI fills - "Foxtrot/Saxophone" So, my utterly pedantic question is ... ... is the sound bank on the Mike Pinder CD actually (i)a Mk.I "foxtrot/saxophone"? or (ii) is it the Mk.II "Quickstep/saxophone" with the wrong name? or (iii) are they both the same anyways? I'll get my coat... DAVID ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.felinedream.co.uk __________________________________________________ Yahoo!
