But until Martin and John go the 192 HD or such table and give it to us
to us the way it they and their informed circle know how ir should be (

Gentlemen, go get real Mellotrons and program your other instruments
until you realize that somebody is still fighting WW2 with Wavetables,

that got us to play Rhodes samples on everthing but a Rhodes and most
of you are still embarassed.
Real is real and all is vanity.
I know I should be using my very respected caucasian Psuedonym, my
friends are choosing me a new one currently.
