Re: New Member (Interested in Mellotron Samples for S1000 or S2000) Advice Neede

2007-05-24 by mlcsixand78s

Hi,

I see now there are 2 versions, M400 & MK V Mello Zone disks.
I found listed on ebay the MK V for 30euro and
the M400 for 30 Brit Pounds...
Once I get my sampler I'll be on my Mellotroning
way... I know I will end up getting both the M400 and MKV
samples. This will be first step Akai into hardware
sampling. I look forward to it.

Thanks for the advice!

Allan
