The Mellotron Group

Welcome aboard! Good group of guys here, and a wealth of knowledge. Bernie  
is right, to survive here you'll need a thick skin and a thin skull... If 
you  need help or have questions, ask away.

I guess I joined the old group that a member here was kind enough to point  
out to me so I'll post here instead. Thanks!

Just joined and this is my  first post. Ever since I was a kid I wanted a 
Mellotron and twenty five years  later it finally came true. I have a m400 
with two sets of tapes in my attic  recording studio. Works ok but I have to 
futz with it a lot, but I knew when I  bought it that there was going to be a 
learnig curve. I just love it. One set  of tapes is the standard flute, 
cello, and strings. The other set is kinda  weird. It has six sounds each 
divided at the center key, plus some sound  effects at the end of one of the 
sounds. How common was that? The crappy part  about that is that the sound 
effects are on the choir half, leaving me only an  octave of choir, I wish it had 
been the flutes! The choir is my favorite  sound, so I just ordered a new 
set of tapes with full choirs from Markus  Resch. I look forward to reading 
and hopefully getting a few question  answered.

Thanks!
