The Mellotron Group

I guess what Markus was telling me is that Clavia was getting all the  
sounds. I never bothered to consider it further. This was many months before it

real  Mellotron. I would think that Mark II sounds sampled from a Mark IV 
would be  somewhat different then if sampled from a Mark II.

The Mellotron Archives cdrom was produced from fresh tapes played  through
actual melotrons and an M1 Chamberlin I'm pretty sure. I would  guess they
would do the same thing with this new instrument.
