Mellotron samples

2011-04-25 by william Beith


Can anyone comment on the Canadian Mellotron company, the Mike Pinder sample CD, and its use in a Kurzweil K2000? I have a band due in the studio next month who want some Mellotron sounds and I can not afford a Mellotron at this time.
As an after thought....I recently had the back of my C3 off to perform some service. And yes I used the RCA input for my Wurlie. Great sound. After a day or so I realized I could smell the Hamond oil, there was a general smell associated with the mechanics.......something missing in synths and plug-ins. For me that's why I have the Hammond, and the balance of the real instruments I play (Wurlie, Rhodes, modular). The physical contact and the sensory interaction is all part of the player interacting with the instrument.
Thanks
Bill
