The Mellotron Group

I mostly just use reverb from my 'tron and the volume knob to create swells. I do use one of these, an Alesis Ineko, also and they are amazing, super easy to use/read, and can turn your mono mellotron into stereo. It's probably the most user friendly unit out there for "tweaking" a mellotron live.

My mistake, Jason, it seemed like it.  It sounded slowed down a bit.
One impression I did perceive from the music (and I may be wrong again) was that the sound of the 'tron was intended to be just that: a mellotron.  Not a specific orchestral instrument or imitation.  I like that.  It creates an eerie atmosphere.

1/2 speed? I've never tried to do that. The only thing it's going through is am Alesis rack reverb.
