The Mellotron Group

Well, the Mellotron strings on 'Shutter On The Scene' on 'Domus' 
(http://www.mikedickson.org.uk/domus/Shutter%20On%20The%20Scene.mp3) are 
all 24 bit digital samples that I made myself using uncompressed WAV 
files without noise reduction or editing of any kind. The reason for 
using them as opposed to  the real thing was because I knew I would have 
to play around with the key that the piece was in, hence the MIDI 
recording.
