The Mellotron Group

I'm also considering which tape sets to order for #872. I wonder if anyone
has heard or owns the six track tape set?

 

Regards,

partune

Without a doubt you *need* the eight voice choir. (Russian choir is also 
a good alternative and sounds a little more 'in tune', thanks to the 
voicings)

You don't need string section because you can interpolate B and C on 
frame #1 to give you that, but you *need* the Mk II Brass for a good 
'bottom end' sound.

For the third sound I'd go with one of the newer line; maybe Fritz's 
Chamber Woodwinds. That would give you three fairly contrasting voices 
for frame #2.

Have a listen to the samples at www.mikedickson.org.uk/tron to see if 
there is anything else that grabs you.
