Thank you for your positive feedback.

It was really a hard work to implement this Mellotron Sounds. But the 
mellotrons are the best of
the EMU vintage package. BTW A real tipp, because you'll get the EMU X2 for 
free if you buy
the EMU Midi USB Box for about 40$. Price for EMU X2 was 500$.

I decided to make some other vintage Emulations using the EMU vintage 
package and yotube.
- Minimoog (perhaps Jupiter 8 too)
- Some String machines
- old CX3 organ ( already done in my an1x_v1 file. Old Cx3 was template.)

I found a trick to emulate Vintage Organ Disortion. Using a dual sound and 
only overdrive for the high drawbars. Overdrive for a whole sound is to 
heavy. Has anybody another solution ?

EMU contains the Solina String. I owned this but its not my favorite String 
machine. I like the ARP Omni Strings most
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARP_Omni
and a look at the circuits will show, they in this machine used a more 
complex and expensive BCD modulation. An unknown german group (Anyones 
daughter) used Minimoog T100 and Arp Omni creating a very special, ok very 
german :-) sound, Krautrock. I like this Omi Sound :

Has anybody a source for wav Samples for the Arp Omni ?Another Problem is 
the EMU Minimoog. Using a spectral Analyzer its easy to emulate the 
fundamental SAW wave :

Feedback : 60-65
Sawtooth : Edge=110
Must be reduced for high notes : Keytrack  VCOx Edge -40
And some frequencies emphased :
180 Hz : +3dB
2 kHz : +2dB
5 kHz : +6 dB

(With spectral analyzer you will also see, that alasing effect depend on the 
Edge value)
(Moog square  will need other parameters)

It sounds identical to the EMU moog SAW, but i have some doubts this being 
the right way. A useful help would be a website showing some famous Minimoog 
settings.

Best regards
richy
