I can't believe it's not real Mellotron!

2004-08-09 by Brady Arnold

I've been toying around with the idea (for a while now) to make 
my own three violins patch, and I finally got around to doing my 
first "rough draft" version of it...  For those of you who want to 
skip right to the audio clip then click this link:

Remember: the sounds in this audio clip are not being played on a 
tron, and it's definitely not Mellotron samples.  I am also just 
toying around, and not trying to do anything amazing in this audio 
clip. 
   I got the idea one day to listen through a bunch of solo violin 
pieces and wait for individual notes to be held out long enough to 
extract them, tag them, and send them to there own folder.  I had to 
do this until I had three different takes of the same note, and then 
I would mix each three, EQ them accordingly, and then render them 
into single wav files in a seperate folder. As I was mixing and 
rendering I would go ahead and import what I had into my virtual 
sampler to test how the notes sounded when blended together and 
whatnot. Even halfway through this little project I was starting to 
get chills!  My next step is to use real violins, brass sections, 
flutes, choirs, and whatever else I can think of....  Cheers!  -
