watching that video made me incredibly sad. so to make myself feel
better, i told myself a joke.

i asked myself, 'what do rick wakeman and that mellotron software have
in common?'
both are utterly and completely and out the game.

i pray with all the faith i can muster that doesn't happen to me when
i'm his age.

death to the bastards trying to replace the spirit of analog music
with the coldness of the digital domain!

Repitition is a form of change.

And digital isn't cold. It is just the same thing over and over ...

Maybe Digital will get closer to analog in time, but it ll never be exactly the same. -Dr. Robert Moog

Don't be flakey. Get Yahoo! Mail for Mobile and
always stay connected to friends.

For $120 the sounds are ok, there are lots of them, unfortunately you
can't mix them ( or at least I can't). For some of us they are all we
are ever likely to have. Add some reverb to the strings and they sound
pretty good. I am the only person on the list that doesn't own a real
tron?

you mean only one real tron?
apparently ;0)

seriously - you do make a valid point, though the
pinder CDROM is far superior to mtron. it COULD
have been really good, but not enough care was
taken to choose a good machine, a clean tape set,
etc...

but still, it is the only option for some people,
or at least the only practical option [pinder CDROM
again being a superior choice - buy one, listen and
compare - you'll get the point - it was done REALLY
well and has a very good variety, including awesome
samples of the "classic" sounds and some rarities].

flame away folks...
jeff

No Mark, you're not.  I have M-tron, but am working on the real thing.  
If we set aside the purist argument for a moment, I'd say that M-tron's 
biggest weakness is the quality of its samples.  Some are fairly decent, 
but many are wretched - so noisy or so poorly sampled as to be 
unusable.  However, at $120, if it puts a smile on your face for even a 
few months - and you're not planning on getting the real thing anyway - 
I'd say you spent your money well.  You might seriously look at 
investing in the Pinder CD Rom and an old hardware sampler off of ebay 
for maybe three  to four times the cost (>$500?), for a much higher 
quality playback experience.  Least that's what I've heard.
best,
john barrick

Machine development and building is still going on.  No they are not
$120.  Mtrons and the like are to a Mellotron as a Teisco is to a Les
Paul. Jeff knows well what I mean.  Go to work with this stuff and you
find out soon enough. If the physics doesn't match up, it's a
different thing, all judgement aside, they are not similar enough to
really compare

There used to be a place in Oak Park called Val's Halla Records - I 
moved away about 11 years ago - don't know if it's still there.
