Mellotronists

... sitting here with my 100+ mellotron sounds (not having found an 
affordable real tron yet, I bought all M-Tron VST sounds instead, 
and am very happy with them) ... I play along with old classics to 
learn the tunes ... e.g. Crimson's Starless uses the MkII Vintage 
Violins ... big fun! But there are other tunes where I find it 
difficult to identify the original sound, and find the appropriate M-
Tron patch for it ... maybe it hasn't be M-Tron'd yet then. Are 
there M-Tron users who were successful in finding the correct 
sounds? Maybe we could put them all together for future reference. 
One example tune for which I found it difficult to identify the 
strings is Genesis' song Can Utility and the Coastliners.

Here's a start for a list:

King Crimson: Starless (MkIIVintViolins)
King Crimson: In the Wake of Poseidon (MkII_Violins)

'Starless' was actually recorded on an M400! The violins on 'Can-Utility'
are standard Mark II.
