The Mellotron Group

No, I think that the difference between the old sounds and the new ones is  
the fact that the old sounds are old and the new sounds are new. Also, the 
old  sounds began as tape masters and the new ones most likely did not. 
Regardless,  when one purchases digital samples of Mellotron sounds, to be 
accurate they have  to have been recorded while being played on an actual 
Mellotron. Thus, some  samples are better than others because some machines are 
more properly set up  than others.

Some of those early production qualities still come through in  the vintage 
sounds, as their source is tape.  Is this the sound we are  seeking?  Is 
this the difference between the old and new sounds that is  currently vexing 
us in this thread?
 
  Great discussion!
