Mattias,
 
Wow, when you put it like that it makes me want to throw all my Yes albums  
away.
 
In all honesty I cannot remember a day in the last eight years when I  
didn't admire and respect you on many levels. We have had some scintillating  
disagreements yet we remain friends. There is one thing above others that a I  
like you for... Your ability to take a punch and to deliver one in kind 
while  maintaining a sense of humor.
 
You want an apology? What, are you wearing a dress?
 
I look forward to seeing you next summer.
 
Frank

Lower Oboe ? Mixed brass ?

Brian Epstein  ?

Mellotron history is filled with man love

Clean shaven long  haired man with a cape ? Falsetto vocals about mountains 
and midgets  ?

Its like like the old percy sledge song. 

...and you have the  nerve to question my Mellotron flute usage on my 
birthday on all days.  

Frank...We have had our ups and downs. But I think an apology is in  order. 

Best regards,

From a Fan.

Mellotron flute is for pansies,  Mattias, which is why it seems prevalent 
in your music. I, for one, am a  proponent of the manly Cello and mixed 
brass. Oboe's OK, but only the lower  half of the keyboard. I like the mixed 
choir, but I stay away from the boys  choir, as I am not Catholic.

Everyone knows that when John  Lennon was playing the Mellotron Flute it 
was a secret homage to Brian  Epstein.

I dont get it with you Frank.  Stop hating the flute,  it is a classic 
sound. The Beatles used it on  Penny Lane and you didnt  complain about that did 
you ?

Why is  it always OBOE OBOE OBOE with you  ?

You are such a  b-hole.

I really hope that the flute  is  on the machine. I like  Mellotron flute. 
And maybe a  choir  sound.

Best  regards,

Mattias

Anyone  know what 100 sounds come on the cartridge?  And  what do they  
mean by  cartridge anyway .. compact  flash?

Just curious,  I've been meaning to  mail  Markus for more details (if 
there are  any .. that whole  website leaves  something to be desired).   I've  
considered getting a Nord for the 'tron  lead samples,  but it would be nice 
to have the mixing and pitch  bending.
