Re: [newmellotrongroup] New Video with Mellotron Mk. VI

No. I did not. 

I based the tune on an Indonesian scale but I did not base it on Indonesian tuning. In other words the scale steps where translated into standard western tones/frequencies. 

It's cheating but there was a lot of cheating going on, really. Plus, while the Rhodes isn't hard to tune, tuning is very time consuming. I simply don't have the energy to re-tune everything to whatever non-western scale I might want to use. I'll take the lazy man's way out every time. :)

    I shared with a friend of mine who is into synths, and he asked if you had to detune your electric piano.Bill Rudloff

    Hey Mellotronists - 

Hope all is well with you. FYI, I just posted a new video that includes some Mk. VI parts. 

Nothing special, just the 3 violins and Mk. II Brass (half speed) sounds. But if you want to give it a look, here's the link:
