The Mellotron Group

Mike,

Your hard work is paying off for all of us...great music at a 
bargain price!!

On the web pages for In Excelsis and Six Consequences, you list the 
Mellotron sounds that you used in each recording. It's nice to hear 
some of the new sounds in the context of a musical piece. Will you 
eventually update the other pages to list the Mellotron sounds as 
well?

I couldn't help but notice that you have used some softsynths like 
Magnus Choir, Angelina, Atmosphere and Trilogy. I'm a big fan of 
Magnus Choir and Atmosphere. Any interest in Omnisphere?

Bernie
