The Mellotron Group

Hi Frank.  I'm actually a guitar player, but learning keys.  My Hammond
is a T400 series, Moog is a Little Phatty(great basses),  MIDI pedals
are Roland PK5.  I don't have a Mellotron, but instead use Roland SRX-07
vintage keys module in a Juno G.  Can't honestly say how the samples
compare to a live Tron because never had a chance to hear one up close
and personal.  I suspect, however, not to close because the Hammond
samples on the Roland don't sound like the T400.  They're not bad, just
don't sound the same.
 
This is a Tron group so I have to share how I became hooked.  One of the
1st albums I ever purchased was "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".  The liner
notes listed all the equipment used for each song.  For "Grey Seal",
right after piano was, listed Mellotron.  That did it for me.

	Hi All, I'm new to your group and have been enjoying the recent 
	threads. While off from work for the holidays, I was browsing
the 
	Moog site and was pleased to see the announcement of the re-
	introduction of Taurus Bass pedals. Moog will limit production
to 
	1,000 units and will ship late 2009. For me, the 5 most
important 
	instruments for Prog, in this order, are Mellotron, Bass Pedals,

	Hammond organ, 12-string, and mini-Moog. Happy Holidays.
