Blasphemous Request for an opinion

2007-12-04 by Rawl

I know most of you are fortunate enough to OWN one of these great 
instruments but since I don't at the moment own one myself I would 
like to get the next best thing in the form of a sample library.

The thought of using a sample library instead of the real thing 
might sound Blasphemous to any Mellotron owner/purist but not all of 
us are lucky enough to own a piece of musical history and since I 
truly love the unique characteristic sound of a Mellotron and would 
like to be able to employ it in some of my sequenced compositions, a 
sample library is the only way I will be able to get even close for 
now.

Anyway, I would really like an opinion from anyone in the group on 
Emu's Mellotron (Vintage X Pro Vol 2) sample library if anyone is 
familiar with it.  Or, if there is a suggestion for a better sample 
library than Emu's for use with Emulator X which can read most 
sample formats.

So please, I am asking the group of folks most likely to be able to 
render a truly expert opinion.  What would you suggest?  (Be gentle)

Sincerely,
Rawl
