The Mellotron Group

There is absolutely no processing on my samples. They are direct recordings
from my Mellotron and sound fantastic. I use them when I perform with Prog
Rock cover bands (Moodie Blues, Crimson, etc).

Should the samples be converted to digital and not processed at all,
or should they just be processed carefully?

All of the current digital mellotron sample libraries were produced
with 16 bit editors (or lower). Over-processing can hose-up 16 bit
samples quickly.

It would be good to hear mellotron samples recorded with 24 bit gear
and done with minimal processing.
