The Mellotron Group

--- Since individual sounds and tastes vary widely I'll only say that i have a formula I 
somewhat follow. I usually have a sound that I like to use for low end on A (like cello, pipe 
organ or brass). I keep a string sound on B for chords and all around arranging. On C I like 
a  sound that's usefull for soloing ( oboe , trumpet, etc.) or sometimes a choir. I find this 
helpfull in live situations where i won't be changing frames.
