Re: [newmellotrongroup] Re: New Digital Mellotron

It sounds pretty good to my partially deaf ears, but it is not a Mellotron. 
 It is a digital sample playback machine that plays high quality samples of 
taped  samples of real instruments.
 
Wasn't it Pinder who once said something like..." I don't want to play  
other people's music, I want to play other people's instruments..."
 
So in this case, what you are saying is that you want to play samples of  
someone playing samples of other people's instruments. Is that right?
