The Mellotron Group

Hi all!  I've been absent from here for quite a while (not that I added much in the first place) but will hopefully get back into things a little.

Still no real Tron here (nor much chance of one, sadly) but I'm pottering on with the various sample libraries and pretending they're really an M5000 (no, not a typo) with dual swell pedals and a Pindertron preamp.  (Yes, I discovered and became transfixed by the Mellotron and Chamberlin via the Moody Blues.)

For those with long memories, I once did a recreation of Mike Pinder's "Out and In" using M-Tron, and emulated bits of Tuesday Afternoon and Isn't Life Strange for curiosity's sake, which I think I posted here at one point.  ...  Not ringing any bells, I can tell.  ;)

Anyway ... good to be back.

Yes Pinder and the MB did some good stuff a long time ago.
I personally went through a nostalgia phase in the early 80's when I bought all my favorites on CD.  I cannot listen to any MB material now.  It gives me the willies.
