M300 strings A and B

M300 strings A and B

2012-06-25 by ClayE

There's a bit of confusion between the Streetly tape library and the Markus Resch library.

http://www.mikedickson.org.uk/tron/  shows:
M300 strings "A" (two violins in unison)
M300 strings "B" (solo violin played very gently)

http://www.mellotron.com/soundframe.htm  shows:
M300 Strings "A" (cello,viola,violin 3 way split)
M300 Strings "B" (ala Barkley James Harvest) ?

The tapes that I have for M300 strings sound like two violins in unison.  I've been calling them strings B but I will start calling them strings A.  (You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Johnny or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me RayJay, or you can call me RJ… but ya doesn't hafta call me Johnson!)

That explains it. 

I've just had another idea about that sound, I'm getting closer.

Clay me owd mucker,
 
The very early version of the M300A strings had Cello, then viola then  2 
violins in unison.  This was quickly abandoned in favour of 2  violins in 
unison all the way.  BJH never used M300Bs as we have both of  Woolly's M300s 
here they have the M300As loaded.  Enough of all this now or  someone will be 
de-bollocked at dawn.

Just to further confuse everyone........ 
On Markus’ Mellotron M4000D (the digital one), there’s four sounds:

M300 Strings A (high) – split of 2 violas/2 violins
M300 Strings A (low) – split of cello/2 violas
M300 Strings B (high)  - split of viola/violin (solo)
M300 Strings B (low). – split of cello/viola
