hi putte!
...yep - if you've got m-tron then you've got to get these new banks! They're about in the same range of usability as the first set (anyone written anything using those 'rhythm patterns' yet?!) - but there are definitely some that are cool: clarinet, cello, a couple of the voice banks, and strangely the vocoder swell especially if you set the attack to half and full decay.

I missed a registered mail delivery today when at work. Have to pick it up from the local mail office.
I guess that's my long overdue M-Tron disc. For some reason I feel suddenly feverish and faint. I feel a sickie coming on! | |

I know some hip hop guys who've used the rhythms on a couple of tracks and the bloke who programmed the Soul to Soul stuff told me that he'd used the sad strings on a Latin track.
Anyway, the killer sounds for me on the new cd are the harp glissandos, the roxy music strings and the vocoder swell. Bluey | |

Still waiting for mine.
There's that one song on Yes: The Ladder that sounds exactly like one of those rhythm tapes, although it's probably not M-tron (don't know that it was out yet). Probably from a different source. Can't wait to hear those harp glisssssssses - and those choirs! | |

I think King Crimson used one of those "Sad String" sounds at the very beginning of the first song on their "Thrak" CD, "VROOOM"...but of course that was *well* before the M-Tron even came out, so it must've been off a real Mellotron.... --Har | |

hey, wait!
Wasn´t it King Crimson using Waldorfs Attack in their psychedelic-mystic song "Someday there will be something called VST", back in 1972??? | |

Heh...yep, Robert Fripp and the boys certainly do tend to be ahead of their time with such things... |
