Outstanding
What an incredible library! As said elsewhere, if you have a paid/updated version then please let us know. This sort of quality is what I come here for!! Thanks again.
Very Good Emulation
Not bad at all - there are a few free Mellotron samplers out there and only a few have not been edited to death to make it sound 'better'. This appears to be one of the better sample sets.
Not sure about the ADSR or velocity controls - that's part of the charm of the original machine, I suppose. I suppose you don't have to use them if you don't want to.
Excellent stuff.
Oh - one thing. To say that the recordings are as good as they could have been made is a bit misleading. By the time a tape actually got to a Mellotron it was at least five generations old. That's another part of its creaky charm: it's not the sound of three violins any more, it's the sound of a Mellotron.
Edit: it's not 'String Session': it's 'String Section', a Frankenstein edit together of the original three violins from 1952, the viola and from 1964 and the cello from 1962. Loved by Tangerine Dream, it's a bit of a tuning nightmare in some places. Fun fact: the 'springy' sound of the bottom five notes comes from the fact that the cellist refused to detune his instrument to reach below C1, so these were played on a double bass.
