Mellotron samples in recent workstations?

[Bosendorphen]

Nothing helpful for me to add but tron threads are rare here. Just wanted to say a friend recently bought a M4000D and I have had a blast playing it.

 

The iconic strings, flute, and choir raise the hairs on your body, and the rhythm loops are gigglicious. The thing sounds GREAT.

I have one and concur

My wife bought me a Mellotron Micro some weeks ago and I love it! Lightest Mellotron ever! I've already used the mandolin sounds for a project and rehearsed with my band using it.

Speaking of VST, I got the UVI Mello for free as part of a deal (by getting the String Machines for $99). I've enjoyed that although there aren't that many sounds. But it does give you the option to stereo-ize the sounds, add effects and full keyboard compass. Nice.

GForce is basically the be-all-and-end-all these days, but it's not cheap, and you have to pay for packs, but they've done a fantastic job seeking out old modules and sampling them to the Nth degree of precision. It used to be a bit buggy, but I haven't had a problem for a while.

 

I was playing in an old prog band that basically forced me to get GForce, but I was not disappointed, it's an AMAZING VI. Fantastic for live performance.

Nothing wrong with the old Roland stuff, still used in my rig now in my Roland Fantom XR.

Mellowsound is a recent iOS app that comes free with three sounds. The extra sounds are available all together as an in-app purchase.
