Lee Flier Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 Hey all - A friend of mine has an EMU ESI4000 sampler and wants a Mellotron sound out of it. I KNOW there's a really excellent Mellotron package out there but I can't recall who makes it or what it's called. Anybody know? --Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m2 Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 Hi Lee Flier! I'm guessing you're talking about the Mike Pinder Mellotron CD. I tried to find the right link, but I could only find this one: http://www.miroc.co.jp/Tango/qrys/CDMisc/Mellotron/Mellotron_Akai.html Macle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_3guy Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 I can't be the only who thought this but when I first saw the CD I thought - Oh great, a sample of a sampler. Steve www.seagullphotodesign.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Flier Posted July 13, 2001 Author Share Posted July 13, 2001 LOL... yeah I thought the same thing. No, I don't think it's a sample CD, it's a series of patches for some synth maybe? I don't remember, I just remember a friend of mine had it at his studio. I'll try to contact him but if you guys have any other ideas that would be great, and I'll let my other friend know about the Mike Pinder CD too, thanks. --Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steadyb Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 MIKE PINDER "Mellotron Archives" CD-ROM is correct. I have it. Mellotron and Chamberlian samples. It's excellent, and they even included the "Bungalo Bill" classical guitar intro off of the Chamberlain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Flier Posted July 13, 2001 Author Share Posted July 13, 2001 So how would that work with an ESI-4000? My friend and I are both useless guitar players who know nothing about this stuff, he just has the sampler sitting in a rack! Would this CD work with it and if so, HOW? Also, where do you get it and how much is it? Thanks,Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpel Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 Lee, there's also the free and well known "Hovercraft Mellotron" samples, which are available in gigasampler format at Worrasplace.com, but might also ne available as soundfonts and wavs elsewhere. I think they're pretty good, especially the flute sound, which is used on Waves and Particles, my compilation CD contribution.

As far as where I got it, it was actually a birthday present a few years ago, but I don't know where it was originally gotten from. steadyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
