![]() The Mellotron is one of my all-time favourite instruments and gives me tingles up and down my spine when I hear it played and placed well within almost any style of music. It has so many beautiful sounds which I can only imagine must have been stolen from another dimension and sneaked back to our world by angels, then placed into this box for all to admire – completely unique and capable of bringing tears to my eyes and wonder to my heart. I don't record my music on a computer yet, though I'm hoping to later this year to increase the sound quality and manipulation options, but I know there are virtual versions of the Mellotron like the M-Audio GForce M-Tron. I've only just discovered that it now works on Macs, whereas for a long time it was just for PCs. The only danger for me is that I'll be sorely tempted to swamp my currently humanistic, hands on, approach with the sounds of nonetheless beautiful digital samples (as opposed to the very much warmer sounding tapes of the actual Mellotron). Hmmm, we'll see what happens! ![]() I haven't read it yet, but there's a book about Mellotrons that looks good – has anyone read it yet? It's called Mellotron: The Machine and the Musicians that Revolutionised Rock. Here's a link to the one I mean: http://tinyurl.com/ybcf3f5 Thoughts anyone?
