I've kept a collection of samples from the original tapes on my drive
for years and love them! Using the mellotron strings with EWI in a
regular live band today (throwing then into the EXS24 or Kontakt4).
Hearing those sounds for the first time back in the days (for example
by Moody Blues, Bowie, Tangerine Dream...) made a huge impact on my
musical imagination. Took a long time to figure out what made that
sound; actually I didn't understand until a friend in another band
that owned a mellotron showed me the hissy tape recorders that never
stayed in tune. Funny that it is the technical imperfections that
brings the soul to the instrument (he, he... like Frisell's guitar
talk - if you saw that post some hours ago)
