My Mellotron M400 notes typically last between 7-8 seconds, and they're all slightly different in length! I must get round to sampling mine some time - I have the following sounds on two tape racks: 8-Choir Russian choir M400 strings M300 strings Church organ Cello Incidentally, would there be any copyright issues sampling the Mellotron tapes and redistributing? After all they're recordings like anything else. Neil -- Neil Durant <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
