Unfortunately not, I think. And now the "real thing" isn't available anymore.

I agree, but that flac is all we have, and we have no more access to the mellotron. But Paolo's work on looping is good (IMHO) for a 4Mb soundfont, especially the flute ( http://www.viandanze.com/materiale/melloflute.sf2 ) Best Regards, -- Emiliano Grilli Linux user #209089 http://www.emillo.net
