    those samples to be EXACT...how do the mellotrons
    compare to advanced digital samps ? Gilmore, you there

    They are exact samples, since they're nothing more than a endless loop of tape,
    a recording of the actual instrument.

    The drawback is like any tape.. they wear, they hiss, they fail. Digital sampling is far, far better. (And don't confuse sampling with synthesizing, they're two different animals.)

    "sampling vs synthesizing"
    Thanks Gary, I need to read more about all of this. Fortuneately, the net does offer resources for learning about these.
