I'm looking for a great set of Mellotron samples, anybody got recommendations? I'm wanting that Strawberry Fields flute sound, fo' sho'.

google it,,
i think there may even be a sampler rack set up for it some place,,
My best recommendation thought would be to go out and get Gmedias M-Tron.
it's one of my favorite pluggs, right now you can get it and all the tape banks for 99 bucks.

Sweet, thank you. Yeah, I just found the rack to download here in the tips&tricks section, it's downloading now. I'll check out the M-Tron.

There's a freeware pc vst called Nanotron that does the mellotron flutes pretty good. It also offers the choirs and the strings.

M-Tron is the only thing you should look at. Really.

I use Mac. Thanks, though. M-Tron it is.

M-tron for sure. but if you got reason, i highly recommend checking out the abbey road refill as it has the m400 samples in it which provides some pretty juicy flutes, cello's and strings.

Hmmm, decisions, decisions. Pretty healthy price difference, though. $130 extra for the Reason refills. I'm going to have to A --> B the demos.

You could always dl Hovercraft's samples into Simpler for a kwik fix...but when you hear the MTron it's gonna hit the spot.

I can't believe it's not butter.

Etc.
