This free wavetable expansion for the GSi Gemini features 10 samplesets derived
from loyalty free samples of Mellotron tapes, courtesy of Bernie Kornowicz. The
original samples can be found HERE.
The original description says:
«These samples were taken from a 1973 M400S Mellotron, serial #500. The 3 Violins and Combined
Brass were sampled in 2003. The String Section, Combined Choir, GC3 Brass, M300A, M300B and
Woodwind 2 were sampled in 2008. The MkII Flute and Cello were sampled in 2010. The first 5 notes of
the Cello were produced by a double bass, hence, the difference in sound from the rest of the notes. The
tapes and frames were brand new when sampled. The 3 Violins sound is the MkII Violins, not the M400
violins, which are really the MkII violins with the top end rolled off. The samples were recorded "hot" with
the tone control fully clockwise. Each set of samples is about 20 megabytes. Each sample is
approximately 7 seconds in length and has not been looped, so the "spider technique" commonly used
for playing Mellotrons is an important skill to develop. If you want to loop them, that's up to you, but I
strongly advise against it for the sake of authenticity.»
And, for the sake of authenticity, all the samples have been just converted to the
Gemini without applying any looping nor any further processing.
