Dear folks who know more about this stuff than me:

I own a mellotron, and I love it. To put it mildly, however, it is not portable. The thought occurred to me to get Mike Pinder's sampling cd of a Mellotron, and use a sampling keyboard. Here are my two questions:

1. If I go that route, what do you suggest for the keyboard? Bear in mind that I'd like to devote a keyboard to JUST Mellotron voices, so I don't need a workstation, etc., and I don't really want to spend any more than is necessary.

2. Can you think of a better way to go about this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Most samplers are modules these days . But , If you don't mind getting an older one , try an EMU EMAX . Or a ROLAND S-50 , ENSONIQ EPS , or EPS 16+ . Most Akai stuff is in module form , but they are great samplers . You can get these cheap , and sometimes they come with MELLOTRON sounds in there libraries .
