Lovers of the Mellotron, the samples are available on the web in various formats. Since the Wavestate's RAM was opened up on firmware V2, it has enough memory to easily load the main Mellotron multisamples. It's fairly simple to make a vector patch with strings, violin, choir etc and use the joystick while playing to bring the sounds in and out. Wavestate makes a really good budget Mellotron for live use. You should get one Macca, at 80 you need music advice from we peasants

In reply to gingerly. Interesting additions, but isn't the Cavern bass the 500/1? What's the Fender Squier bass, do you mean the Bass VI which I've heard was used on Taxman (and others like While My Guitar Gently Weeps)?

I think the truth needs to be reiterated about EMI. They were misers and would never give full equipment to anyone recording, including The Beatles. So to say they had everything would be false. They complained a lot.
