As for converting VSTi's, whilst what Paul says
about it being an API is
true, it depends on the VSTi as there are many which are basically just
sample players with a few filter effects added on. There are a few Mellotron
ones which spring to mind. Hell, that's what the GForce M-Tron, M-Tron Pro
and Virtual String Machine (ARP Solina et al) are, with huge great sample
libraries attached.
I've never even seen a real Solina so I didn't know how to compare.
The sounds are nice enough for what it is so for me it's great.
I think if the software above could be set up to run unassisted,
sampling ever note at lots of velocities, etc., then someone would be
on their way to an easy gig file like the SampleTekk stuff without all
the hassle folks went through in the past.
