offers a limited
set of mellotron samples, at least since 1999 (first google for
"mellotron copyright").
these guys:
sell a sample CD for
199. They don't mention anywhere on that page that they own the
mellotron sounds or that they're making the disk under special
license.
I wonder what
the legal situation is regarding making soundfonts of these
recorded sounds...anyone know?
Not sure -- they may be copyrighted sounds.
