This one is made by John Check and contains all three sounds.
As for looping,
in the meanwhile a friendly guy from the italian
newsgroup it.comp.musica has done a looped version of the reed:
www.viandanze.com/materiale/mello.sf2 (~3.7 Mb)
Is this last sf2 based on the flac version? How complete the original flac version is?
There are the 3 mellotron sounds, sampled by a friend of mine who has a
music store and has sampled it before selling it.
Have the Mellotron tapes recorded from start to end?
Unfortunately not, I think. And now the "real thing" isn't available
anymore. The samples are too short, and aren't complete (I don't know
how long were the original mellotron samples)
Have the end been faded-out after digitization? Is the
end of audio
the original end on the tapes or has somebody clipped the digitization?
I don't think the notes were sampled for more than some second.
I'm only curious. Main thing is that the
digitization has the start and
as much as possible the sustained sound.
I would suggest to use the original non-looped version for most proper
sound. Not only because it is what Mellotron generated but also because
the non-looped sounds are better than the looped sounds.
I agree, but that flac is all we have, and we have no more access to the
mellotron. But Paolo's work on looping is good (IMHO) for a 4Mb
soundfont, especially the flute
