OK, thanks for the ref. Not a big fan of soundfonts either (my card
doesn't support them anyway, I'd need a softsynth that does).
If you find
some decent Mellotron sounds, I'd be interested in hearing
about it. I've got a VST plugin with samples from a real Mellotron,
but I've yet to get it working using libfst or vstserver. I may just
end up making my own samples of the samples (which are, after all,
early analog samples of real instruments) and using them as soundfonts
or something along those lines. Of course, I can't redistribute them,
since the samples from GMedia are copyrighted.
If you're up for trying something new (I'm not a sound Font fan) you can
get a free Mellotron gig file at
http:www.worrasplace.com
(Look under 'Oldies'.) LS is all very much development software, and there
are a lot of changes
going on right now so it may be broken, but maybe you'll get lucky. LS
is a Jack application and gerneally runs very well for me on most gig
files. There are still a few it really dies on but I cannot get the
developers to pay attention to those yet.
I use a different, for money, Mellotron gig file under QSampler and GSt,
but this free one is certain OK when buried in the right mix.
What Mellotron sounds are these?
