A little while back there was a thread about building Mellotron sound
fonts, but all the links posted in that thread are dead (searched via
Google). Does anyone know where these might be found? I've got this
great Mellotron VST plugin but it flat out refuses to work under any of
the Linux VST compatibility libraries (and the standalone version loads
under Wine, but it requires ASIO to produce any sound), so am looking
for something that will work under Linux.

I got a few hits back from Google but this is probably the
one you saw mentioned on this list... or at least where the
results of some of that discussion ended up.

Let me know if I can be of assistance, if you need raw Mellotron sounds. I
own a Mellotron M400, with new remasters of the following tapes:
8-choir
M300 strings
Cello
Mk-II strings
Russian Choir
Church Organ

I'd be happy to sample the full lengths of all 35 notes for all six sounds,
storing them as wavs. I don't have a lot of spare time these days, so I'll
let someone else have the pleasure of cropping/editing!
I wonder what the legal situation is regarding making soundfonts of these
recorded sounds...anyone know?

Not sure -- they may be copyrighted sounds.

This guy: http://tinpan.fortunecity.com/aphex/113/ offers a limited
set of mellotron samples, at least since 1999 (first google for
"mellotron copyright").
these guys: http://www.mellotron.com/cdlist.htm 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.

OK, cool.. some WAV files... guess they'd need to be converted into

As you infer, there's probably not a lot of call for that at present.

I'd be willing do it. I did the one called "mellotronia" that was floating
around. I never quite finished it, but the source had limited potential

Someone mentioned copyright but the chances of getting sued are pretty slim.

FYI, there's a smaller CD set of Mellotron samples being marketed by
VintageKeyboardSounds.com for $20 a disc. It has violins, cello and choir.

I think that may be exactly the situation. So long as we use original samples,
credit our sources and no-one makes any money out of it, the worst case
scenario is that Mellotron Archives insist we take the soundfonts off-line. I
think we might have a reasonable chance to argue that their endorsement of
these soundfonts might be a very cool PR move in the current climate of Linux
acceptance if it came to that. (: So I'm an optimist. :)

I'd definitely be interested in the choir and strings sounds.
I have no idea how to make soundfonts, though.

I think we'd all be interested in good samples of these. Plenty of people on

Yes please!
