When I Tried out the nord electro in the musc store I really liked the strawberry fields flute but the strings were not convincing or even impressive to me at all, I'm hoping that the sounds in the mellotron library are better sounding. What are you guys doing to get the great old mellotron sounds from your electro ?

Bear in mind that the 'stock' sample sounds are just a very small selection of what is available in the Nord Sample Library. Even if you weren't so keen on one of the Mellotron strings sounds, I expect there will be others (and non-Mellotron sounds) that you do like.

Hi,

I have the same impression, and in the end I created my own Strings sound, sampled from a PC3 Kurzweil Mellotron Strings, that sounds pretty good.

PC3 had only 3 or 4 Mellotron's Strings sounds, but it's really better than Nord's, in my opinion.

I think that the problem doesn't come from the sample itself, but from the lack of edition available on the sample librairy. PC3 has a huge effect section and many layering possiblities, so the sample are used more deeply by the machine.

(sorry for my english ... )
