My first post to forum - have searched but no answers I can find.
My problem is that I can’t figure out how to use the Mellotron Rhythm and Fills from Sample Library 2.0.
Nord give no instructions on using these, particularly how the rhythms (also fiils and endings) are mapped to the keys on Nord Piano 3 keyboard.
I’ve downloaded a few to try and they all seem to be organised in different ways.
Some have endings in lower registers, some have fills, some have a few lead sounds built in on octave above middle C – all very confusing?
The Mellotron only had 35 notes so there must be some stretching or shortening beyond the range but again not very consistent.
Have contacted UK Distributor Sound Tech, they were very helpful but had no experience of using them.

Re: Mellotron Rhythm and Fills on Piano 3
I think with those samples what you hear is what you get. Try playing all of them and hold the key down for the entire length of the sample, and then you may need to take some careful notes about what is what. There is probably not much rhyme or reason to it. Remember these were originally designed/recorded in the late 60's - early 70's.
Yes there would be stretching beyond 35 notes but you should be able to guesstimate on the keyboard where that starts. Also Nord may have put more than 35 samples per set in - who knows.

Reply from Nord had no info other than sounds “should” be laid out as on original Mellotron. Who knows indeed.
