Mellotron Master Tapes for Electro 5

Post by MogensP47 »

Hello there!
I have had my Nord Electro 5HP for 2½ years now and I am satisfied with what it can do for me.
Unfortunately, the distributor in my area (Copenhagen) is out of business and so, I cannot ask them for help. I lean on you!

I am fond of the Mellotrone sounds (old fan of the Moody Blues) and so, I would like to have the full suite from the Mellotrone Master Tapes available.

I believe that it has only been released for the newest keyboards - Nord Electro 6, etc.

Is there any chance to get them for my instrument?

Cheers,
Mogens

You are right, it's not availbale for your instrument: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... ollections
("The Nord Sample Library 3.0 is only compatible with the Nord Stage 3, Nord Electro 6, Nord Piano 4 and Nord Grand.")

So you'd need somebody, who can convert Mellotron sounds (which ones?) into samples you can read in. Or may be the sample editor can do it?

You may also consider sending a request to Nordkeys ;-) Once they know, chances may increas :)

Hi, it‘s right that there are no mellotrons in 2.0, but I found these in the even older archive. Does it help? Cheers.
