Softsynth Prog. For Mellotron/Hammond sounds?

[JeffTD]

Can anyone recommend a good Softsynth program for mellotran and organ sounds? I haven't had any luck with what I've tried so far.

Thanks!

Reason! I got a mellotron refill for NNXT that kills!

Alright, Mellotrons! Now we're talking! GMedia's Mtron is what you want for Mellotron awesomeness; M-Audio started distributing it bundled with 2 Gig's worth of tape banks. It's about $99 at Guitar Center and places like that; I've had it for a few months now, and although I have an entire hard drive dedicated to realistic orchestral libraries, I still reach for M-Tron's "YES Strings" patch all the time. Unfortunately, somebody left a coffee cup on it for too long, but it sounds fine nonetheless:

For hammond organ, I still feel Native Instruments' B4 is king, but there's also big sample libraries such as USB's Charlie. I don't have it, but I imagine some people may prefer real hammond samples over an emulation. However, if hard drive space is an issue, B4 kicks ass, and it sounds pretty convincing to me.

My NNXT Mellotron Refill takes up about 64 megs. M-Tron takes up 2 gigs. Hmmmmmmmm. I may have to buy this!

Listen to the Mtron demo here... that Beatles intro sounds just like it!

Theres also the AKAI vintage time traveller for Kontakt, also the free Tapeworm VST (google it).

Also a free VST mellotron plugin called Mellowsound (http://www.kvraudio.com/get.php?mode=show&id=352), I use it whenever I need a mellotron, sounds good for the price

The m-tron demo sounds decidedly better than my ghetto Reason refill... which has some octave transposition bugs. Gonna get m-tron as soon as I can.

Try this one:

Tapeworm Mellotron

It has around 12 Mb of original mellotron multisamples, and the best, it's free!!!
