Mellotron 'Strawberry Fields' patch?

The Beatles used a "flute" sound on the mellotron. Try using a flute patch, altering the attack/decay until you find the right sound. The original sound had a fairly slow attack.

You need to dirty up the sound a bit too. Try using one of the guitar amp model effects. I'm guessing you don't have the Ultimate Keys (SRX07) expansion board. This one has a patch that does this flute, although it needs a bit of tweaking.

Hi there, i have loads of Mellotron patches and plenty of spot on realistic programmed flutes including samples from an original mellotron with all the tape strains intact.

My original tron flutes patches were made on my XP workstation and are easily transferrable to an Fantom (all on a patchsheet) you'll need the SRX-07 board as stated.

hoodedclaw,

I am very interested in some realistic flute sounds. I have programmed a couple that are passable, but would like to take a listen to what you have. How do I get the Patch sheets?

Bassman,

I could scan the patch sheets, there are 4-tronflute patches, the patch sheets are printed, but the values for each patch are handwritten, so i'd need to scan at a high resolution for you to read them. I can send them to you via Email.

They do transfer easily to the Fantom using SRX-07 board as all the waves from the vintage board are there, you only need to use TronFlute A, B & C (286 - 288)

As for the keyrange it is set between G3 and F6, mimicking the original tron's 35 note keyboard.
