Hey folks,

Early last year, I signed a deal with Clavia to provide them the entire Mellotron Library for a new instrument that they had in mind. They have also licensed the "Mellotron" trademark for this specific use.

What they have come up with is really great. It's called "The Wave" and I just finished a week of living with one here in the studio. I'll let the specs speak for themselves, but it really sounds great. I am not crazy about ALL of the patches that they have assembled for the presets as shipped...but those are easily tweaked towards perfection. They did a fine job of sampling, organizing and optimizing these sounds. If you're going to NAMM, check it out. Load up one of the Tron patches and have the demo guy show you how to access the raw sample data in one of the two voice slots. Very nice. Every note sampled, high rates and bit depth, from the master tapes.

This is NOT, in any way, in my financial interest to post. We were paid, up front, for this license, If anything, sales of our Mellotron CD ROM will go down with the success of this instrument, but we've had a good run with that disk. I get lots of questions about what hardware/softsampler etc. is required to use the disk...the Wave EASY to use and has tons of other great sounds and features ready to go. It's light, smallish, stylish and should fit the bill if you've ever lusted for these sounds.

The did do ONE thing wrong though- no Chamberlin sounds! Silly.
