Well, specifically the choir (voice), and secondarily the strings. I
have a bunch of Mellotron samples, but I was hoping to tweak them in a
synth engine, which is of course a bit iffy in a sampler. I have since
ordered a Roland M-VS 1, which will be here sometime between now and
Christmas :-P but I also am thinking of these Mellotron sounds as a
base for further exploring, and of course the M series sound expanders
are not really synthesizers (so I'm still interested in anyone's
experience in this area).

Thanks for checking in!
