Mellotron Story Narrated by Rick Wakeman

[64Guitars]

I don't know about the Manetron app but RedTron comes with SoundFont files (".sf2") which can be used from any SoundFont player (you probably already have one as a VST or something). I use the RedTron SoundFont files in Linux with a SoundFont player.

If, for some reason, you prefer to go the WAV file route, you can download the WAV file samples used by RedTron here:

I didn't know that Redtron uses sf2 files.  I am ridiculously excited to install these tomorrow.  And now I just need to write the prog epic.

I'm not sure I want to ask why you have a purple cape, but if I am to properly channel Mr. Wakeman...

Just saw this. I love the Mellotron, and this piece of music (and in particular this chord sequence) more than anything ignited my deep love of music (and prog). I remember it like it was yesterday, the first time the Foxtrot album spun on my cheap record player in 1973 and those chords came out of the speakers....... spine tingling awesomeness. And when I saw them perform it live on the Foxtrot tour it was sublime. And now you can do it on your phone or iPad!!!! If you'd told me that back then, I would not have believed you.
