Dave appears to be talking to Hal 9000 from the movie 2001 space odyssey.

@AdamSeitzman "I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that"

as a commercial for SampleTron it's not super informative, but it does help sell the software seeing what's in it! and I learned more about mellotrons than I knew before, thanks for this vid.

@ultramouse I guess this is why we're "Musicians First" like out tagline - gear geeks to the core!

@peahix Pea! You rock. Yes, Optigan enthusiasts MUST go to optigan.com for sure. Also Pea's band Optiganly Yours is something not to miss.

@stomachlining Cool! Thanks.

[sonicreality]

@vineyardedge Thanks!

[sonicreality]

@mimoocho No not all of the instruments sampled but most of them. Some were borrowed from friends.

[vineyardedge]

Love the whole premise behind your company, Dave. Cool video :D

Great vid. Do you own all the IKMM moog , synths, trons sampled? If you do WOW!

S/tron is very underrated. THe Chamberlin Flutes (StrawberryFields Sound ...I think) are fabulous...and the Optigan loops ..some funny stuff there.
