Don't have the software, but I do have one of these:
This has 4 choirs, 4 strings, 4 flutes (all very good) + a few patches combining them with other classic 1970s keyboards. If you have a midi keyboard, I'd recommend this (I managed to pick mine up for less than £80 Sterling last year). Great 'tron sounds, but you also get about 400 other great samples. -------------

I'd highly recommend Tapeworm by tweakbench. It's a Vsti plugin and it's free: http://www.tweakbench.com/tapeworm - http://www.tweakbench.com/tapeworm ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

Any host program that supports vst plugins will work. Garageband: Virtual software instrumentsGarageBand can play virtual software instruments for creating songs or playing music live using 50 sampled or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthesizer - synthesized instruments which can be played using a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI_keyboard - MIDI keyboard connected to the computer, or using an on-screen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual#Computing - virtual http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_keyboard - keyboard . Additional instruments are available in the five GarageBand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GarageBand#Jam_Packs - Jam Packs , separate products offered by Apple Inc.; each expansion pack costs approximately $100 USD and adds dozens of virtual instruments.

The best one is probably the M-Audio M-Tron And I own the Vintage Keys too, it's great!! Mellotron sounds are cleaner than the M-Tron so, maybe less autentic. I use it mainly for solina and wurlitzer sounds :) You can hear all of this in my signature ;) ------------- My music: http://spleenarcana.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - http://spleenarcana.bandcamp.com/ My blog: http://groovesandmemories.com/" rel="nofollow - http://groovesandmemories.com/ |

Yes I do. You're referring to G-Force's M-Tron software, distributed by M-Audio, right?
It's an amazing software and I love it to death. True Mellotron sounds and not just strings, choir and flutes but also brass, orchestra, organ, accordion, vibes, rythms, effects and so on. It even has a special "half speed" patch (great for that final sound at the end of "Sailor's Tale") and also new recordings of modern choirs, etc.
We all know the mixed choir sound, but I gotta say the children's choir tapes are really f***in scary!
By all means get it, you can't go wrong with it and sounds just like the real thing
