I have a CD with Mellotron samples, they aren't that good but,
*** the "Omni Sampler" is great, and it's a piece of cake to import those wav samples
and play them using a MIDI keyboard.
I miss the 3 Mellotrons I use to own. (had to sell them to pay medical bills)I did record the tapes before I let them go, but can't find them.
--> Also, others in this group have posted about Redtron, a free, and very good, Mellotron VST, that's easy to download, copy into the VST folder and works perfectly.
***Most of you are probably using Mixcraft only in the studio as your DAW. I love using it as a DAW, but I'm mostly using it live these days for all the incredible sounds & VST's that come with Mixcraft Pro, and all the VST's that you can add and play with Mixcraft. So I have a ton of tracks with all the sounds loaded up that I expect to use live, and solo only the track(s) that I need to use on the spot. Works great! This is all in an effort to reduce the footprint on stage, while still having all the sounds I'm use to with a large old school keyboard setup.
I haven't used the Omni Sampler 8 out yet, but will as I have a 10ch setup. I know 2ch's sounds like enough, but think even better than surround sound.

PS I haven't used .sf2 files before, but I started exporting the samples from them to .wav files, for use in the Omni Sampler.
I'm using the "free" Viena SoundFont Editor. It's GUI is absolutely stunning for a FREEWARE pgm.
--> Check it out if you're dealing with .sf2 files that contain multiple samples.
