This is the selection of sounds from the Mk II masters that I received from Les Bradley in 1990. The Mk I set is slightly different and is listed below. These are the only two sets that I have personally used and made copies of. There may be older Mk I's with differences, especially in the left hand keyboard Rhythms and Fills section. I have seen two other configurations listed for the left side in old literature, letters and the orignal Mellotron Booklet.

The Mk II Rhythm and Fills, with all of their charm, are not for everyone. After many requests to offer an alternate selection I compiled a new set of Mk II Leads. This set, while not "period" for a Mk II, makes many of the M400 and M300 sounds available.
