There's an old instrument called a "Mellotron" that pre-dated the digital sampler. Each key triggered a different tape loop. It had some very identifiable sounds, such as the flute used on "Strawberry Fields".

The strings are also quite recognizable - grainy, with a lot of tape distortion. Once you hear the sound, you'll recognize it right away when you hear some old songs.

Here's a link to a someone demoing the instrument: https://youtu.be/N07-YAKtRAw?t=40

The strings are first sound he demos.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
