Ah Germany, the home of electronic music. :)

Love it. Mellotron strings to me are more like the ghosts of real strings which is really cool.

[georgetempest]

I like the 'secret stash' under the cover ;o) and wooden keys are pure nostalgia...

[Trondoc]

Pretty cool! I have an M400 and a M4000. I'd love to have one of these as well. Markus makes nice stuff!

The original Mellotron was invented by Streetly Electronics in Manchester, England in 1962, and went on the market in 1963. Moody Blues keyboardist Mike Pinder fell into his role as keyboardist in the Moodies due to his being a pianist and a salesman for Streetly Electronics in 1963-64 when the Moodies first got together as the M&B Five in April-May 1964.

@RothHandle The Mellotron was the first "sampler" - it plays recordings of other instruments. It has it's own unique sound due to the magnetic replay heads adding their own characteristics to the sound. It also adds all sorts or whirring and clunking noises which most people can live without! The 4000D has all the sounds most sane people would want and which the audience hears - QED

Gotta love me som Mellotron... Fantastic, lo-fi, very sentimental and beautiful.

[FelixPando]

Genieles instrument, Ich habe ein original mellotron M400 aber diesem kling viel bessser als meine alte instrument.. grussen aus Usa.

If it's a tape based unit, then why is it on a stand?

The 4000D is a digital unit, if it keeps the original Mellotron sound, us roadies are gonna love it. Finally a Mellotron that will actually fit in a keyboard case and can be carried by a single person.

Behold the power and the glory of our Mellotron Overlords! 🤍

Darf man Fragen wie die Musikstücke der Vorführung heißen ? Bei der Präsentation am Anfang und bei dem Elektro Gitarre Style ? hat mir gut gefallen. Sehr schöne Darbietung und Vorstellung der Orgel.

[glennquagmire]

Excellent set up.  Knew it was a matter of time where they'd digitize all of the old Mellotron sounds and make it all easily accessible and far more reliable than the tape units.  Only negative is that I wish the keyboard was at least an octave longer.

@UMAMIMAMU - No, the D stands for digital. If you watched the film up to 6 mins...the guy PICKED IT UP to show the rear panel.

I dont find it pointless. I would rather have this onstage than a laptop/controller/etc etc. Same reason I gig out with a hammond XK1 instead of any virtual bullshit. The closer it looks, feels, and sounds to the real thing the better. That matters to some people. It's not like I'm not familiar with the mtron and chamberlain vst libraries. They sound great. Of any replica of mellotron this is what I'd want above all others, including the memotron.

[Balonious_Crunk]

Does this new model still use tapes like the old ones used to?

[lucasseyer]

Hi. The piano melody of that song is ? 0.05

[shookstylez]

does anybody know if you can load up 2 of the same sounds in slot A and B?
And if you can modulate the Motor 'slop' independently to these sounds?

[pauljtonehead]

I'm an analog musician all the way, love all that is analog. Digital is finally in a position to recreate analog with all of it's idiosyncrasies and make them random enough to please even me, but of course the real thing sitting there is beyond duplication. We should at least be glad that the speakers and our ears are still analog.

I look for someone to start experimenting with new types of microelectromechanical tone generation that can bridge the in/out gap between analog & digital. See me

[EricDB]

they expanded the digital version so you could play watcher of the skies right on it. totally true story.

[Sam_Utah]

Yes, that is correct. To retain the true tonality it has to be limited in range. Good call.
