Thanks for all you've done to preserve the Mellotron and it's digital counterpart! Love my M4000D!

Incredibly unique sound. I love it.

Very cool! Thanks for all your work. Someday I’d love to see something similar to the multi-sampling of a Rhodes hammer strike done in the digital mellotrons, where you have the “key click” effect of the tape slapping the heads present at different velocities. Good examples of this are The Rolling Stones - Sing This All Together or Spring - The Prisoner (Eight By Ten). It’s a quirk that comes about playing fast choppy passages and one of the very few things I can think of that distinguish the sound & feel of tape versus digital trons. Anyhow thanks again for keeping the dream alive!

Are these still being made? The old website says they are, but the copyright statement on the old website also hasn't been updated since 2011, so I'm not sure what, if any, information there is still accurate.
