音がいいですね! テープの長さまで再現されているとは。 ところで冨田勲さんはメロトロンのコーラスの音をよく使っていたそうですが、テープの長さで音の長さが限られてしまうので、 マルチトラックレコーダーの複数のトラックを使って音が切れる前に別のトラックに録音して、音をつなげていたそうです。 MOOGのエンベロープとVCAに通して音の立ち上がりを滑らかにしたり、エコー・リバーブでつなぎ目をわからないようにしていたそうです。

Here's a funny story that may appeal to other Mellotron fans. Back in 1986-7, Casio came out with a sampler called the SK-5. Most professional samplers at that time cost thousands of dollars, but the SK-5 was $75 new. So I bought it 😊I spent days trying to find a single note of just a Mellotron being played that was long enough that I could make a decent sample of it. Finally I did but it was damned hard to find and I couldn't tell you where I found it. For a while I was living the good life with a big loud Mellotron sound that annoyed most people but was heaven to me. Fast forward almost 40 years and now I have a hard drive full of Mellotron samples. I can still play the intro to "Watchers of the Skies" which still makes me happy 😀

freakin' hilarious because we were all broke-ass Fairlight Mellotron dreamers. Since King Crimson and then the Moodys who actually got their Mellotron used from KC i've chased the Mellotron - I had cheap Yamaha keyboard around same time - a little black thing with some colored buttons but screw that - it had a little mic and sampling function as well as a line in/out for under $100 BAM - I was blowing bottles into it and nailed Strawberry Fields !!! I stole some mellotron from the fanTASTIC long notes on Cirkus and In The Wake Of Poseidon LPs Today? I use the stupid cool Mellotoons mellotron in Logic and Garageband all the pre-sets and versions are there... Also have the real Leslie plug-in from IK for my inner No Matter What, or It Don't Come easy. Cheers ! 🎸

By design, the limitation in the Mellotron's realism is mostly in the release. You can sample a perfect attack and sustain on tape, but the release on this instrument _has_ to be artificial. The tape has a given length, and when you release the key, it has to manufacture some sort of release sound, because it's not on the tape, at that precise moment in the sample. It's a challenge in design and engineering to try and make it sound close to right, but at the same time, that's the characteristic sound of the Mellotron, so you don't want it to be perfect. Many very popular musicians and bands have used the Mellotron despite having the resources to book an orchestra to record the same arrangement. Music is funny like that. We prefer a real flue to a synth flute because the imperfections in the real flute cannot be synthesized from whole clothe perfectly with current technology. And then at times we prefer a sampled flute on the Mellotron against a real flute, in some applications, because of imperfections in the reproduction.

Apparently mellotron has been used more often in music productions, or am I wrong? For example: In the performance of Above & Beyond Acoustic - Full Concert Film Live from Porchester Hall (Official), at 16:24 a mixed sound of piano and flute starts playing in the background, is it the mellotron?

​@@JohnLRice Right? I also thought the music was lovely (actually a lot of it, because there are a lot of good ones in there). About the comment, I really think it sounds like the Mellotron in flute mode (mkii). I watched the concert again and noticed that the instrument that makes that sound is focused quickly by the camera a few times (at 52:02, 57:45 and 1:09:09). Besides this sound (piano mixed with flute) being present almost entirely in the mentioned concert, I also noticed it in the meantime in other songs listed below). Snow Patrol, Life on Earth in 2:13 and Two Worlds Apart by Kohta Yakamoto in 0:28 (there are many other recent productions). Anyway, thanks John, this "case study" was fun. I don't know if you or anyone else will come back to answer this comment in the future (confirming whether it is indeed a Mellotron or not, with the new evidence I cited). But that's it :) Thanks again!

@@Mouraxy My obsessive/compulsive nature shall not be denied answers! 😅 Thanks for the additional time stamps and I can see that the keyboard being played is definitely and electronic/synth type one, and looks really familiar. At first I thought it might be a black Mellotron Micro but it looks to be a 3 octave keyboard (the Micro is only 2 octaves) and the body of a 3 octave Mellotron Mini is a lot deeper behind the keys so that's out. The orange glow of the tiny bit of the keyboard's control panel we can see at the far left looks familiar though and could maybe be a Roland controller keyboard but the one I think it is has writing directly above the keys for various functions but no writing can be seen at the timestamps where he is playing so I wasn't sure. Throughout the show, like between 1:00:00 -1:04:00 for instance, you can see the backside of what he is sitting at while playing Mellotron sounds and it looks similar to a black Mellotron M400, but a real Mellotron wouldn't have a synth style keyboard like that. Scanning through further I finally found a couple good shots of the keyboard when he was playing the bells instead, and I'm sure now it's a Roland A-49 MIDI controller keyboard! 🙌 (see it at at 53:21 and 56:18). I own one so I'm very familiar with them. Of course why wasn't there writing above the keys during the close up shot of him playing but there was writing visible when he was playing the bells? I'll guess that since this concert was shot over 4 days that while reviewing the footage after the first show or two someone in production thought that it should be hidden more so the writing was erased or painted over for the later shows? (I'd guess that the video was assembled out of the best performances and shots of all four days and not necessarily in sequence) In general I'll assume that using a genuine tape Mellotron wasn't available or not convenient enough but just having a digital Mellotron or other various electronic devices clearly visible on stage would break the "Acoustic illusion" they wanted to create so they made a "Mellotron façade" and filled it with electronics? 😏 So, the mystery still remains as to what device was actually producing the Mellotron sounds and was it inside the big black box or maybe even off stage somewhere? It could be anything I suppose from one of the Mellotron M4000D models, to one of the Memotron models, or a laptop running GForce’s M-Tron Pro software, or possibly even an iPad running one of the apps from Streetly or Mellotron? 🤷‍♂🤓

@@JohnLRice That's it! Because of your sharing of your knowledge, I am getting my doubts answered and my curiosity that I have had for years (yes, years). So, thank you! About the instrumental question, you solved the puzzle, it really is a Roland A-49 MIDI controller, your observation of the new time stamps was amazing (I really didn't notice it). Now, the black box lol, I think the same as you, I believe it is just an aesthetic issue or even support, not to distract the audience and support the keyboard. The Mellotron was too expensive, so they made a fake one haha. But who knows? Since the instrument is a controller, as you pointed out, they are probably using some hidden software or hardware to make the flute/mellotron sound. I agree with you 100%. My guess is that a plugin/vst is simulating the flute/mellotron sound of the keyboard. All the magic is in 4:51 on the left ;) Now, what is the software? And especially what effect is used? Many, many songs and soundtracks are using this repeated timbre and rhythm (of the flute) to enhance and strengthen their musical background, I would even say it is becoming a trend in music production. If one day you discover what this effect is, please come back and tell me 😅 Thank you so much for taking your time answering me 🖖🤜🤛

The only instrument for which I struggle to see the appeal. Any ROMpler from the past 40 years can play samples poorly, which is literally the only hallmark of the Mellotron. The neo Mellotron should expound on the legacy of the cutting edge original concept & create a HARDWARE platform for third party developers to integrate VST quality sample libraries into sleek hardware devices for moderate prices (some inadvertent poetry). That would be an imaginative way to move the concept forward. This is a novelty toy.

I certainly can understand why someone, today, would struggle to see the appeal of the Lo-Fi sound of a Mellotron. I appreciate how far instrument manufacturers and software instrument developers have come in the last 50 years, since the Mellotron was popular. I owned a Mellotron and several synthesizers through the years. Back in the 70s the only way you could achieve a full ‘string section’ type of sound was with a Mellotron. Synthesizers were only capable of playing one note at a time (Minimoog) or two notes at a time (ARP Odyssey). The electronic ‘string machines’ like the ARP String Ensemble and several others by different manufacturers, like Crumar and Freeman, etc. truly didn’t do realistic type of string sounds, at all. So, we had to deal with what we had. Never the less, the Mellotron crept it’s way into countless recordings. Depending on not only the musician playing it but also the engineer recording a Tron, it could sound fairly convincing, back in the day. And in other recordings it just had a signature sound that many have just embraced. Some people will always love nostalgia. That’s true because companies like Korg, Behringer and others have released hardware reproductions of the Minimoog, ARP Odyssey, ARP 2600, Prophets and others. And software companies have released versions of these same synths and others, as well. So, Lo-Fi though it may be, the Mellotron has placed its indelible stamp on the music world, from its origins decades ago, even to the music of today.

And playing them on a midi keyboard that was $120? Lol not much difference at all besides saving almost 90%

Yeah this is insanely overpriced. Based on what it is I expected a $150-$200 price tag. I'm blown away to see that it's $1500. What a ripoff.

懷かしいなぁ。キングクリムズンで一躍有名に成ったけど、ムーグシンセサイザーかメロトロンかで比較されても、当時日本ではムーグが45万円、メロトロンが290万円で価格差が大きくて、更にキース・エマーソンの人気が高くシンセサイザーの独り勝ちになったな。

You want a Mellotron sound? For less money you can buy an iPad and IK Multimedia’s Sampletron. Then you can also purchase, and/or download for free, thousands of more high quality samples, soundfonts and modeled instruments. I have been playing out professionally using my iPad and two keyboard controllers for years. And I have more sounds at my disposal than most of the expensive keyboards from all the major players. I have all I could ever want.

This is just like Hainbach's M-Tron plugin, but his plugin has more features, plus additional features for a premium licensed version.

Sure but there are advantages to using a Mellotron Micro (or other hardware Mellotron model) over using a plugin. 😎 It all depends on preferred workflow and other needs.

Why buy a separate keyboard for low quality samples? A DSP-effect in a modern workstation can do the same.
