Mellotron 4 track

2002-12-02 by charel196

Just wondering why Martin or Dave Kean never followed up on this 
concept with the usual wooden cabinet instead of the aluminum 
"Maytag".Seems like a cool idea...no moving heads,individual track 
volumes,eq,panning,outputs.Or what about using 8 or 16 tracks ala 
Chamberlin/Jtron? Why not offer a tron with these improvements(since 
no one seems to want a digital one)?
 I have read the 4 track had some problems with sound quality but Dave 
Kean thought it would be corrected with better tapes.Anyone ever hear 
or play one in person? How did it compare to a 400?
