Mellotronists

well well well... http://www.sonicstate.com/articles/article.cfm?id=101 http://www.sonicstate.com/news/shownews.cfm?newsid=3371 id like to meet this woody.

Since a Tron is totally analog, besides wiring of a port, it'd probably 
take installing some kind of processor and 35 solenoids (preferably 
steam driven with brass fittings to give the image of some 
post-Victorian nightmare) to activate the notes, or some really tiny 
little guy that could fit inside the cabinet and press the keys.  Midi 
out would probably be much easier...

PS - if you will fund my R&D costs (say about $150,000), I'll get right 
on it

Back in the early '80s, some vendor had a similarly MIDI'd 400 at  the 
Anaheim NAMM show.
