Don't get me started on a 4000D. I know people who are full time working  
musicians who's records we have all bought and it is regarded as adirty  
oppurtunistic fake, like a guitar with Gribson or Pender on the headstock,  
there were such things.  
If you can't afford a real Mellotron then don't bother buying an ersatrz  
device.. get a laptop or a sampler, theat plays Streetly approved samples. I  
have a Melotron and a computer and a sampler but I have felt no need for a  
thing that replicates a common thing like sample playback. If there was  
anything about these machines that made them special in termsof functionality  
I would not hesitate to reccomend.EG : I can't find a anything that 
repliactes  my Crumar Performer.


A VST playback module like the Muse would be what I would buy


Look up the gear approach used by Radio Massacre International. A  stripped 
down sampler with good samplesin a solid easy to maintain hardware  shell 
and power sypply that demands no work to replace .is a great  thing.
