The Mellotron Group

Lately I have been spending time with just two instruments... an M400 and  
my Triton ProX... and a cheesy drum machine. No computers except to capture 
what  I'm doing.

Thanks Dave but I couldn't face getting another computer  system. With 
computers and workstations I seem to get distracted away  from playing. The 
electro 4 is fairly simple and I think I will be more  likely just to play it.

I probably will in the end Andy. It has a fairly good  action and the one I 
tried out had a quite useable piano and a very  nice harpsichord. The free 
sample library is also a plus. A  good  piano will cost at least $20,000 
compared to $3700 for the Electro. (  Kiwi dollars )

Nah, get yourself the Electro Mark.
 I have the Electro 3 and am really happy with it.  Lightweight, so simple 
to use. Great organs, acoustic pianos, Rhodes  variants, trons, all very 
useable particular when driven through the  on board eqs and amp/effects sims. 
And if that's not enough, you can  download from the huge sample library for 
free from the Nord  website.

Seems to work well but I don't really like computers. Some  times I think I 
should just buy a really good piano.

I'm sure we  have different needs for these instruments, but I couldn't do 
my job  without Kontakt.  It's deep, but it's robust and  well designed.  
Anyone who owns the Chamber Winds, Angry  Strings or Plucked piano for their 
tron is  essentially playing a Kontakt patch :>)

Well I have been messing about with Kontakt 5 for few  days and will be 
saving up for the Electro 4 or something  similar.

I was trying out the Nord Electro 4 HP73 at the week end which  I really 
liked. However it is really just a keyboard that plays back  samples. I have a 
weighted action midi keyboard and a PC already and  for a 10th of the price 
could use Kontakt 5. Has anybody on the list  used both? Any thoughts?
