The Mellotron Group

I agree on the M1...total crap.? I believe the Law and Order "guh-guh" is an M1 preset

i'd have to disagree, IMHO, of course.

with all the lame crap instruments out there, that would

not make my worst 10.

i find playing a rhodes a quite organic experience.

plug it into a phaser and i think they sound even better.



i vote for the korg M-1.

the very definition of "dross".

did anyone EVER actually program one, or did EVERYONE just

use the presets... i bet out of the thousands sold, only

a handful ever had their presets altered...

To my disappointment, it was about PC keyboards; however, it got me to thinking that we've talked about cool keyboards (our kind, of course), but I don't remember any exchanges about the worst.  Sure to be some controversy.  Any takers?
