Any of you ever had this on a tron: mechanical whine when playing a key?The pinchroller of the key is rolling perfectly,and the tape makes no contact with the tape guides,as far as I can tell.This mechanical artifact comes thru on the audio output for some reason.Any ideas?


I've heard Martin whine when a play various notes on the mellotron, but then, I've also heard Martin whine when I'm not within a 10-foot cattle prod of a mellotron. I think he just whines and there's nothing to be done about it.
