Hmmm.  Fair enough. I was surprised by it being referred to as 'junk' 
simply  because the sound that comes out of it is not actually all that 
bad -  certainly better than a lot of what the M-Tron has to  offer.

That's true, Mike, unless you are using M-Tron samples in it. I think  
$2,600.00 US seems a lot for a machine that is so limited. If the Nord  is in the 
same price range, I would certainly go with it. I also thing that  M/A would pay 
more attention to the quality of the samples that are in it. I've  often 
wondered why so many of the folks who sell samples seem to think that the  
crappier they sound, the more authentic they are.
 
It seems obvious to me that when they were designed, Mellotrons  were 
intended to be reliable and at least somewhat consistent in their  sound reproduction.
