The Mellotron Group

Hey Mark-
   Might be the old devil of a ground loop.  I suggest getting an isolation box, or a direct box, and hooking it up to the 'Tron output before plugging it into the computer.  This would isolate the ground paths, breaking the loop.  Good luck!

Try plugging your laptop into a different circuit than the mellotron?
