There is a rumour that Waldorf are going to bring a mellotron sample play back unit in the same format as the the Striechfett, as I already have M-tron pro and the Streetly expansion pack I wouldn't be interested myself but I could see it as a challenge to the M4000 D and the memotron particularly if it is at the same price point as the Striechfett or Rocket.


Off topic the keyboard that really does excite me is the Korg Minilogue which looks like it will be a modern minimoog.

Mark -
I'll be at NAMM for the first time tomorrow. I'll see if I can check on 
that.

Well the Waldorf turned out to be just a rumour, I know this is off topic but I would really like this:

However I can't really justify another monosynth so I'll probably go for the minilogue.

Eric says Hi back.
The synth area at NAMM was crammed with a lot young cottage makers and old-timers. Lots of neat stuff and some interesting innovations.

Ha ha! Funny thing is I'm Facebook friends with him (plus we are only about 50-60 miles apart from each other). But since you were going, I figured adding the Mellotron connection between us would amuse him. :) Thank you sir!

It was my first time at NAMM and it was great fun trying new guitars, 
basses, keys, amps, etc. Wow, it is huge. It's also amazing how much 
crap there is out there - but there was some really excellent quality 
gear. My son's quest was in-ear monitors and over-ear headsets. Audio 
Technica ATH-R70x were the best phones and by far the most comfortable. 
The AudioFly AF1120's won the in-ear sweepstakes. Too many highlights to 
mention. My son joined me for two of my three days of wading through a 
sea of people.

I visited with Markus and played the digital machines (all three) and 
the Mark VI - my first time with them.

Also went over to the Moog stand where my son and I fiddled with the 
modulars - he got a short lesson on ADSR and VCO's and such. He was 
inspired... As we were getting up to leave I noticed the badge on an 
older fellow standing nearby, and - wouldn't you know it  - it was Dave 
Van Koevering and he was part of the Moog company's entourage. I 
introduced myself by way of saying that I remember seeing his machines 
in Dave Kean's collection. We had a nice 15-20 minute chat - talking 
about Bob Moog, music, etc. He's a walking history lesson in things 
synth-y - very interesting man and very nice.
My son with Dave VaKo:
