Mellotron Mellotron Micro Synthesizer

The Mellotron M4000D Micro is a sample-based synthesiser. It is the smallest version of the Mellotron, a faithful reproduction of the original Mellotron, a keyboard instrument that featured a tape reel with samples for each key. The replica, now available, generates the sound digitally and features 100 sounds from both the Mellotron and the Chamberlin. It is played via a velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted keyboard covering two octaves. The current Mellotron Company has digitised the original audio tapes of all the instrument recordings and incorporated them into the new Mellotron. It also features the sounds of the Chamberlin, an instrument that functioned in a similar way to the Mellotron.
