as long, as you compare to the unlooped Nord Samples (NOT the standard size looped!) the sound is very similar, but there are of course some differences. on the M4000D is a "Mellotron M400" Mode, which is sort of an EQ, cuts the highs and so on, you would use the EQ on the Nord for more or less the same effect.
and of course, you havent got no mixing possibilites, no pitch, no tone, no dynamic keyboard on the Nord. I'd say: go for it!
I've always thought someone should make a software effect called a "Mellotronizer" that makes everything sound like it's being played from a .......well....you know.
Hello -- I was wondering how your 4000D is doing? Markus told Big City Music for those of us who ordered in the USA that he'd ship in Jan, but has delayed for software issues, and we are all waiting patiently, but I know those who ordered direct have their instruments already. Are you experiencing any problems or software issues to speak of?
Hi Dano,I love it to death. I know, the long wait killed me too, but its really worth. I still have sort of a Beta Sowftware in it, I'll meet Markus at the MusikMesse in Frankfurt (April) where I'll get the software updates, and hopefully all missing sounds.

Hey. What are the advantages of this hardware mellotron over a software simulator?

You don't need a computer, you don't have any CPU/RAM usage and you can play with it on a stage. And no loading times for the samples.
