Mellotron inside

wo wo wooo, so analog means it runs on tape!!!

omg i tottally did not know that, but how do u change the sound then?

analog means works in terms of continuous values

Analogue can be on any kind of medium, tape, disk, wire, whatever. Same thing with digital. Digital just means the signal is numeric.
Each tape has multiple tracks on it so changing sounds just means switching to adjacent track. I believe Mellotrons have 3 tracks across 3/8" tapes.

Ancient? Indeed, yes. I understand that some of the Egyptian pharoahs were buried with their mellotrons, though usually these with the first things stolen when their tombs were looted.

lmfao

Dude, that is funny! Great comment.
You're right. It was not all that long ago that the Mellotron was state of the art technology.

Fascination sound of mellotron ....

Neither really. It just sort of glitches on the last tiny segment of the sound as the tape slips & grabs on the rollers.

No it doesn't! It just goes silent as the note stops.

The tape is over from a start in 7-8 seconds. Therefore, the sound stops suddenly on the way. A spring sticks to each tape, and the tape is rewound at the top position by about 0.5 seconds when release a key.
