A white Hammond, Leslie, and Mellotron? God dwells in this room.
-
the mellotron is the most prog instrument ever created!

Wrong. The new Mellotron M4000D is digitally sampled from the original mellotron tape archive and I can assure you that it is magnificent. It even retains the notorious 8-second note duration. Its sounds are indistinguishable from those of its predecessors (and weighs just 33lbs).
-
The first two chords you play sound almost EXACTLY like porcupine tree's Gravity eyelids :D (because they use a mellotron for that song I believe)

@LeilaniLad what makes you think it's not analogue? Last time I checked the Mellotron's voices were recorded onto analogue tape as dats were not around then.. so how can it be digital??? ODD!!!
-
@AIKevorkian Agree completely, I don't think they'll ever be digital synhs that sound as good as the analogue ones in my collection along wit many more that don't, analogue will always be king.....
-
sound : 40 dB. noise : 80 dB. fantastic ? lol ? no
-
@LeilaniLad It's still analog though. The sampled recordings and playback mechanism are analog.
-
@AIKevorkian Amusing considering it's not analog, it's the first sampling keyboard. It had recorded samples on strips of magnetic tape and heads ride along and play them as the keys are pressed.

I don't think there is ANYTHING digital that can produce this real, haunting analog sound.
