mellotron - anybody actually play one?

[newking70]

from what i understand it derives it sounds from tapes?

I had a chance to play one years ago, and yes there was a seperate loop of tape for each key. You can find digital samples made from the original tapes in some sample libraries. Not the same experience as playing the real thing though.

Very cool and retro sound that is in demand again. A friend of mine has one for sale, if you're interested.

Mark Taylor (jazz French Horn player :shock: ) has apparantly working with one of these things lately.
