Do many of the group play the mellotron as a solo instrument? I only have access to M-tron, a situation I am hoping to remedy, it sounds ok used as a backing instrument using block chords with lots of reverb but I spent quite a lot of time this morning trying to use it as solo instrument and I realise that most of the group is right, it sounds terrible and not just my playing! The left hand drowns out the right really easily and anything played at higher end of the keyboard is as irritating as finger nails on a blackboard.
Is a real tron useable as a solo instrument? I ask because I don't play in a group and am not likely to do in the near future.
Thanks
Mark
