Subject: Fw: [Mellotronists] Good Midi-controller for M-Tron?

Actually, a well-adjusted Mellotron is quite touch-sensitive, with differences of attack via velocity and polyphonic tone and volume control via pressure.  They are extremely nuanced and alive-feeling instruments, something they rarely get proper credit for.

Why is lack of response to touch a good thing? I use m-tron hosted by FL Studio and find it quite frustrating that I can't find any way of altering the note volume within a track. A  sample based touch sensitive tron would at least have one advantage over a real one.

Any bit of crap will do. The M-Tron doesn't need much. It only requires
35 active keys, does not respond to touch (good) and does not respond to
voice changes either (bad).
