Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

Doesn't the Memotron already exist in the form of keyboards that support a
nice chunk of sampling RAM or can import Mellotron samples such as the
CD-ROM that Dave Kean created?

The M400-like format of the Memotron is interesting, but wasn't that
handled somewhat by the guy who made fake M400s w/ the MIDI keyboard
controller and sold them on EBay not long ago? Buy that, jam a sampler in
it, and you're done.

Or a Kurzweil 2600 plus the Kean CD-ROM. Or #805 being sampled into the
sampler that was included with Cakewalk Project 5.

I guess my question is what the Memotron will give us that we don't already
have in some form. It seems like packaging to me. But sometimes that's
all a product is---repackaging of existing ideas.
