Happy New Year!

The M5000 is an homage to the MKII.  Same shape cabinet, push button controls, 48 sounds, internal speakers and spring line reverb but a little lighter.  Hurray!

The Memotron rack mount is formidable as is the Memotron.  All sounds are from real instruments for authenticity and not master tapes.  It is a genuinely great product from people we know trust.

You may find this endorsement odd but there are no issues between us or commercial connections.  They do their thing and we do ours with mutual respect.  Selling through negativity is a trait of others!

Best,

Martin

Hi all-
   Wishing can be dangerous in these digital times.  The Memotron rack-mount is advertised as being configurable as 2 keyboards side-by-side, using an single large MIDI keyboard. It kinda captured my interest.

Obviously the original ~had~ to be built that way (mechanical logistics) but why you would want to connect 2 manuals

side by side in ~modern~ times is beyond me…..

That would be kinda like putting a Ferrari engine in a Ford Cortina with all of the original Cortina Instruments and controls. That would be something, wouldn't it?

I personally would love a dual manual M4000D (Markus' digital unit) in a replica MKII wooden cabinet with authentic controls, an accessible hard drive with the entire library, and digital reverb/efx with some nice JBL speakers in the cabinet:)
