Completely agree Tom
Which makes me wonder,aren't the samples in the
M4000D taken directly from the mastertapes, instead of
a real Mellotron?
I believe they were taken from a real Mellotron. The typical NAMM show cacophony aside (plus the dipshits trying God knows what with the analog synths in the Big City Music booth like Berington mentioned), doing A/B comparisons this year (w/ an M400) and last year (w/ a MkVI), it's damned hard to tell any difference.
I'll upload some pics as well.
