I love these battles! My question is, what does the music sound like? :)

Sorry for the brevity, as I am replying from a remote region of iPhonekstan.

       As best as I can judge from previously owning and operating an M400? Yes! Actually from what I have learned, it is one step closer to the actual original recordings due to the 24 bit, non-compressed method/process Markus used. And, I really DO NOT miss the inherited "background hiss" on my M400. Some will say "it is part of the charm". Hiss is charm?

      Well? I do now own an M4000D and am very excited about it. The way it works, the way it sounds, ease of mobility, clarity and stability of the sound which is excellent. Again having owned and recorded my own M400 back in the 70's. I am able to make a genuine judgement.
      But? If I decide to go with a home/studio unit, I would like to and may be personally visiting Martins' place...

I just got it ! Two Memotrons.  Classic line ups had 2 M400 on stage. I thought it had something to do with Soundscapes. I wasn't quite believing that Jakko was on board.  I am very glad I was wrong.

I saw Jakko playing in the Schizoid band twice. His passion for the music of Crim is incandescent and very real. If that is rubbing off on Mr enigmatic it would be quite wonderful.

Well since Mel Collins and Jakko Jakszyk are in this new Crimson, it stands to reason that the pre-1980 material is being brought out of retirement.

Gino, you are going to get some vintage Crimson and that's why they have two Memotron racks. No more gossip from me but it is exciting!
