Subject: M4000D and M3000

As I understand it the M3000 and M4000D play digital samples taken direct from the master tapes whereas M-tron and M-tron pro are digitally sampled mellotrons. 


How do you get the digital sample from the master tape? Do you just play it on a high quality reel to reel tape player?


I ask because having messed about with the M3000 and M-tron pro Streetly pack there is I think a distinct difference in the sound. I am not saying that one is better than the other but they do sound different.


Thanks
