I think it all depends on how it is done. If it is a note for note sample full length...
And if the price is 2700 well..
I use my Mellotrons and old machines in the studio everyday but There are very few of my clients who actually gives a shit if its a Mellotron flute, Flute 2 or a Chamberlin flute. Ill give them suggestions. ..but in the end they decide and they pay the invoices. The people on this list care but in the “real”world a high quality collection of note for note samples in a dedicated machine could go a very long way...
Computers and midi keyboards will never be sexy.

Nah, I doubt this will make a difference to the "Chamberlin" market. If you ever had one or ever played one you'd know.
Chamberlin sounds in a Mellotron do not sound the same as a real Chamberlin - just as the M400 violins do not sound identical to the MK II violins, nor do M300 sounds or MK II sounds sound like a real MK II or M300 if they're coming from an M400.
This is my experience playing multiple Chamberlins and Mellotrons over the last 20 years. They're all unique and different.
If you really spend time closely listening to all these instruments you can tell.
Most people can't because they only use 1 machine at best. No A and B comparison can be made.
This new digital version is for a different market anyway.
I imagine Markus will continue to build the MK 6 alongside this digital tron, just as Streetly will continue with the M4000.
And rightfully so.
Anyone wanting authenticity and a product of real quality will buy an original tape version.
Anyone wanting the sounds and feel with digital high quality will buy an authorized "tribute version"
There's room for both.

Buying a Chamberlin M1 for 7000 dollars wont really make as much sense anymore...
But keep it a secret...

If true, Memotron is done for. Markus will hit a home run if pricing is that low.

I'd be surprised if it was that cheap. Didn't someone post $2700? That seems more likely, but even that could be low.
