I wonder if they'll paint it black?
1 way to find out, ask!
My music is very dark (no pun).

It does look to be a very impressive digital machine.
 
And I would definitely trust a product by either Streetly or Markus because they both put so much passion and care into what they do. They're not to make a quick buck selling cheap crap.
 
Yeah, I agree about the name. This could cause confusion for newbies which could be an indirect hindrance to both Markus and Streetly simply because the name is so close.
 
Although If they were one company, the name would be easy and make sense
 
 - the M4000 is the original analogue tape version,  and the M4000-D is the digital version. 
 
Two different markets.

  I agree on the model number issue.  Seems like a bit of a risk.
  A useful addition for stage play would be a programmable "favorite voices" selector, with possibly 12 or more memorized A/B combos.  The present design looks like it requires one to spin the voice selectors thru up to 50 stops each way, until the required voice is found (for both A & B voices). 
  This digital 'tron looks like a great addition for the stage, but only if it sits on top of a real one!

Interesting that it will also emulate the touch sensitivity of a mellotron. If I'm not mistaken, it will have some of the 'articulations' that Fritz and Chris talked about earlier.

Agreed. They should pick another number for Christ's sake!
