Mellotronists

just thinking outloud here...I'm surprised that the scientists at Streetly didn't embrace the
concepts alluded to in Justin Mayer's home-brewed J-Tron...low profile cabinet, 8 or 16
track tape..combining the best of Chamberlin & tron tech with state of the art circuitry and
motors etc. and internal digital efx.

Justin is a nice, clever chap and the JTron is great but it no longer cycles under it's own steam and only has two hand cranked positions.  The M4000 has multiple stations, is backwards compatible and sounds utterly mellotronic.  Due to the mechanism size, it will not fit in an M400 cabinet.

 

We expected all manner of suggestions about what we should have and could have designed.  What we have designed has been honed by careful consideration and not by seat of the pants thinking.  We deleted the waterproof barometer and kettle descaler after one such brainstorming session.  I hope you all like pink.
