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.
