How true. The fidelity of Birotrons is less than that of Mellotrons and
especially Chamberlins, but that's probably due to several things i.e. the
master recordings, and the missing attack of the note, which we kind of
expect from these keyboards. The looping of the tape brings the sound closer
to an Optigan or Orchestron, but there may also be a tape head azimuth
factor as well. Perhaps Nic or Martin/John would know more about that.
