Mellotronists

A little question related to Mellotrons I guess, or to early 
experiments with samplers, who knows, just because I am 
always curious when I can't find good answers after searching 
the www. OK, has anyone informations what exactly a 
"PROJECTRON" is? It's been used (or at least credited) on the 
early albums of Alan Parsons Project - "which" has not used 
Mellotrons as far as I know. Who knows something more?

I think the Projectron was Alan Parson's attempt to build a next-generation 
Mellotron with all the features he could imagine in 1976, including the 
capability to record samples, play loops, and be controllable electronically 
- a music making "I Robot".

Regards,
Jim

-I believe the Projectron was a 16/24 track board playing loops of 
sustained sounds ala "I'm Not In Love" by 10cc...the sounds played 
with the console faders
