Completely agree Tom


Which makes me wonder,aren't the samples in the 
M4000D taken directly from the mastertapes, instead of 
a  real Mellotron?



I believe they were taken from a real Mellotron.  The typical  NAMM show 
cacophony aside (plus the dipshits trying God knows what with the  analog 
synths in the Big City Music booth like Berington mentioned), doing A/B  
comparisons this year (w/ an M400) and last year (w/ a MkVI), it's  damned hard to 
tell any difference.
 
I'll upload some pics as well.
