Don't get me started on a 4000D. I know people who are full time working   musicians who's records we have all bought and it is regarded as adirty   oppurtunistic fake, like a guitar with Gribson or Pender on the headstock,   there were such things.  
  
If you can't afford a real Mellotron then don't bother buying an ersatrz   device.. get a laptop or a sampler, theat plays Streetly approved samples. I   have a Melotron and a computer and a sampler but I have felt no need for a   thing that replicates a common thing like sample playback. If there was   anything about these machines that made them special in termsof functionality   I would not hesitate to reccomend.EG : I can't find a anything that repliactes   my Crumar Performer.
  


  
A VST playback module like the Muse would be what I would buy
  


  
Look up the gear approach used by Radio Massacre International. A   stripped down sampler with good samplesin a solid easy to maintain hardware   shell and power sypply that demands no work to replace .is a great   thing.

i am considering buying a digital mellotron,(i     would prefer the analogue M4000 by streetly but it is way too     expensive...)
So please share your thoughts M4000D or memotron / memotron     rack.
Your opinions will be very usefull,thanks in advance

ps: (i     have the software) it is for gigging!!
