Bernie,
you're just parroting your standard answers and not engaging with what I'm saying.

It doesn't matter that on a real tape-based mellotron that's working properly, there's not a 'marshmallow' action that gives the effect of aftertouch.   I'm talking about being able to use the M4000D keyboard as a very nice PolyAT MIDI controller for OTHER things that AREN'T mellotrons.

I know you're sitting there going "What? Things that AREN'T MELLOTRONS?!  I don't understand! It doesn't compute! How could a musician be interested in things that AREN'T MELLOTRONS?!??! Are these musicians insane?!" but nevertheless, some people out there actually are, and their musical horizons are slightly broader that asking "Do I sound exactly like a King Crimson LP from 1969? DO I???  No?? Then I am WRONG :(  "
