The Mellotron Group

I saw Pat with his Orchestrion a few months ago at Orchestra Hall in Chicago. An absolute mind blowing experience. I'm still trying to come to terms with it. I still catch myself drooling and babbling senselessly on a daily basis at the very thought of it.

I wonder if it has one paper roll or several synchronized rolls. Who made the rolls for Metheny's music?

If Metheny toured with a midi sequencer/sampler for a band, it would be a deadly boring show. Touring with this Orchestrion would not be a boring show?
