It sounds quite good. As an user of MTron software, I agree that yours sounds better. I have on one of my tape sets the MKII Strings and I get to hear them for the first time in 8 days when I pick up my completely restored M400 #872 at the Mellotron Ranch- Yahoo!!

Warning! If you are of a nervous disposition, please do not venture beyond this point. However, this may be just the thing you need!  "Woolly Wolstenholme"

Just played it back, I haven't done a good job on equalising it, if you dare play it, please make sure the volume is turned down to protect your ears and any passing cats. All dogs shoulld be provided with ear defenders.

Any helpful comments would be appreciated, the E above middle C is particularly troublesome, I can only get it to play reliably with the pinch roller screwed almost all the way down, I'm hoping that a new pinch roller will sort that.

Otherwise I need a new motor controller card and possibly a new motor, the new tape frame is being held hostage by NZ customs, its:

A) Split choir
B) Mark II flute
C) M300a 2 violins

Cheers

Mark

PS I am easily pleased.

Strings are 3 violins played on my MK VI. The tune is Always The Sun
(chorus) by The Stranglers.

3 Violins on the MK VI sound very bright with the tone control at 10.
(Especially through a good keyboard amp or studio monitor). I
usually set the tone control at 3 or 4. I think that the MK VI 3V
tapes are copied from the MK II 3V master tapes, so that will make a
difference too.

Whatever the case, ya gotta press the right keys at the right time or
it will sound like shit.

Mark,
I suspect that you have either a problem with your tone pot or your
pre-amp. The tone control on my M400 has a very noticeable effect on
the sound output.

log would be the same as audio taper.
pots are either linear or log/audio.

Hi all-

 

    Perhaps it is a linear taper.  During repair I measured the resistance change as I turned the control, and seem to remember it as acting like a log-taper pot.  Memories are a funny thing, though, and I'm probably wrong.  But, a linear-taper pot might be easier to find in an electronics shop parts bin.

 

     Thanks-

Hey Mark-

   I had the same problem with my tone control; it had no effect.  I looked for a replacement, but couldn't find the right pot (with a 2-inch shaft) locally.  Using needle-nose pliers, I pried the control apart, and found some built-up gunk on the wiper.  After cleaning, buffing & re-tensioning the wiper, and cleaning the carbon pot surface, I carefully re-assembled it.  It now works fine (so far).

   You have to be careful when prying up the retention tabs on the pot housing.  They may only survive one bending cycle before breaking.  And, not all pots can disassembled to the point of repair.  Sealed pots work better, and mine is not sealed (so it will probably fail again).

    I don't have the info at hand, but I believe the original pot is a 25K ohm audio-taper.  I do remember reading in this forum that some have substituted a 10K pot, and it gave them a bit more control of the tone effect over the full travel of the knob (at the expense of loosing a little of the top-end).  10K pots are easier to find.

 

    Good luck.  My best-

 

     -Bruce D.

The tone control doesn't seem to make much difference to the sound on my M400, which is so bright as to be positively incandescent. Is this a fault on my machine or a difference between the Mark VI and the M400?

thanks...just a quickie that showed off the tron a bit.

It also features the Tacoma papoose, which gets a LOT of use.  I finally realized I prefer small guitars.  I'm on the hunt now for a 3/4 Stella/Harmony. Someone at work has one and I just love it.  They're all over ebay and usually less than 80 bucks.  Small price to pay for a superior sounding guitar.

Matching Mole's first album ends up with 'Immediate Curtain', which is
Robert Wyatt improvising on the Mellotron to the tune of the i ntro to
'Instant Kitten'.

It seems someone has worked out how to play it:

In the liner notes to the record Wyatt said that he 'couldn't leave the
Mellotron alone' when he found it.

That's why I like to use Mike Dickson's music. He has yet to threaten legal action. Of course if I ad one single note he will sick the solicitors on me, I'm sure.

I will get my solicitors to vomit on you?

I'm wondering what sort of retaining fee I'd have to pay them to ensure they'd comply.

Haha.

That band lost a lot when they dumped the mellotron -- and these tracks prove it, to my mind at least.

The band lost a lot when Gabriel and Banks and Rutherford first said 'Hey...let's put on a show...'

 

Was going to do Guide Vocal myself but Mike beat me to it! Nice one Mr D

Ta, Mr Kinch.
