im sorry to piss you off... but i'm part of the ipod generation. there is reason why cassette tapes, 8-track, reel-to-reel, vhs, etc. all died as a format. digital is the way to go.

yeah but its easier to dig and find dinosaur bones than it is to find a working mellotron for 2000.

I think it was Fritz a while back who was
lamenting how the visual media (movies, etc.) keep expanding on quality and
clarity while audio media (music, etc.) keeps squeezing the life out of the
quality by sampling and smashing things down --- There’s also a reason
that so much of what has been sliced, diced and regurgitated from digital
instruments is from real instruments, like a multiple-ton pipe organ that can’t
slip into your “hip” pocket. Have you listened to a direct-to-disk recording
on a good turntable with decent speakers? No tape shadow – and no digital
clip.…. “ipod

I wonder just how many of the new Mellotron sounds the Memotron has, or M-Tron Pro or any commercial sample set. New String Section? New Cello? Angry Strings? French Horn? Baritone Sax?
