Once again, Markus told me that the sounds were NOT taken directly from the master tapes.  Otherwise, it would have been painfully obvious during an A/B comparison between an M4000D and a MkVI (or a 400), which I did at NAMM with the volume up and standing directly in front of the speaker on both occasions.  I would dare any of you to tell the difference even under more controlled conditions.

Let me try to explain this thread. Mr. Herder thinks that the samples in the M4000D were taken directly from the mastertapes, instead of 
a real Mellotron. I cannot imagine why they would do that. Did MR or DK say that they did this? Maybe they were misinterpreted. It makes no sense.

P.S. Charles - The plexiglass mellotron has a more transparent sound. (some twit had to say it)
