Re: [newmellotrongroup] Nights in White Satin

It's the same string sound a 400 has but the sound is coming from (at that time) the MK II tube preamps, miked up speakers, and an plate reverb.

It's more the processing than the actual tapes. Modifying the Mellotron came later.

I'm not a Moody Blues fan but just been listening to "nights" again, not a song I like but the mellotron sound really is wonderful, I think the Mark II has a sound of it's own I don't believe you could make an M400 sound like that.
