The Mellotron Group

This looks like a very interesting instrument. Too bad they are only
producing it in a 49 key version. I would def be more interested if there
was a 76 key version. Damn, even a 61 would be acceptable to me.

 

Here are some interesting items from the specs.

 

First, 180 MB for samples seems a little stingy. I can fill my 1GB of sample
memory in my Motif XS pretty quickly. The compression has to take its toll
to get all those samples down in size. I do like the idea that it is flash
memory and that you do not have to reload all the samples.

 

I am curious what the price point will be.
