So the new digital Mellotron will be called the M4000-D. Seems like Markus could have found a better name. _http://www.sonicstate.com/news/2010/01/19/wnamm-its-a-big-white-digital-tro n/_ (http://www.sonicstate.com/news/2010/01/19/wnamm-its-a-big-white-digital-tron/)

Interesting that it will also emulate the touch sensitivity of a mellotron. If I'm not mistaken, it will have some of the 'articulations' that Fritz and Chris talked about earlier. Agreed. They should pick another number for Christ's sake! Clay --- In newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com, lsf5275@... wrote:

I agree on the model number issue. Seems like a bit of a risk. A useful addition for stage play would be a programmable "favorite voices" selector, with possibly 12 or more memorized A/B combos. The present design looks like it requires one to spin the voice selectors thru up to 50 stops each way, until the required voice is found (for both A & B voices). This digital 'tron looks like a great addition for the stage, but only if it sits on top of a real one! -Bruce Daily --- On Tue, 1/19/10, ClayE <ecclesreinson@rogers.com> wrote: From: ClayE <ecclesreinson@rogers.com> Subject: [newmellotrongroup] Re: New Digital Mellotron will be called the M4000-D.

Well that's no good. They obviously did it to PISS YOU OFF! Now that you are not, they look rather silly.
A tit for tat thing...
Streetly M4000 mellotron
M4ooo-D Mellotron
Sheesh,
To me, it is like saying that the MKVI and MKVII models are obsolete and doomed to irrelevance.
MKXXXIX - D100 Mellotron/Chamberlin/Optagon, is a much more logical choice; why didn't they think of this??
