I’d love to get my hands on this!
The Streetly Electronics M4000 Mellotron
The new Streetly Electronics M4000 is the first cycling tape replay keyboard instrument to be manufactured anywhere for nearly 40 years.
Unlike the nearly four-decades-old M400 and present day reproductions, which offer only three sets of sounds, the M4000 incorporates an improved tape cycling mechanism based on the original Mellotron Mk. I, Mk. II and M300 design. Eight “stations” that each includes three sets of prerecorded sounds (designated A, B, and C) may be individually selected. Each of those three sound sets, playable across the 35-note (G ??? F) keyboard, may be individually selected or blended with the immediately adjacent set (A+B or B+C).
