Mellotron M4000D Rack
Published on Dec 3, 2015 John L Rice
"A quick random noodling through the default sounds of awesome Mellotron M4000D Rack from http://www.mellotron.com/ There are also two keyboard versions of this instrument and I purchased mine from http://www.bigcitymusic.com/
This is a digital sample playback unit designed to recreate the sound of the Chamberlin and Mellotron magnetic tape sample playing instruments that were originally invented by Harry Chamberlin in the USA during the late 1940's / early 1950's and later modified by the Bradly Brothers in the UK, (now Streetly Electronics) whose Mellotron version became greatly popularized by and an important part of many of the biggest rock bands of the 1970's like The Rolling Stones, Yes, David Bowie and Genesis to name a few.
