Mellotron inside

YouTube via btpro. Audio comes it at 1:21.
"Mellotron is an ancient sampler. It records a sound in analog tape without using the computer technology.

Mellotron was used a lot in progressive rock.

One tape recorder supports each keyboard. This tape recorder is only for playback, and the recording is not possible.

There are three trucks in each tape, and each truck can play a sound recorded beforehand. A violin section, a solo flute, a solo cello are recorded in normal tape.

There is one motor in the main body bottom and turns the big pulley which there is in the main body right with a belt. A long capstan sticks to a pulley. This capstan always turns under tape when switched on.

A pressure pad and a rubber pinch roller are installed under the keyboard. When a key is pressed, a pinch roller holds the tape to a capstan, and tape begins to work.

A pressure pad pushes tape to the playback head at the same time, and a recorded sound is played.

The tape is over from a start in 7-8 seconds. Therefore, the sound stops suddenly on the way. A spring sticks to each tape, and the tape is rewound at the top position by about 0.5 seconds when release a key.

When you want to change a sound recorded in tape, you move the position of the head in right and left with a truck selector.

A famous performance :
King Crimson, Yes(Rick Wakeman), Herbie Hancock, Moody Blues"

Switched Off Bach / Invention #4 / SH-1000 vs SH-2000

YouTube via btpro. music starts at :35.
"The Joy of the Preset-Synthesizer. First battle is Roland SH-1000 vs SH-2000!

I like Preset-Synthesizer. An engineer made sound with analog technology at the time without the sampling technology.

It was often that I heard a sound different from the displayed name in them.

I often thought "Is this the sound of the piano?".

But I can imagine a desperate face of the engineers who are going to make a genuine sound with an analog circuit.

It is very exciting/humorous for me.

Roland SH-1000 is Japanese first synthesizer and SH-2000 is Preset-synthesizer for organist.

I love them! Please enjoy!"
