Mellotron

[c7sus]

Try the late sixties.

Strawberry Fields Forever was the first hit record to feature the Mellotron and it came out in 1967.

.

Really? It sounds older than that. The clicking typewriters and the bus sounds and that stuff.

I mean, we had Bob Dylan in 1965!

Not sure who you're talking to, but more modern equipment is not always "trading up". It depends.

As far as M-Tron, I would say that it is a very cool instrument in actual use. The samples aren't sparkling stereo samples of the latest sounds. But they have an amazing emotional impact within actual music. I like the M-Tron's approach of emulating the original instrument, along with all of it's limitations: 8 second note length, 35 note range on the keyboard, and so on.
