Memotron M2K : The Mellotron!

6 years ago

Forget about Markus Reich's Mellotron (he just bought the trademark, but forgot to put love in his product). The Memotron should deserve the original Mellotron trademark as stated by streetly electronics (the original Mellotron builders). The Fatar keyboard feels just right, the sounds collection is incredible and the device is easy to use. But the best part is that it HAS the real mellotron sounds! This unit has been designed by Klaus Hoffmann Hoock (RIP) and he KNEW how it had to sound. Lots of tweakable effects and some features (halfspeed, the tone filter which is basically a resonance filter) allow customizable incredible sounds. Built in a white metal casing (powder coated) with 37 keys instead of 35 in the original Mellotron, incredible frames (the moog/orchestra split is to be damned for) and many more features make this piece of gear an absolute must have both for studio and live usage (Ask Rick Wakeman, Klaus Shulze and the actual English progressive scene). Thank you Manikin Electronics for this wonderful dream machine.
