#session #makemoremusic #mellotron
Ah Germany, the home of electronic music. :)
Love it. Mellotron strings to me are more like the ghosts of real strings which is really cool.
If it's a tape based unit, then why is it on a stand?
The 4000D is a digital unit, if it keeps the original Mellotron sound, us roadies are gonna love it. Finally a Mellotron that will actually fit in a keyboard case and can be carried by a single person.
Behold the power and the glory of our Mellotron Overlords! 🤍
Pretty cool! I have an M400 and a M4000. I'd love to have one of these as well. Markus makes nice stuff!
I like the 'secret stash' under the cover ;o) and wooden keys are pure nostalgia...
The original Mellotron was invented by Streetly Electronics in Manchester, England in 1962, and went on the market in 1963. Moody Blues keyboardist Mike Pinder fell into his role as keyboardist in the Moodies due to his being a pianist and a salesman for Streetly Electronics in 1963-64 when the Moodies first got together as the M&B Five in April-May 1964.
Gotta love me som Mellotron... Fantastic, lo-fi, very sentimental and beautiful.
@RothHandle The Mellotron was the first "sampler" - it plays recordings of other instruments. It has it's own unique sound due to the magnetic replay heads adding their own characteristics to the sound. It also adds all sorts or whirring and clunking noises which most people can live without! The 4000D has all the sounds most sane people would want and which the audience hears - QED
I dont find it pointless. I would rather have this onstage than a laptop/controller/etc etc. Same reason I gig out with a hammond XK1 instead of any virtual bullshit. The closer it looks, feels, and sounds to the real thing the better. That matters to some people. It's not like I'm not familiar with the mtron and chamberlain vst libraries. They sound great. Of any replica of mellotron this is what I'd want above all others, including the memotron.
Interessanter Beitrag👍🎹
they expanded the digital version so you could play watcher of the skies right on it. totally true story.
Nice review!
Excellent set up. Knew it was a matter of time where they'd digitize all of the old Mellotron sounds and make it all easily accessible and far more reliable than the tape units. Only negative is that I wish the keyboard was at least an octave longer.
there is a module version.
i wonder if you can use the whole range of a bigger keyboard in that case
But notice, the unit has MIDI, so a bigger keyboard could be hooked up as a controller. Since this is base on the original keyboard, I wonder if any notes would sound out of the original range?
@@Keyboardman88 a soft version could
This sound is very impressive.
Sweet. I want one!
does anybody know if you can load up 2 of the same sounds in slot A and B?
And if you can modulate the Motor 'slop' independently to these sounds?
Finally, someone knows there percussive instruments.
IST DAS GEIL! BENÖTIGE!!!!
Mellancolic Mellotron !
Pretty sure I'm buying one. Gonna need to save for a year lol
@wildmanatm
Thats so true !!!
Streetly is the best best best !!!!
Thanks for posting this,
Mattias
Yes, that is correct. To retain the true tonality it has to be limited in range. Good call.
I'm an analog musician all the way, love all that is analog. Digital is finally in a position to recreate analog with all of it's idiosyncrasies and make them random enough to please even me, but of course the real thing sitting there is beyond duplication. We should at least be glad that the speakers and our ears are still analog.
I look for someone to start experimenting with new types of microelectromechanical tone generation that can bridge the in/out gap between analog & digital. See me
Darf man Fragen wie die Musikstücke der Vorführung heißen ? Bei der Präsentation am Anfang und bei dem Elektro Gitarre Style ? hat mir gut gefallen. Sehr schöne Darbietung und Vorstellung der Orgel.
@newworldodour Nonsense - it has ALL that warmth and beauty!
yep!
Where Can I Get The Mellotron M400?
@UMAMIMAMU - No, the D stands for digital. If you watched the film up to 6 mins...the guy PICKED IT UP to show the rear panel.
Part of it's that it was on tapes, which decay to a degree. It creates a really unique effect. At least, on the analog mellotrons, the M-4000 D is digital. Its digital nature might be a part of it.
@GangstaGTV This is one of the new Mellotrons being produced currently by the Streetly Electronics Co with almost the exact same components as were used during the original production run. So no,it's not digital, this still uses magnetic tape. I forget what the web site is for them but I'm pretty sure they're made on a custom order basis. I'll put it this way, they're so expensive they don't even tell you how much they are on the web-site.
@SignoreMP - so true, what a disappointment compared to the filter in the Manikin Memotron but maybe the knob is just broken?
Genieles instrument, Ich habe ein original mellotron M400 aber diesem kling viel bessser als meine alte instrument.. grussen aus Usa.
What is the first song?
Hi. The piano melody of that song is ? 0.05
Does this new model still use tapes like the old ones used to?
nvte6797 yes
The original Mellotrons had the same range, so I guess they are trying to make it like that. And also the tape samples may only exist in that range. But who knows. That would be great to have a full keyboard mellotron
@lukuntri
Because of the wooden keys? They are very long.
The smell was unbelievable.
Thee Oh Sees - Minotaur makes heavy use of this
Its wierd that the mellotron uses actual samples. Because it sounds so synthetic. Especially the choirs. Those were real people? I could never have guessed.
yes
@Trondoc But....didnt you read what Tony wrote...? Dont you get it ?
4:48 EPITAPH!
This, the Nord Electro 3, or the Korg SV1???
@wildmanatm You are talking rubbish. Whilst I think Streetly have done wonders to keep the Mellotron alive, this is a fantastic digital version. Just received mine and it send tingles down the spine in the same way as the original. Keyboard is authentic, sounds are authentic without all the unnecessary mechanical gear that invarably goes wrong. Brilliant.
The first song is Crestfallen by the smashing pumpkins?
it is not the same great instrument that i played 40 ys ago. Which the reason to limit the feature of a digital keyboard?
Der Song ist die erste?
how much in one of those???
@wildmanatm So what? It's the sound that counts. I have sampled all 8 seconds of every note off the Mellotron to my inexpensive Korg TR and I challenge anyone to tell me they can tell the difference! In addition, I sampled in stereo. M4000 is only mono.
tengerine dream plays whit the mellontron trastofer rubycon the best band if want to listen the mellontron
I believe you can order them on the Mellotron website.
Mellotron als Rompler...bin ich ja eigentlich gar nicht für zu haben. Der Originalsound bestach ja gerade dadurch, dass das alles mechanisch war und seine kleinen "Schmutzeffekte" hatte. ABER die Vibes sind schweinegeil, zugegegben. ;) Ebenso die Tibia Organ.
I'd like to hear the strings part of the Moody Blues' "Land of Make Believe" and "You and Me" from Seventh Sojourn.
now you can play all the parts of the Goyte tune.
Is this the same mellotron The Strokes uses in 'Ask me Anything'?
***** No. It's not a mellotron at all. Just an overpriced sampler.
Fuk Yu
Yu are stupid as fuk!
@SignoreMP Der Tone regler is wie beim Original sehr dezent.
@CrownsTT
Ein Rick Wakeman oder Moody Blues Fanatiker kommt leider nicht darum herum. Was wäre "Nights in White Satin" ohne den charakteristischen Violinen Sound des Mellotrons? ;)
wie heißt der song
Strawberry Fields Forever Intro Pitch
Ich muss das haben!!! UNBEDINGT!!!!
Aber ich finde Preis leider total übertrieben. :(
Ich habe das Gerät letztes Jahr auf der Musikmesse angespielt. Nebendran stand ein echtes Mellotron. Tastatur, aber auch die Sounds wirkten komplett identisch. Nur hat man hier eben kein Bandsalat und alles schön Digital. :)
why is so it so big?
Some nice hot German action on vid
When I get rich I'm getting one.
Stylisch, aber ich kaufe mir lieber ein Calvia Nord Electro. Ist billiger und kann auch Melotron-Sounds.
2:39 blue jeans, white shirt…
Guilherme Dos Reis blue jeans!!
i want that guitar sample so much
4:26 It's not Glockenspiel, but a Vibraphone.
@SignoreMP selbst auf 720p nicht :D
how munch :D
@CrownsTT
Nein, nicht Blues! xD "Moody Blues" ist eine Rockband, die das Mellotron in ihren Alben eingesetzt hat und auch heute noch Live mit einem Digitalen Nachbau. dem Memotron auftreten. Das Mellotron ist sehr beliebt im Progressive Rock. Man benutzt es eigentlich nur für die Chöre, Streicher und Bläser. Die Piano und Gitarren Sounds die im Video gezeigt wurden, sind total unnötig.
It's 2700 + shipping. Yeah I know.
Looks like the M-4000D has 37 keys, starting with F. The vintage models have only 35 keys starting with G - that is very likely because the lowest note on a violin is a G.
What the heck do I want with two notes which don't exist on a real violin? For that kind of stuff I get myself a 61 key synth and vsti instruments. For a hardware based instrument I would like accuracy. Please.
Christian Schonberger
Because the original master recording have those two extra notes so Markus included them.
"hochgeladen am 15.03.2011".. selbsterklärend würde ich meinen.
Und die Begleitautomatik des Originals findet nicht statt? ua-cam.com/video/HdkixaxjZCM/v-deo.html
memotron came out before this. This guy just takes ideas from others.
George Rondina
Dumbest comment of six years ago! CONGRATS!
This is from the Mellotron company, though, so is it really stealing? Besides, the question is really who does it better. And I don't know that.
wieso macht ihr ein review eines produkts das ihr nicht verkauft? und wer verkauft es eigendlich? muss man sich da in eine liste beim hersteller eintragen? von dem man im internet jez auch nicht wirklich was brauchbares findet?
ohja,,, das live spielen neben ein Gitarrist mit weisse Les Paul...
yeah but 99 percent of the original sounds was only recorded in 3 octaves. There are No more notes available from the original tapes. Pitch or record more....hmmm no I don't think so.
Nicklas Barker
Hey genius the original Mellotron master recordings had those two extra notes so Markus included them. So... 7 years later have you mentally evolved at all?
Hmmm no? I didn’t think so.
DERP
I'd at least appreciate English subtitles :D I know very little of German.
dat sound shit, just like the original!
Bin ich der einzige, der beim Tone-Regler keinen Unterschied hört?
There is a actual Mellotron/Novatron 4000 with tapes, a great instrument that came out well before this device that capitalizes on the product name mellotron 4000. Why such a smarmy thing I will never understand. In the US it is a crime to restrain trade and that is what they have done. I will use the real thing or a Nord or software before I will use this thing because it is the product of some dirty shit. You will regret this one day, wrong and smug never work. Why don't you get decent.
kairohound
... because you cannot afford it then or now. ;)
Unnötig. Gibbet doch alles als Plugin für lau.
Unfortunately the digital version sounds no better than a Yamaha Montage!
does he talk like that because he's gay and talking in gay language?
This is so pointless, holy crap. The whole thing about using a melotron these days is to get the imperfections and "crappy" sampled sounds. Why oh why would you use a Melotron emulator? At that point just load up melotron samples in your favorite VST
@Marvio Botticelli
I love this dumb comment!
What a clueless bonehead!
😆
SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
