Mellotron M4000D Micro Ultra-Compact Digital Mellotron-Style Keyboard - Black

The Mellotron M4000D Micro is the smallest keyboard version of the digital Mellotron that features many of the features of the full-size version. One hundred 24-bit uncompressed sounds are immediately accessible, sourced from original first-generation Mellotron and Chamberlin tape libraries. The 100 sounds are the sounds on the built-in Sound Card 01 of the Micro and M4000D series of instruments. An octave selector switch provides access across the same range as the larger M4000Ds from Micro’s two-octave keyboard. The semi-weighted keys and MIDI connections also allow the Mellotron Micro to be used as a high-quality controller in your studio or on the road. Additional controls include octave selector, volume, tone, normal/half-speed play and pitch adjustment.

The M4000D Micro is a revision of the original Mellotron Micro that can take take expansion cards and is updated via Compact Flash, just like the rest of the M4000D series. It features the same architecture and most of the features of the M4000D series firmware (aside from expression inputs). The switch on the front panel is a High/Low like on the M4000D series (the virtual tape is played at half or quarter speed). The octaves on the keyboard are switched by pressing and holding Select A.
