Digital Mellotron

Hi Charles,
looks cool, really a Memotron with the real name on it.
There is some purist debate regarding the the sound sources: real tapes, custom tapes, restored or un restored.
I was wondering when will the search for the originally sampled instruments start, the choirs could be an issue
The VSTi's M-Tron Pro and Sampletron sound fine to my ears and OK for studio set up.
The new Moog Taurus looks intersting, should have rolled out late last years, now it's this quarter, we'll see:

I could not see how or why to be honest.
With such a small library of sounds, it is instantly recognisable, even a single note.
In the last few years it really copped a flogging with just about everybody using a Memotron or the VSTi's and can't see anyone releasing another Epsilon in Malayisan pale.
I like it, but commercially am not sure it will make it.

Interesting. I thought Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock (which sampled the Mellotrons that made it to the Memotron) remastered and "softened up" the Memotron sounds, but I could be wrong in this. Has you compared the Memotron to a real Mellotron?
Also; how is the keyboard feel of the Memotron? On a real Mellotron you can control dynamics with the key pressure.

There is no key pressure on the Memotron.
And I haven't yet play a real Mellotron.
Only the StudioCollection sounds are cleaned. The others are just a little refurbished original mellotron frames. But you know, they are not all sounding a like anyway, due to different worn out tapes.

My remark about the more perfect recreation was about the look and features. No splitting of the keyboard. No two displays. Less additional knobs on the left hand section.

If the digital Mellotron is able to get the keyboard feeling and the special articulation by pressure, then it might be interesting for a few people. But I don't think it will sold more then 100 or maybe even 200 as the Memotron.

But developing such a thing and doing special custom made keyboard action of the digital Mellotron costs a fortune. So it is a bit risky to do this. If it had been released at the before or at the same time as the memotron, things would have been easier for them.

Only a real mechanic tape based Mellotron is a perfect mellotron. But how many of the original ones are still in fully working and adjusted order?

Question:
there are not three sounds loaded into this digital Mellotron and available with one knob to blend from one to another? At least I could not figure out how to do this by looking on the available pictures.
