Mellotron M4000D Rack

CurrentReleased 2014

The full M4000D engine in a 2U rack, with the balanced XLR outputs and the expansion slot. With no keyboard of its own, it relies on your controller for feel, so it suits studios that want the real tape library more than the Mellotron playing experience.
