Mellotron Micro Module

Current
Released 2025

Essentially a Mellotron Micro with the keyboard removed. It is a small desktop box holding the same 100 sounds, and at $615 it is the cheapest way to get the official tape library in hardware. It responds to polyphonic aftertouch from a suitable controller, but the MIDI sockets are 3.5 mm (Type B) and there is no MIDI out.
