Mellotron M4000D

The M4000D is the digital recreation of the classic Mellotron design. What we love about the M4000D is that it features the classic controls that you expect playing a vintage Mellotron –including a full size Mellotron key bed!– but with a few improvements and creative features (like easy track blending, and half motor speed). The full size M4000D features balanced XLR outputs not available on the smaller configurations. It features the same controls as the 100 classic sound samples from Mellotron and Chamberlin library with the ability to expand an additional 100 sounds.

Stop by The Chicago Electric Piano Company and you can compare it to our vintage M400 on our showroom floor!
