M4000 specification 8 stations, 24 sounds. That's the equivalent of 8 original M400 mellotron tape-frames in one instrument. Inching facility. In addition to the factory pre-sets, program your own 'start' positions. Advance the tapes by inching to your new preferred position. This can then be programmed in for future use. Cycling optical failsafe. Just like the MKII, the M4000 is designed to prevent damage to the tapes whilst the instrument cycles to the next station choice. If the keys are pressed during this operation, the unique optical keyboard scanner will shut down the cycling system. MKII keyboard feel. Anyone who has ever played a MKII has commented on just how good the keyboard feels compared to the M400. The M4000 recaptures that elusive feel, making the keyboard light and very playable. MKII playing height. Banish that bad posture for good! The M4000 has a much improved playing height allowing for a comfortable standing position. Positively pressurised cabinet. Foul air can clog up your mellotron and wreck your tapes. The M4000 has the unique FILTRON air cleanser that sucks in filtered air from the base and gently pressurises the cabinet, keeping out stage smoke and other unwanted atmospheres. Azimuth align-able tape heads. The head-block is the heart of your mellotron and the heads must be accurately set. The M4000 playback heads are mounted in revolving collars so that each one can always be positioned for correct response. Choose your own tapes. You choose 24 sounds from our extensive Tape Library and customize your new M4000.

With the iconic looks of the M400, the cycling mechanism of the MKII, and enhanced by new technology and features, the M4000 mellotron is the modern embodiment of the classic instrument.
