Mellotron 2005
October 17th, 2005
Remember the Mellotron? It was keyboard built in the 60′s which played tape loops of samples like strings, voices etc. The machine would roll a tape loop and vary the speed of the tape depending on the pitch of the key played. They sounded very cool on old Beatles and Genesis albums.
Here’s a modern day version of the Mellotron. All those tiny little black items are individual walkmans. Very cool.
