Its called a "Chamberlin" Jerry Lewis always loved gadgets and tech toys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REwMm3tiN10&t=10s Edited by Bill Lewis (09/03/17 11:26 AM) _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

At the time, a new one was about $250,000.00. R.

Bachus Senior Member Registered: 03/02/06 Posts: 7143	Most of the orriginal Melotron sounds can be found in the Nord sample librarie... Somehow Nord got the rights for the orriginal melotron master tapes.. http://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-libraries/nord-sample-library-archive/mellotron _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net
