Frequently Asked Questions
The Fatar action is responsive, but lacks the depth and weight of a piano keyboard; it's more suited to textural playing than virtuosic piano passages.
No, the CF card is solely for storing the pre-loaded Mellotron and Chamberlin sounds – custom sample loading isn’t supported.
It convincingly emulates the characteristic warble, tape flutter, and overall sonic character of vintage Mellotrons, though it's a digital recreation, not an analog original.
