BigRedX Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1449597907' post='2925046'] I heard once you could get eight seconds out of a Mellotron note? [/quote] IIRC the tape length of the original Mellotron was just under 7 seconds and there was a delay before the note could be played again for its full duration as the tape needed to rewind. Also playing too many notes at once put too much strain on the tape drive motor and would cause the tapes to play too slowly and the notes to be flat.
