Here's what Electro Harmonix say about the MEL9 Tape Replay Machine:
Now any electric guitar player can have access to nine magically quirky, dark and unique Mellotron® sounds. No more extra devices such as special and cumbersome 13-pin MIDI pickups! In addition to electric guitar, you can trigger the MEL9 with any instrument that produces an electrical output, such as a keyboard or a bass, down to 55 Hz or A1.
The polyphonic EHX MEL9 has superior tracking; you can create single notes or chords with ease. The MEL9 will follow guitar bends, dive bombs, slurs, and any other guitar expression/performance techniques you can throw at it!
- Pays homage to nine of the coolest Mellotron® sounds: Orchestra, Cello, Strings, Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Brass, Low Choir and High Choir - Works on guitar without modifications, special pickups or MIDI implementation and tracks bends, slides, even whammy dive bombs! - Also works with bass guitar down to the open A string as well as keyboards within the limits of its polyphony (5 notes) and range (A1 to A5) - Includes independent Effect and Dry volume controls so you can create the perfect mix at the Effects output - Dry Output jack outputs your input signal at unity gain - Attack control sets the volume swell speed. As it’s turned clockwise the notes fade in more gradually - Sustain control adjusts the release time after a sound is stopped. As it’s turned clockwise, the fade out time increase - Power adapter included
