Mellotron Micro - Black

The Mellotron M4000D Micro Black Edition is a limited black-finished 25-note digital Mellotron that combines over 100 authentic Mellotron and Chamberlin sounds with modern digital technology, expandable sound card compatibility and an intuitive performance-focused design.

Legendary Mellotron Sounds in a Sleek Black Finish

The M4000D Micro Black Edition delivers the unmistakable sound of the world's most famous tape keyboard in an elegant all-black finish. Housing an extensive library of authentic Mellotron and Chamberlin recordings, it faithfully recreates the rich strings, choirs, flutes and orchestral textures that have shaped decades of classic recordings.

By replacing fragile tape mechanics with high-quality digital playback, the M4000D Micro Black Edition offers the same iconic character while eliminating tape wear, tuning drift and ongoing maintenance, making it equally at home on stage or in the studio.

Expandable Sound Library

Unlike earlier Micro models, the latest M4000D Micro Black Edition features an expansion slot compatible with every official Mellotron sound card, allowing you to add new sounds whenever inspiration strikes. It also incorporates the latest M4000D firmware features, including the highly requested High/Low switch positioned directly on the front panel for immediate access during performance.

Built for Modern Musicians

Maintaining the same compact footprint and connectivity as the previous generation, the M4000D Micro Black Edition remains lightweight and easy to integrate into any setup. While expression pedal functionality is not included, it retains all standard connections and replaces the illuminated logo with a distinctive phosphorescent Mellotron logo that glows after exposure to light.
