Mellotron was used a lot in progressive rock.
One tape recorder supports each keyboard. This tape recorder is only for playback, and the recording is not possible.
There are three trucks in each tape, and each truck can play a sound recorded beforehand. A violin section, a solo flute, a solo cello are recorded in normal tape.
There is one motor in the main body bottom and turns the big pulley which there is in the main body right with a belt. A long capstan sticks to a pulley. This capstan always turns under tape when switched on.
A pressure pad and a rubber pinch roller are installed under the keyboard. When a key is pressed, a pinch roller holds the tape to a capstan, and tape begins to work.
A pressure pad pushes tape to the playback head at the same time, and a recorded sound is played.
The tape is over from a start in 7-8 seconds. Therefore, the sound stops suddenly on the way. A spring sticks to each tape, and the tape is rewound at the top position by about 0.5 seconds when release a key.
When you want to change a sound recorded in tape, you move the position of the head in right and left with a truck selector.

These things always freak me out. The insides of pianos, too... mouse264@x46andtwo You can talk up digital sounds all you want, they still have yet to be able to capture the warmth and all around awesomeness of true analog instruments. ChrisGuerre The mellotron is the precursor of the strings sampler. John Lennon (and the Beatles) was the first that utilized the mellotron in a pop recording song, the 24 november 1966: "Strawberry Fields Forever" tape 1. (from the book "8 years at Abbey Road" by Mark Lewisohn) You can listen this record on Anthology album. Album 2 - CD 2 - track 2. Bye bye! STRAWBERRYSTUDIO2 So romantic... ciolamorta @videoeer The Mellotron itself though was invented in the Akkadian Empire under the reign of Sargon the Great. From there it went to the Egyptians, who introduced it to the Greeks, and then the Romans, who introduced it to Tony Banks 767fife @videoeer A gift of the gods Mell'Oh and Thro'Nh. Keijz74 Amazing! BadChizzle @samplesmasher yes the tape runs its course and has to do the fast rewind before you can hit that very same note again. dwemmy what happens, if you press a key too long? Does it stop? samplesmasher Interesting. I'd want one if not for having a keyboard and Reason. x46andtwo the scratching of a mellotron always seemed to make her cry grapeman56 The Mellotron is such a unique and beautiful sounding instrument , I love the way it sounds lonely , haunting and ghost like .... CoolStrat62 It sounds creepy. Airboy15 HAHAHAH. word. americanXXXlove that's part of what makes it cool irondaddymac @wado1942 No it doesn't! It just goes silent as the note stops. OFR Dude, that is funny! Great comment. You're right. It was not all that long ago that the Mellotron was state of the art technology. rickfreslanta Analogue can be on any kind of medium, tape, disk, wire, whatever. Same thing with digital. Digital just means the signal is numeric. Each tape has multiple tracks on it so changing sounds just means switching to adjacent track. I believe Mellotrons have 3 tracks across 3/8" tapes. wado1942 analog means works in terms of continuous values odenskrigare lmfao schwixol wo wo wooo, so analog means it runs on tape!!! omg i tottally did not know that, but how do u change the sound then? ONEyeMarco Ancient? Indeed, yes. I understand that some of the Egyptian pharoahs were buried with their mellotrons, though usually these with the first things stolen when their tombs were looted. videoeer Fascination sound of mellotron .... SUSANOSSS Neither really. It just sort of glitches on the last tiny segment of the sound as the tape slips & grabs on the rollers. wado1942 The tape is over from a start in 7-8 seconds.
