One hundred 24-bit uncompressed sounds are immediately accessible, sourced from original first-generation Mellotron and Chamberlain tape libraries. An octave selector switch provides access across the same range as the larger M4000Ds from Micro’s two-octave keyboard. The semi-weighted keys and MIDI connections also allow the Mellotron Micro to be used as a high-quality controller in your studio or on the road. Additional controls include octave selector, volume, tone, normal/half-speed play and pitch adjustment.Features:100 instantly accessible Mellotron and Chamberlin sounds, captured from original tape sources at 24-bits, uncompressedA and B sound banks simultaneously accessible, with mix controlControls for octave, volume, tone, normal/half-speed play and pitch adjustmentOutputs on unbalanced 1/4-in line connectorsAdditional 1/4-in connectors for sustain and headphonesMIDI in, out, and thru Review: A nostalgic joy to play - I love this thing. Used it on multiple recordings and remote live sessions since getting it a few months ago. A missing piece in my rig that offers simple and elegant musical solutions. With its sound, size and build quality I’m looking forward to taking it out on the road when touring opens up again. Review: Awesome! - I purchased this about a week ago and am very happy with it. Small, sturdy, easy to use and the sounds are amazing! Very natural and the sounds are like the actual instrument. You can hear the breath on woodwinds, the bow scrapping the strings on cello and violin, the rasp of the sax, etc. The keys have nice action and you can press harder or softer to affect the sound/ attack. It truely is an orchestra and choir in a box. I'll be using this in my home studio for sure. For the price, it would be nice if it came with a carrying case, but it probably won't leave my studio so no big deal on that. Highly recommend if its something you're considering. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0734DKTLV | | Best Sellers Rank | #33,517 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #67 in Synthesizer & Workstation Keyboards | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (36) | | Date First Available | December 7, 2017 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Item model number | KJF-E546FX1174 | | Manufacturer | Mellotron | | Product Dimensions | 23 x 11 x 7 inches | ## Images ![Mellotron Micro Digital Synthesizer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616RqwbSafL.jpg) ![Mellotron Micro Digital Synthesizer - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614rtICynHL.jpg) ![Mellotron Micro Digital Synthesizer - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612uQtRNfkL.jpg) ![Mellotron Micro Digital Synthesizer - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719tVINCdVL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Like the original mellotron, is there a time limit on holding keys down?** A: Yes. It ships from the factory with the same time limit as the original tape loops (8 seconds I believe). However, there’s a menu option to turn that function off and have the sound trigger as long as you hold the keys down. **Q: can i plug directly into an amplifier?** A: Yes- there is a 1/4 inch output that can go directly into an amp - and also a jack for headphones. But the BEST option is to buy a stereo cable, because the output is in stereo. I run a 1/4 stereo cable that splits into two R/L mono cables, then plug them into two different channels of a PA system. Pan them to taste- it sounds awesome. I also suggest a little reverb- these sounds are great but they are totally DRY. **Q: can i use midi to play more than 2 octaves?** A: Yes. The sounds in the Mellotron library span three octaves (F-F). The Micro keyboard has two octaves (C-C) that can be shifted up or down via onboard octave switch. Or you can reach all three octaves of the library sounds via MIDI. **Q: What is the polyphony of the Mellotron Micro? Meaning the number of simultaneous voices?** A: The Mellotron Micro has 24-voice polyphony and 2-voice timbrality. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nostalgic joy to play *by H***F on May 18, 2021* I love this thing.

Around a hundred taped instrument sounds are digitally available and sound as good as an original Mellotron or Chamberlain. Two sounds can be played at once, adding to the versatility. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mellotron Micro Digital Synthesizer - Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-3 Build Your Own Kaoss Pad Kit - CME MIDI Cable 4-Pack - 1FT / 30cm, 5-pin DIN, Low-Profile - Mirrored 45-Degree Angled Ultra-Thin Plugs for Compact Spaces - Ideal for MIDI Interface, Pedalboard, Keyboard --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/71805577-mellotron-micro-digital-synthesizer](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/71805577-mellotron-micro-digital-synthesizer) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
