The Projectron is a small looped-tape thingy that was invented by Parsons when he was still with EMI. It allowed recording of a loop of tape to play over and over - sort of a one-note Mellotron. ;-) The Projectron was never a "full production" unit. Oh yeah, it was definitely analog. > BTW, Alan Parsons is touring again. He's coming through LA in July.

I'm wrong, again ;) I just about blew my Pepsi out my nose when I read this. Where did you get this info? I would like to know *MORE*!! Is he coming anywhere near Portland? -->Neil Neil Bradley | "Music is the ultimate mood shifter. It can make you root@synthcom.com | laugh, cry, or change the station.
