The Streetly Tapes M300
Hi-fi sci-fi from the first single keyboard ‘Tron.
Built from 1968 to 1971, the M300 was the portable Mellotron with a new, cleaner set of sounds, and the Moody Blues, Barclay James Harvest and Gentle Giant carried it on stage.
In collaboration with Streetly Electronics, the M-Tron Pro includes all 17 M300 lead sounds from the original EMI tape stock, plus over 100 patches.

Mellotron® M300
The M300 was the first ‘Tron with a single 52 note keyboard, considerably more portable than the MkII before it. Its production life was short, from around 1968 to 1971, but it was used by some heavyweight bands including The Moody Blues, Barclay James Harvest, Earth and Fire, Gentle Giant and Marmalade, and it came with a new set of sounds considered more hi-fi than the MkII’s.
The Streetly Tapes M300 is also available with new purchases of the M-Tron Pro Complete bundle, which includes M-Tron Pro IV and all the Expansion Packs: a superb 12.5GB+ sound library with 525+ tape banks and 3700+ presets.
