Klaus Schulze & Schrittmacher
> In the studio of KS in late 2007
THORSTEN QUAESCHNING
Thorsten Quaeschning & Schrittmacher
"The Schrittmacher has a decisive impact upon my method of operation. The release from manual functions, together with the concentration on single sounds, gives me the freedom to produce interesting and exceptional sequences. Schrittmacher - every sound counts!"
MARIO SCHÖNWÄLDER
John Christian & Mario Schönwälder & Schrittmacher
"Crazy! My dreams have come true. The best step-sequencer I could have thought of. Thank you Thorsten and Markus!!"
THOMAS FANGER
Fanger & Schönwälder & 2 Memotrons @ Analogue Haven
"If it's about real authentic high class Mellotron sounds nothing beats the Memotron. It's also very sexy and fun to play. I truely love it!"
BAS BROEKHUIS
"Free your mind in 16 steps! The Schrittmacher (Pacemaker) is a high quality sequencer, totally musical and intuitive to use. Or better said, an inspired musical instrument that has become the driving force in my studio! I have worked in the past with many hard- and software sequencers, but the Schrittmacher really gives me the feeling of “sequencing freedom”. Thanks to all the developers for such a great instrument! The Schrittmacher has become my “sequencer for life” but, thanks to faster editing possibilities and pre-loading of new sequences, also my “sequencer for live”!
Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater) & Memotron
"To me, the Memotron is the ultimate reproduction of the classic Mellotron. For me and my band Dream Theater, the Memotron is the perfect instrument for providing the classic vintage sounds we desire. Not only that, but the interface and general "feel" of the instrument are awesome. Good job guys!! JR "

KLAUS HOFFMANN-HOOCK
(MIND OVER MATTER, COSMIC HOFFMANN)
"For more than forty years I am a fan of the Mellotron and its marvellous sounds. Being a musician with dozens of Mellotrons, knowing them inside out and having written about them in several musical papers, I know the mighty Tron's weak points, too. For years I had a modern digital realization of the mechanical Mellotron principle in mind when in 2005 MANIKIN ELECTRONIC entrusted me because of my expertise in Mellotron samples with the creation of their sound library.
In his last interview in 1995 "Mr Mellotron" Les Bradley confided me that he knew quite well about the flaws in his machines and sounds but due to a constant lack of money and time he had not been able to fix them all. When he answered my question if he would have built the Mellotron with a digital sound storage had it not been so expensive then with a clear 'Yes', I figured out that a digital Mellotron with top sounds is not a sacrilege but the natural consequence of an advanced technology. With the Memotron the vision of a modern "orchestra under your fingertips" full of character finally has become reality."
