The LOFIATRON is a custom, handmade, unique musical instrument that was developed using inspiration from the 1960s iconic Mellotron Keyboard used by bands like The Beatles, Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd to name a few.
The sound production mechanism is quite different from traditional keyboards like pianos or synthesizers. The Lofiatron produces sound by playing back pre-recorded tapes of real instruments , Synths, Samples, voices, or any kind of sound you can think of. It has a distinctive and nostalgic quality.
