Martin Orford (IQ, Jadis) in a recent interview:


TIM: Did you ever own a Mellotron?

MO : I used to have a Mellotron, but I sold it to Clive Nolan many
years ago. I liked the sounds but I don't like the actual instrument at
all. It's a horrible keyboard and they go wrong all the time. I would
much rather access those sounds using modern technology that actually
works! The Sampletank Mellotron sounds sound a lot better to me than my
old Mellotron 400 anyway, and generally I was pretty disappointed with
the real Mellotron.
