I would think that if you want the sound of a Mellotron, you need to have the sound processed by a Mellotron, otherwise, wouldn't it sound too much like the actual recordings of the instruments?
Wise words Bernie. All mellotron production tapes were from 3rd or 4th generation work masters and NOT master tapes. The degredation is what gives them
that sound. If you recordings straight from the masters, you would feel cheated of the character you expected.
